Madden NFL 12 Announces Rosters and CBA Rules

With announcement of a new collective bargaining agreement between NFL players and owners, EA sports has no clarified that the new CBA rules will not make it into this year’s Madden NFL 12. Seeing as how Madden is set to release about a month from now (August 30) this news shouldn’t be unexpected. “Due to the new CBA being implemented so late in our development cycle, we were unable to include the new CBA rules in Madden NFL 12. Due to the complex nature of the new rules and the current structure of in-game data and AI, we’re not able to patch in the new CBA rules.”

Also noted was that updated rosters with all free agent moves will be available at launch. Does anyone want to take bets on whether or not Brett Favre will be included in the free agent list?
