WHY CAN'T WE CUT PLAYERS IN DYNASTY MODE WITH THIS BROKEN GAME?!?!
You do realize that this is an ACTUAL part of College Football, right?! I mean, you have the best team that are the best fans that LOVE College Football, RIGHT?!
Give me a break. Such a mess.
I agree with your statement. They essentially took "Cut Players" and turned it into "Encourage to Transfer", however, both options should be available. We should be able to both cut some players and then encourage some to transfer. It was cool though to see players I had encouraged to transfer ACTUALLY transfer and I'd see them on another team. That was neat, but yeah we should be able to cut certain players too.
Yes, it’s bizarre how they set this up. They have now the encourage transfer thing only one moment per season but it’s after the transfer portal which means the players you cut just disappear. And the other teams the players just transfer before. Totally random
I've encouraged certain players to transfer and have seen them on other teams
NCAA regulations say you can cancel/reduce a player's scholarship for one of four reasons: player voluntarily quitting, engaging in serious misconduct, providing false information, or suffering from a disabling injury.
In this game, only the last scenario is truly realistic in terms of what could be introduced into the game to allow a coach to "cut" a player and have them lose their scholarship. Coaches can "cut" players for other reasons in real life, but they can only lose their scholarship for one of the four reasons above, and in the end, it is all about those 85 scholarships. Just as I would not expect EA to build in a bunch of storyline logic to allow a coach to legitimately cut a player because, say, they got a DUI, I also do not expect them to build in advanced logic that allows more than 85 players on a team (walk-on's) that are getting the scholarship funded by NIL. That would take WAY more logic than is feasible with each team having varying capabilities of doing this (and it would be nearly impossible to accurately guestimate these amounts).
Encourage to transfer is more than sufficient for proper roster management, if you monitory your eligibilities by position, recruit well, and utilize the transfer portal to fill in gaps as needed.
True, but if EA allows coaches to simply "cut" players, they would also need to implement a penalty/reputation mechanism for those coaches which would make it harder to receive commitments. If we wan this to be real life, can't just have it half way.
At least in the B1G, scholarships are a four-year guarantee:
Exactly - each offer is different depending the athlete, school and conference. To allow a blanket rule to cut players without repercussions would not be realistic.
Why aren’t we allowed to cut any non freshman or transfer? Like I signed a kicker and punter and it won’t let me cut the two they’d replace and like that in other spots.
