EA makes me "grrrrrrr"
so im looking in the 24 fynasty league and i goto the "promises" part to check my integrity.
I told every single player last season i wouldnt redshirt them.....AND I didnt....i only redshirted 2 players...both jrs.
now i go and there are 11 "broken" promises for the "no redshirt 1st year on campus"
WTF??
did ea automatically redshirt them because i didnt actually PLAY them?
if so, thatd be nice to know
i do notice the ones that say "kept" (as in promise kept) are guys who did actually get some playing time
Nole mad.

I suppose EA thought they would be doing you a favor by giving u an extra season with players you didn't use, but didn't take into account all factors. Bummer deal!

EA *sigh*
Re: EA makes me "grrrrrrr"
But even with this and other minor flaws, ya gotta love this online dynasty option!!! We'll never get EA to provide it for a league this big, but oh well. And I must admit, Nole's idea of a "24 hour league" (You DO have that patented, right) was a breakthrough! In the past, I would start offline dynasties and never get very far as I had no pressure to play at any pace. It's so much better to have a hard deadline to keep things moving and allow us to get multiple seasons played!!!

Re: EA makes me "grrrrrrr"
I see your point Nolie.
BUT, promising a guy no redshirt is basically promising him 1st year playing time.
I mean, if a guy gets no playint time, why wouldn't he redshirt???

Re: EA makes me "grrrrrrr"
just simply turn off cpu assistance for all that crap..that way you control recruiting, visiting, red-shrirting, cutting, etc. Of course that means you've got to be on top of your game. But it avoid that stupid shit that EA does..once time I spent all my time convincing a heisman trophy winner to stay his senior year..then the damn CPU cut him..I learn my lesson then. NO CPU ASSISTANCE!
Re: EA makes me "grrrrrrr"
Regardless of turning off CPU ASSISTANCE, if a player gets NO PLAYING TIME during a season, they are redshirted (if not previously redshirted). So if you promise to NOT REDSHIRT a player, you need to give him some clock during atleast 1 game.pounddarock wrote:just simply turn off cpu assistance for all that crap..that way you control recruiting, visiting, red-shrirting, cutting, etc. Of course that means you've got to be on top of your game.
