Won't let my created player play in games.
I created a defensive left end in franchise mode. When the game starts I keep getting the Sim page and I have to keep hitting "continue". Or if it does go to the game, it is from the side view and my...

Community ManagerDid you create a player for a "Player" Franchise? If that's the case the computer will call the shots and if the coach decides the ball is going your way that is when you'll have a shot. If you're a rookie you won't have as many opportunities until you prove yourself.
If you want to create a player and have them on your roster full time when you play all sides of the ball, you'll want to start a Coach or Owner franchise and make sure you upload the custom roster with the created player on it when the Franchise is asking you to use a custom or NFL roster.
Hope that clears up any confusion.
- @EA_Blueberry Not exactly what is going on but thanks for the reply. The game only does this on any player I create for the defensive line. It doesn't do it for any player created for another position.
I've got a video of exactly what is going on but it's too big to send to them. I compressed it down but the quality is not very good. I can't find an email address anywhere to send it to them nor would I know who to send it too. I've pretty much waved the white flag and figure it's probably not ever going to be resolved. Thanks for you help anyway.
- @artdog71 If you want to provide a recording/video, you could also upload it somewhere else (e.g. on youtube) and provide the link here. I'm using youtube but change the settings to "not listed" to avoid that my videos can be found via searches (e.g. google, etc.) if I want to report a bug, for instance.
I hope that the issue will be solved for you. good luck!- @Neo_Novalis Wow what a great idea! I never thought of that. I'm definitely going to try it. Thank you so much.

Are you playing a Player, Coach, or Owner Franchise though? A Player Franchise vs. a Coach/Owner has a significant difference on the way you play that mode.

- @EA_Blueberry Hey I uploaded a video to YouTube so you can see what is going on. It is easier than trying to describe it. Only problem is it's not very good quality because YouTube wouldn't upload it till I really compressed it down. Hopefully this will get to someone who can fix it. By the way, the YouTube idea is GENIUS! Here is the link: https://youtu.be/C9meIm0n0ME
