Summarize your bug In Offline franchise mode, instead of my starting 1st string running back playing, for some reason, another non-running back player will start and play. For example, I have Kareem hunt as my string running back and he is healthy. The game starts out playing Jason McCourty as the starting running back. The game will also place as running back the backup QB, Eli Manning, my starting Tight end, nick Boyle, and one of the linebackers. This issue also happens with the tight end position.

Madden 20 playing wrong players

  • This happened to me the other day when I was trying to create a runningback that switched to QB. This can be for a couple of reasons;

    1. Stamina.

    Players have stamina when they play games. If you have a player that is starting and do not take them out for a few minutes, then it is completely possible that you will be starting with your backups the next game.

    2. Preseason

    Is this the preseason? If it is the preseason then the AI coaches automatically start the rookies in the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th quarters.

    3. Overall

    It could also be that the players that are automatically starting actually have a higher overall with your regular ones. There is a way to change this I believe in the league or team settings.
