Can we ever expect to redshirt more than just one player? I hate that I have 11 players on my depth chart with one of my freshman getting about 2-3 mins a game in mop up duty and playing in half the games. I want the ability to redshirt whoever I want, like I could in real life.

Anyone else have issue with this or know why we're limited? It's a relatively small gripe, but near the top of my list of addons; mainly because the system is limiting what I feel like I should be in control of.

Not even sure what you mean here. But you can only redshirt one player.

My suggestion.... with press run 12 players. With Man run 11 players. With zone run 10.

With man and zone if you're still not happy with the minutes players are getting, redshirt a player. (Taking you to 10 for Man, 9 for Zone). Carrying the walkon(s) will allow extra recruiting bucks each season.

Hope that helps

I don't know how my OP was unclear... We can only redshirt one player each season currently. I'm stating that I don't like this and think we should be able to redshirt as many or as few as we want. I also am asking the community if they've heard any rumblings on adjusting the game/system to allow for multiple redshirts and if they have an issue, like I do, with being allow to redshirt only one player a season.

No where did I talk about defenses.

I think we can only redshirt 1 guy to prevent superclassing right?

I'm with you mainly BD, I think it would be nice if we could redshirt multiple guys. I feel the meta trends very strongly towards just taking walkons to hoard recruiting AP/Cash until there is a great recruit gen and then finally filling your slots, which I'm not sure is the best way for the game to be played. If we could redshirt a second guy it would certainly give those like myself who aim for 1-2 walkons each year something to think about.

"I think we can only redshirt 1 guy to prevent superclassing right?"


I think that was the logic behind the decision originally. There would be more "tanking" which probably doesn't improve game play. The MAX Redshirt (whatever the #) would become a strategy once people figured out how to maximize it.

Not broken, don't fix.

I'm probably pro 2 redshirts.

Walkons are way too overpowered in the current recruiting system, especially D1.

two redshirts would be fine - but adding this option is not in my top 100 of improvements I would hope for

Haha I know you didn't talk about defense. But you stated that you hated having 11 players and a freshman getting 2-3 minutes per game or something along those lines. So I was giving you a suggestion on how to avoid that. Since I know that redshirting 2 players is not an option and isn't going to happen. It's never been that way. This game isn't changed and tweaked very often. And as maxmet said, redshirting two players isn't likely a change that's high on the priority list of changes that would be made.
