I have it for PS4. Haven't done much with it but they added the practice squad. They do not have Byrd on the roster yet, so I'm waiting for that roster update. I tried to create him but they make you pay him as if he is a free agent when you create a guy. I'm not paying Byrd what he may be worth for at least 3 years. :)

I haven't played with the rosters very much, so I haven't noticed the absence of Byrd. I looked at the highest rated players - Luke tops that list. I think they mixed up Benjamin and Funchess receiving skills. Benjamin catches everything. He's like Jerry Rice in this game. Funchess, on the other hand, he drops it. Every. Single. Time.

I plan on starting up my franchise today and then going online over the weekend... unless, of course, someone here wants to get a game going before then.

I'm still waiting for the rosters to update. I played through a few seasons with the franchise but I don't want to really sit down and play it until the rosters have all the right people.

Also, noticed for some reason that Yankey had SuperStar development speed. That kinda threw me off. I'm wondering if that had to do with him doing really well for me that first year and getting a bump in development speed. At the end of the season he had like 18,000 development points. And so did that guy who made it to our Practice Squad...I forget his name. Just found it weird.

I downloaded an update last night, but it may have been old since I hadn't played in a week.

I've only played one game online - some cheeser also playing as the Panthers. He kept cussing into his headset whenever I picked off his passes. He started out running a fake punt on like 4th and 5, and I thought "oh boy, one of THESE guys." Then I became overly aggressive for a bit and turned the ball over a few times. I should have blown him out, but it was like 17-10. He stayed in cover 3 almost the whole game, so I was just doing counters and hitch routes all the way down the field.

I still can't get the read option to work. I hit the button to hand off and think I'm controlling Stewart, only to realize Cam still has the ball and I just ran directly into the edge rusher.

The read-option is always a disaster for me. I don't even bother calling it anymore. I only play a little against real people. The main reason I like the game is for the offline franchise mode. That's why I'm more interested in getting the roster right. I went ahead and made Byrd and then deleted him. Because he was created they wanted him to come with a contract that is certainly not what he is getting paid this year. Plus they still have the old punters and a few other moves etc.
