The excel sheets are also very usable and exactly what I'm looking for. Total credit to you and the others that put it together!

The problem you are going to run into is the same one I did. I took Timeetyo's violations system that cut players in the off-season and implemented I a cool system that would suspend a player from 1-6 week and even get him cut. The problem is there is no way to "suspend" him. I originally planned to lower his ratings for that time so he dropped down the depth chart. Problem is even when they dropped to a 40 overall the CPU still started and played them the whole game.

the next idea was to lower their stamina to 0 or 1 so they never saw the field. I tried this over the course of 6 weeks and it never impacted QB's and had a very minimal impact on the other players.

There is a way to edit the CPU depth charts but you need to create a new coach, take the team over, and make the changes. The downside is this wipes out all of the coaches skill points. So if someone on Alabama was suspended and you created a new coach they lose Saban and everything he has built.

Yeah, this is why I go with a heavy handed NCAA mentality - you mess up - career over. /oops

I have resorted to your original idea like that too. Crossing my fingers something in the patch will allow a "suspension" system, buuuuuttttttt not holding my breathe.

I am also leaning towards the cut and not suspend tactic. Edit the player(s) affected so they are down to a pretty low overall. Based on the suggestions in your other thread about promotion relegations, the best time to do these edited changes are either straight after the final bowl game, or after the last pre season game before you roll it over to week 1.

Correct?
