I May Have Found A Good Solution For a 1-Team Franchise.

Re: I May Have Found A Good Solution For a 1-Team Franchise.

So i am a little lost. On the other teams, how do you determine who the UDFA's are?

Or you can look at the player details under awards and it should say entered league as undrafted free agent.

Re: I May Have Found A Good Solution For a 1-Team Franchise.

Alright, so I thought that I would also do this. Took some time but it sure the hell worked.

Changed all the UDFA to punters, kickers, or quarterbacks. End of preseason game 4, no UDFA's were left on the rosters.

Simmed through season 1 and through offseason and none of those fakes were anywhere to be found.

The one thing I do suggest though is that if you still want to play through preseason that you do the changes to the UDFA's I highly suggest turning injuries off.

For example: Say you change one of the Dolphin UDFA's to a QB and one of the 3 QB's on the Fin's roster gets hurt seriously and ends up on IR, they will end up keeping the fake UDFA to fill the extra roster space.

Also, it took me a total time of about a hour to do all the changes.

Actually for those who want the injuries all you can do is just change the position of the UDFA to another postion that is set already so the CPU wont keep him there.

Before Week 1

So basically extended rosters for preseason are nearly non-existent then in this scenario? or are you saying before you advance to the regular season

sounds to me like it would just be quicker and easier to control all 32 teams and manually cut their UDFAs, which is what im currently doing. the offseason takes a good 3 hours hahah. THANKS, EA!!!!!!

I'm not qualified to provide specifics but if i had to venture a guess it would be probably anytime in the preseason...I personally would do it before week 1 knowing that they're not gunna be on the roster regardless

It is pretty ridiculous that we should even have to fix this ourselves. EA should just acknowledge that this IS an issue, and put in a quick fix. Even if it's just revealing the real ratings to the CPU.

Yeah do all the moves on Pre-season week 1 and just sim thought it all after. It would be easier i guess doing the full 32 but for those who just reallllly want to control only 1 team then this is the method.

Does this also prevent teams from cutting their 1st round picks??

Didn't know this was an issue?...

This is a HUGE issue

Re: I May Have Found A Good Solution For a 1-Team Franchise.

So the big problem for everybody is the UDFA.

Speak for yourself. I have no problems with the UDFAs.

Some are fake, but so what? How many UDFAs actually go on to be starters in the NFL? Not many.

They're usually the guys who are first to get cut in the off-season.

For many of us, the problem isn't that the UDFA's are fake, but rather that they are being kept around in favor of much better players who are Vets or early round picks that would never be cut in the NFL. The chain of events is that they are then thrown into FA for us to sign as the CPU never touches them. After that - b/c of the problem with FA and the limit of players, they are just removed from the game eventually.

There are plenty of rosters that people have posted after simming through a couple years where UDFA's are all over the lineups of a couple teams instead of these Vet FAs being signed.

I don't mind having fake players in the game, I always play with generated drafts. The problems that result from these UDFA's being kept around however - those are the ones I feel need to be avoided.

You could always leave 5 or so for each team and see if they make it through the cuts.

Even if you don't touch the UDFA's, the majority don't get resigned by the end of the year so it really doesn't matter if you get rid of them all or not.

out these UDFA Demarcus Dobbs and Ian Williams made the team for the niners !! not all UDFA in the game are fake !!!

I could of done this, I just didn't feel like going through and see what position a team was set at. Setting off injuries were fine with me if it ment the fake UDFA's were gone.

It's pretty sad when I was going through and some of the UDFA's are 90+ overalls. One of them even being a 99

[bigdunks4eva]

before I started my franchise I filled each teams roster with scrubs from the free agency. so while the accuracy of my rosters is off when it comes to third stringers, there are no fake udfa's around at all
