Practice Squad

[SFCFeagin]

Can someone please explain how players are eligible in real life but not in the game? Is there a fix to make them eligible?

They changed the rule this year in the NFL making it 16 players...

The 16 can consist of...
Any number of players who have not accrued at least nine games in an NFL season.
Up to four players who have accrued no more than two NFL seasons.
Up to six players with no limitations on experience.

I believe Madden still simply has the rule that they need less that 2 years or less of NFL experience. I haven't checked yet but I don't even know if they expanded it again this year like they did last year.

They've had the rule that you can have a few players with more experience than 2 years for several years now, I think since COVID started, maybe even before. Super annoying that Madden still hasn't changed it in their franchise mode. Not surprising, but annoying.

Ya they haven’t changed it in a couple years even though the NFL changed it during the pandemic, I think. Whenever they update the Franchise week thing with live rosters, they usually place the actual players, no matter their year in the league, on the practice squad where they belong.

Some of these are not correct.

This is my 1st year back since maybe 99-00 & some things never change lol. I get it everyone has their way of playing the game.. I don't play online or the other game options.. just Franchise & control all teams & I am roster OCD. They add alot of pointless bells & whistles, but forget to add a realism feature? That is just puzzling & one would think a roster developer could put this on their list to fix. They patch everything else. 20 years & still have to use roster work arounds lol.

Not too mention the legacy issue of having a limit on number of free agents. The lower rated folks disappear when released into FA. So you end up having to recreate them. How this limit still exists on next gen is beyond me. It’s been an issue since PS3. It’s crazy.
