First question: Why do college freshman always start playing at age 19 or even 20? I mean in real life not every freshman gets red shirted some guys play as true freshman especially at inferior programs or schools who aren't the best in the nation. It has always bothered me cause when they are ready to get drafted they are 23 or 24 years old when they should be drafted at ages 20-22.
Second question: Why do RBs decline so much BEFORE the age of 30? You know how many elite RBs have had amazing seasons at age 27-29 man I cant even count on my fingers.
Ok now heres my ideas. There should be new formations added to the game. For example, the pistol multiple I-form sets 4 and 5 receiver sets and the 3-3-5. Also make the 3-4 be available for use in game. I know its alot but if you can do it Chris you should give it a shot cause it would vastly improve the game WE ALL LOVE! P.s. please bring back the tackle stats
:rolleyes: :(

not nearly as many as have imploded around the same age, which is the answer to you question.

I also agree with the way the declines work now. The vast majority if guys are finished by 28-29, I think this one is working well.

There is no intentional red-shirting going on; the bottom player age should be 18 for incoming freshmen. I'll take a look at it.

Formations are certainly coming, but there are a lot of structural things I have to address. The way things are set up now requires a big chunk of code to be added for new formations and parts of the game already push certain internal code size limits, so I have to break things up and modularize them more. This process has already begun but it's time consuming as it requires a lot of testing.There is no intentional red-shirting going on; the bottom player age should be 18 for incoming freshmen. I'll take a look at it.

Oh when will that be done that sounds neat! And unless 90% of kids in America starts graduating at 19 years old something definitely has to change cause the plays should start at 18 and rare kids start at 19-20

I looked at the code... most freshmen should be 18, with 5%of them being 19. Why they are coming out older is a bug, don't know how it's gone on this long without being noticed.

// Create freshmen
for(int i=0;i<(round1Players+round2Players);i++) {
int age=18;
if(this.rnd.nextInt(100)<=5) age++;

Nice catch Stu!

Actually I think I already have found the problem, but since everything has been tuned for so long with the bug in it I have to look for possible domino effects with all of the new ages suddenly shifting down a year.

Anything can be fixed if I stare at it long enough. :)Actually I think I already have found the problem, but since everything has been tuned for so long with the bug in it I have to look for possible domino effects with all of the new ages suddenly shifting down a year.

Oh I remember the big question I wanted to ask. How come on week 17 most teams are scheduled to play random teams instead of teams in our own division like the nfl does these days?(also AC south is playing AC north for third or fourth straight year in zeta scheduling errors) lol I'm not complaining please don't take it the wrong way I just like seeing the game at it's best.
