*Xbox One* Practice Squad Glitch

@mastersteak88 

Practice Squad players can be signed by other teams per the NFL rules.

The NFL allows practice squad players to be signed by other teams, but there are some rules governing the process:

• Players cannot be signed directly from one practice squad to another. They either have to be released first or added to the active 53-man team.
• Practice squad players are not allowed to sign with upcoming opponents, unless done so a minimum of six days before the two teams’ game (10 if the team is on a bye).
• If a practice squad player is signed by another team, he receives a guaranteed three-week salary and will count against the 53-man roster for at least three weeks — even if released before those three weeks are over.

I know how the practice squads in game and in reality work, but there's something amiss here.

Every game week for the past 2 game weeks, I've had exactly 9 of my 12 players taken from me, and nobody else's practice squads are being touched. I'm basically in a never ending circle of needing to sign 9 practice guys, just for them to get taken when I advance to the next week.

That doesn't even happen in the actual NFL.

@EA_Blueberry

I have my doubts that's what's happening. It seems a bit far fetched since it's only my practice squad losing players, and losing them at a high capacity every single week.

I have checked the rosters those players went to, and they aren't replacing anyone, they're just backups to a full healthy depth chart.

One of my players was a 57 overall QB, and he was picked up by a team who had 3 better QBs than him all still healthy.

I don't know what's going on, but I'm pretty sure it's a bug.

@EA_Blueberry The same thing is happening to me on PS4.

I'm having the same issue, and there aren't a multitude of injuries. Teams are literally cutting players who have a better overall rating just to sign players off my practice squad. This is not occurring with any other teams practice squads only mine.

The exact same thing is happening to me on PS4. Each of the last two weeks I’ve had exactly 9 players signed from my practice squad. 

4 of the 18 were already released by the teams that signed them. 

I know the original post was a while ago. 

this is super glitchy- What’s the fix from EA’s perspective? 

I know that this is a less interesting solution because it takes away from the interesting idea of practice squad stealing, but the issue never stopped for me, even after restarting my whole franchise after title updates came and went, but I had to turn off practice squad stealing.

Like I said, I know it's an immersion killer, and not how it should have to be done, but that's the only way I can see that being fixed.
