RB just disappearing from the game?

[HBKSean216]

Does anyone else experience games where a skilled position player will just stop coming on the field? It has happened a few times with my RBs. I start Judkins and Henderson is my powerback and 3rd down back. Last night midway through the 2nd quarter Henderson had 4 carries and then I never saw him again. I didn't realize it until Judkins got hurt in the 3rd quarter and was going to be out until the 4th. My 3rd string RB came in and then when he got tired the 4th string came in. Henderson wasn't hurt. When I tried to choose a play based on player, it didn't show any of the RBs as an option. I went to my depth chart and tried to swap Henderson from 2 to 1 on the RB depth chart but it just said "you can't start a player twice".

Couple of thoughts:

• If you are playing with Wear and Tear enabled, check the player's health on his player card. I believe this is mapped to the right stick while viewing the player in the depth chart. I don't think a player can be pulled from the game due to Wear and Tear, but I admittedly not sure. Maybe this is what happened?
• If you have increased Fatigue and Auto Subs sliders, you probably need to reduce one of the two. Historically there are issues in EA Sports football games with players getting too tired on higher fatigue settings and never recovering their stamina back above an elevated Sub In slider value, which means they disappear from the game forever.

It’s the latter. I’ve had the same issue a couple times. It’s the good ol’ disappearing RB Madden problem. Which, sadly, means this is definitely just the Madden code and not ‘ground up’ like some touted.

It happens same as on madden. Gotta love the frostbite engine.

Wrong. I have fatigue on 100. And I see subs all game long and in the 4th quarter. It's likely wear and tear. I've seen LB's, CB's and others sit a possession or two to recoup.

Yeah it’s happened to me, running back coming out of the half with no wear and tear didn’t play the entire 3rd quarter so I ended up restarting.

No, it’s not. Has more to do with auto subs than fatigue, far as I can tell. But I’ve had guys who have zero wear and tear or any injuries just disappear for the entire game in the second quarter because I had back to back scores of 70+ yards with them. This problem has been in Madden for years.

It's not the frostbite engine. It's the general coding, because this was an issue in NCAA 14.
