I got the padlock when I was asked to swap my starting qb (delhomme) for the younger backup (scott) they wanted to "evaluate the youth movement". I figured delhomme was maxed out and scott had a pot of 94 plus we had made the wildcard...at least...what the heck...give the kid a good look before the end of the season and deciding to keep delhomme or not.

Big mistake!!! He was locked in...at the end of the season he had matched delhomme so I cut delhomme to save some money. But then scott was locked the whole next season. The only way I could get anyone else to play was to use the trainer to make him inactive. I couldnt get my backups any playing time. He was locked for that whole next season and the start of the following one...until I traded him because he liked throwing ints more than he liked throwing completions...

The lock can be done by coaches if they want a player to stay in a certain position or if the gm recommends you start another player and stuff. usually more control you give coaches more likely you are to see this.

That must be why I have never seen that lock before except when I agree to it because I dont give any control to my coaches. But the one time I did see it was enough...learned my lesson there.

I found this thread looking for an answer to what the padlock icon next to the player's name meant. I find that the icon does correlate to the owner asking you to bench one guy and start another (and my agreeing), but unlike others' experiences I read in this thread, I CAN change the depth chart. The icon remains next to the name, but I can put him back on second string. I even checked back after a couple of days, and the guy remained where I placed him, on 2nd string. I double-checked by going into the play creator, and confirmed that the first string guys' names were as they should be.

Anyone else notice how this works, one way or the other?

Does anyone know what the "C" with 3 stars under it means?
