    I guess my star defensive player doesn't feel like playing anymore

    Entering year 2 of Dolphins franchise and I changed to a 4-3 defense from a 3-4, moving Cam Wake to DE (I couldn't actually change him because he will lose his pass rusher role, weak). He is still rolb, but on depth chart he is at de. Played first preseason game and can't get him on the field. The only formation he is in is the punt return, no other formations and not in the available subs. At least I got to see him announced in the spectacular field entrance. This is mind bottling

    That's really crazy. Did you try resigning him?

      Where is he on your linbeback depth chart? I think for you to get him to play DE you are gonna have to change him to DE and just deal with losing the role (when is this getting patched btw EA?!).

            If you do move him and he loses the role, if he has a good year getting sacks, Wake would get the role again in the offseason

                It's possible he was holding out, but I personally haven't seen real "hold-outs" since the PS2/Xbox days of the game.

                  Yes he was holding out. This issue has been in Madden for years now

                    You could formation sub him.

                    But do holdouts actually happen in this year's game??? I know they happened on last gen, I didn't think they happened this gen.

                      If he is holding out then why was he in on special teams? It's more like, a "holdout" than an actual holdout. A bug that is rectified by re-signing him. EA gets something authentic in the game, and its unintentional. Go figure.

                        no holdout.. i imagine that will be another "new" feature they add when other companies can start making football games again.

                          I'm convinced that 'holdouts' were never actually removed from the game, just the interface.

                            I find this mind-bottling as well, boggling even.

                            Have you tried to sign a FA cheap to provide depth and then move him? I do that all the time.
                            Don't look back too long and don't look too far ahead.

                              Holdouts? Really guys, you're giving EA waaaay too much credit. This problem happened to a friend of mine. He used formation subs on almost every player and package. Formation subs don't reset if the player who was been subbed in is still on the team. Once he leaves it'll revert back to normal for that particular sub. If you subbed the entire D on various packages then you're either going to have to purge your team or just use formation subs exclusively to put the players you want back in. Hopefully this fixes your problem.
