Question on creating players for future drafts

[TrolleyRider]

I am about to start my franchise with Knight's rosters (I tried waiting for V2 but I can't help myself now lol). I really want to create me buddies and I in the game and put ourselves into the 2011 amateur draft. Is this possible in the game? If not, I will create us and add us to Knight's rosters but I was really hoping I would be able to create prospects and put us into the draft (similar to NCAA/Madden Football).

Can someone just if this is possible and when during my franchise I'd be given the opportunity to create and insert prospects into the draft (so I don't skip over it accidentally).

Unfortunately, not possible.
You can start a franchise and you will get more editable players on the FA list...or you can overwrite someone already on a team.

Thanks Knight. Yeah maybe I will just put us as FA's and see what happens. That really sucks that they wouldn't let you create draft prospects. At least I have something to ask for in the show 11

Just be aware...
Pre-patch....the CPU teams signed FA's off the FA list if they needed them.
Post-patch....this has been disabled for whatever reason.

I don't believe this is correct, as I have seen quite a few players signed from free agency in my franchise. No big names so far, but a ton of lower caliber players have been signed near the end of May.

So I started up a Franchise with Knight's V1 roster. I go to "Manage Rosters" and want to put my players in as FA's. However, the Free Agent list isn't available under manage rosters, only players that are already on teams. How do I edit players that are currently FA's in my Franchise?

post patch you will only see free agents signed by cpu if you have budgets off.
