What happens to cut players?

I'm really tired of this "make it a real challenge" crap. You're supposed to recruit the best possible guys you can to field the best team you can.

The CPU saddles you with walk-ons anyway, and while you might have a great LG now, you might not in 3 years.

I didn't say to recruit inferior players. I said not to sign 20 guys (or 10 guys or 5 guys) that you're going to cut anyway.

I only needed 4 position players, FB, 2 WR and a P. But the CPU ended up adding like 8 QB and **** load of WR and TE, decently rated but not enough to cut my original players already.

i recruit the best players i can find every year, ideally getting all 25 players that i wanted. if i only end up with 20 i wont add 5 inferior 3 or 2 stars just because, but if i can get 25 5 stars i would every year.

And i let everyone go through training, if any frosh i just recruited is as good (or almost as good as) a soph, than that dudes getting cut. I frequently will cut Seniors if they aren't significantly better than my juniors.

at a certain point this game like any other won't actually be challenging, so i like to recruit against myself to put together the best group of 70 i can, and see how much i can outdo myself.

That sounds incredibly boring just beating the AI by 70 every game because you take advantage of the poor AI logic. To each their own.

I have a rule - No cutting players. I can only recruit the # of players that I have potential roster spots available for.

It is too easy to build your team quickly if you over-recruit and cut weak links year after year. I guess to some people, that's fun.

To each their own indeed.

It's basically how I play too. To each their own; I just set the difficulty high enough that I get a challenge anyway. It doesn't make that much of a difference really in the end; the difference between a 95 and an 80 isn't nearly as big as it is in Madden, which is part of the problem in the first place.

True story: my friend in college would always offer scholarships, and if the guy didn't instacommit he would quit and reload till they did. He is also the guy that looks up madden draft classes. Sounds boring as can be to me, but I'm never going to judge someone on how they play a single player game.
