5th Year Players

[AZJAZ]

What options will we have with 5th year players. Can we either tell them to come back or not to come back, or will they automatically come back?

[Arlie Rahn]

If a player redshirts, he will return for his fifth season (unless he goes pro).

[QUOTE=Arlie Rahn]If a player redshirts, he will return for his fifth season (unless he goes pro).[/QUOTE] Is that to infer that 'randomly' some player may forego parts of their college career? ;)

[AZJAZ]

I am pretty sure it was stated before that players will go pro, but I could be wrong :confused:

I would hope you have the ability to talk them into staying.

[Tiger Fan]

Also be nice to have a game option where athletes must complete 4 years of school before turning pro for those of us who prefer to base our leagues in a bygone era.

^^agreed^^

are there transfers? drop-outs?

[Scott Vibert]

Arlie has mentioned a transfer stage to the offseason, so I'd assume there are transfers.

5th year eligibility Any chance there will be a medical redshirt at all? Also curious if transfers will lose a year of eligibility Rich

On the transfers note, it would be great if you had the ability to recruit JUCO players. You could see how high they were ranked amongst JUCO recruits, and while it would "cost less" to recruit them...and they would be more developed, you would only have them for 1, 2, or 3 years depending on their transfer year.

Juco's should absolutely be more ready to play than high-school players but the potential talent alot less. That's one thing that's stupid about EA's NCAA, the juco's are about the same as the freshman so there is no incentive to go after them. In BBCF, if you are weak at a position and need immediate help you should be able to try and find that in juco's.
