Something I wish NCAA 12 would have, but won't

I wish the Redshirt option was fixed. The choice to redshirt a player should come after week 3, not before the season. I also wish they'd add medical redshirts.

This happened to me last night. My Senior WR, who has never been redshirted, broke his collarbone in week 1; he's out 11 weeks. Since I can't choose to redshirt him, his playing days are over.

I've never seen this mentioned on this board before and thought it might get a few responses

I'd love medical redshirts. It comes up every now and then on the forums.

My Idaho RB got hurt like 10 times is one season. Injuries in this game are busted

While we're talking about injuries, how bout bringing back the injury slider?

Just like formation subs last year, i think medical redshirts will be in this year because i have heard it mentioned more than a few times on the board. I think their will probably be a blog mentioning all the small additions like their was last year as well with formation subs and half sacks.

Doing something as simple as adding this (medical redshirt) and expanding the roster sizes to real size would make dynasty so much better.

Its a complete and utter joke that medical redshirts are not in this game yet. Its simple programming. Injury? Yes or no. Did it keep player out of a certain percentage of season? Greater than this amount or less. If greater, medical redshirt granted. EA should be able to have a damn intern program this feature.

And no redshirt should not be in week 3. If injury is not involved, a player cannot redshirt if he plays 1 down. Thats all it takes 1 down. Redshirt option is fine where it is.

I'm curious how redshirting works in real life in terms of when a player can be declared one. If you are half way into the season and see a guy hasn't played at all, in RL can the coach slap the redshirt tag on him? I realize the game will auto-redshirt a guy who hasn't played all season, but it'd be nice to make a guy a redshirt at any point in the season (assuming he hasn't played a down of course) so that he doesn't inadvertently get put into the lineup by the computer autosubbing or whatnot.

Oh and I think the way the game works is the player loses his redshirt status only if he accumulates any stats. So he could play a few downs but if he doesn't make a tackle or get the ball he's still a redshirt.
