Now, they just need to fix it so other players' numbers don't change to something different if you edit them and they are on different sides of the ball.

They just need to give us the ability to duplicate numbers, we would be set! Wishfully hoping for appearance editing to be available soon as well.

Yeah it's weird how they will block numbers currently in use on that side of the ball but show numbers from the other side of the ball available like they have the full intention of allowing duplicate numbers but just can't figure out how to break the madden engine of refusing duplicates. I'm guessing they didn't want to release the number edit until they figured that out, but decided to give it to us as a work in progress because of all the complaints.

Just an FYI, you can assign duplicate numbers on offense and defense indirectly by using the jersey number manipulation trick which was discovered before this update.

My recommendation is to assign high-value numbers (0-19) to defensive players directly using the Edit Player UI, then use the indirect manipulation method to reassign offensive players' numbers until they get re-rolled on the number you want them to have.

The entire jersey number editing situation has been... obtuse, but at least we're making progress lol.

What's the manipulation trick? Apologies haven't followed this as closely since the numbers thing doesn't matter much personally to me one way or the other.

I don’t know what it is (I couldn’t care less about changing numbers before) but here’s what I do. It works if a position can be randomly assigned the desired number.

OLB and WR both want 0. OLB doesn’t get it randomly I don’t think, but I could be wrong. WR can.

I assign 0 to OLB, changes WR to 5 (it’s random, so 5 is an example).

I edit #5 defender and WR randomly gets 14.

I don’t have a 14 defender, so I take 1 guy that will be changed later and make him 14, randomly changing WR to 6.

I edit #6 defender and WR randomly gets 0 and I’m done with them.
