Once again, the lack of medical redshirts irritates me.

2nd game of the season, Vincent Smith goes down for 8 weeks. Next game, Denard Robinson goes down for 11 weeks. They would have both been eligible for a medical redshirt, but EA doesn't want to spend 20 minutes to write 50 lines of code to implement them.

Thanks, EA!

Sucks they're not in the game, but how about just going in and editing the player's YR so they have one more year of eligibility? Seems like an easy enough workaround.

This would work? I didn't even think of that. Genius! Thanks, brah.

I'm pretty sure you can't edit their class.

Same thing happen with me, Week 1 RB Ray Graham breaks his hand and is estimated to be out 5 weeks. He ends up not coming back until Week 14. Total waste of a year.

Can you edit class? If so what are the restrictions regaurding medical red shirts (in real life, since they don't exist in game)? i'd like to do the same in my dynasty as needed.

Here are your options basically:

1. Turn injuries off.
2. Re-start the game if you have an 8 or 11 week injury.
3. Just deal with the injuries, and be like me and just keep praying they put them in NEXT year FINALLY

Seems the game does give medical redshirts sometimes. My fifth yr senior OT was injured on the first play of the season and missed the whole year (no stats), and then voila! There he was the next year, still on my roster. Weird.

Yeah I am sure that is merely a 20 minute, 50 line fix.
