What mods/roster were you using? Did you make any edits yourself using an external editor?

Do the usual troubleshooting.

1. Check to make sure no teams have more than 55 players.
2. Check to make sure all teams meet the minimum position requirements.
3. Check to make sure all players are under contract.
4. Auto-reorder all depth charts for crashing teams.

There is a chance that rogerjinx's roster might not work with training camp yet. If that's the case, it'll be up to him to fix it. But, go through the checklist I gave you just in case the issue is on your end.

Added a link to EA's FTP servers for the 4.0 patch.

Updated the links to Microsoft's .NET Framework. Removed 2.0 (included in 3.5), 4.5.2, and 4.6.2. Added 3.5 SP1, 4.5, and 4.7.

The link for madden 4.0 patch is dead. Any idea where I can get it? I just bought the game off Amazon DL and it is 1.0.

No its not. It's working perfectly fine. It takes you to EA's FTP server. I just tested it now.

That is odd. I have tried numerous times, including just now, and I always get "can't reach page" Msg after it tries for a while.

Since I have you, So if I try to run calhoupe's script using Amazon DL will it mess anything up if it doesn't work?

Also McAfee is giving me a virus warning for Calhoupe's 1.58. (disregard, I re-read this:
This file will sometimes trigger a virus detection. You may need to disable your virus protection to download the file and/or add an exception to your antivirus program. Cheat Engine trainers hook into memory similar to some malware so if your antivirus gets excited consider it a false positive and move on.


So I guess what I am asking is: If I try to run the script is it just a matter of it won't work or it will, or by running it and it doesn't work will my game be messed up?

A quick fix to that may be just doing an auto reorder of your depth chart then making whatever changes you normally would. I know that fixed my issue with superstar crashing after I'd sim a preseason game.
