Practice squad players dont count against the 53 man squad, so that wouldn't help

I believe I worked out the flaw in the programming...

I signed 112 players to my roster and when it came time to cut the numbers where off by 12, 41/53

I signed 110 players to my roster and the exact same thing happened, numbers where off by 10, 43/53

99 players signed to my roster produced no fail in the system 53/53

so it appears if you go 100 player count then that somehow screws the math when cutting

how ever many over the 100 will result in that number short on the 53 count

Way ta go EA... thats some effort

Same team Wahington, incorrect roster count, has happened twice on seperate saves

Do you have players on the practice squad you can cut?

@mykalbuckle a simple cap at 75 would prevent this... like we had in previous editions

Thanks for sharing that, I'll relay it to the team. I'm going to mark this solved so others have better visibility on fixing this from their end.

Just ran into this problem. Did a player count and counted 41 players, with the game saying I have 68. Cut all my practice squad players to no avail.
