I've had the game since release and would have attempted a roster set if I'd known then what I know now...but with posts like the aforementioned one, well, you get the point. The whole "start your own roster" bit is tired...especially with a widespread understanding that a repeat of last year's roster situation wasn't going to occur again...

Which is the basic premise when I started this post...well said Outlaw. We were all led to believe that a roster set was quickly on the horizon after release of OOTP 2007. As we now know, that was a farce. I also agree that the "build your own roster set" is a load of horse____. I have no doubt I could do it, but as Outlaw stated, we were led to believe it was "being uploaded as we speak." So why recreate the wheel...just take the wheel that is created and improve it or tweak it to my car...so to speak. Anyways, that entire episode is water well under the bridge at this point.
I have the utmost faith in Erich because over the years he has proved his integrity on the boards and with previous roster offerings. I am sure his arm issues have caused a slow down and nothing is more important than personal health and well being.
I also agree that something needs to be done in the "chain" to allow these rosters to be ready on release day. Whether it is a banded group of responsible community members who have access via Marcus to what is needed or it is done some other way. It would solve a lot of the issues revolving around the Roster Fiasco of '07. If release date is Opening Day then give the roster makers 2 months lead time to have it ready to go.
All things being equal - it's not rocket science...it's more good organization and foresight than anything.
