I'm about 95% percent sure I had the button pressed, and I remember after the season both of their names on my roster were highlighted in purple (like they usually are when a player is set up to be redshirted). So just wondering if this is an actual bug that has happened before and can be rectified or if I just made a dumb mistake that Ill have to live with lol.

In the first couple of seasons, I tried to change the DB afterwards -- but it led to more issues. I have tried to put in place mechanisms to help people remember. Am willing to listen to additional suggestions. Steve

Two possible solutions off the top of my head. 1. make the redshirt option permanent once the button is pressed and put in a pop-up warning to let people know before they confirm 2. Make redshirting an automated process. No button presses. If a redshirt-eligible player is marked to play zero minutes in the game management screen he will be automatically redshirted.

Also redshirting changes the scholarship allotment you will have for a particular class. So therefore, I redshirted a guy this past season mainly to have 2 scholarships for his SR year available rather than 1. So I dont like the idea of eithe making it automated or irrevocable. Eligible redshirt players are marked in yellow towards the end of the season, so for me, that is reminder enough. Many players get those 5 games they can play out of the way early in the season and then redshirt them and go. I find resetting their minutes in management settings to 0 very necessary, so if the AI decides to use someone not on the depth chart for 1 minute, that blows a game. One thing to note is if you dont make tournament, those redshirt guys can play in Invitational games without blowing their redshirt.

Assumption: To ensure that a player's RS is preserved, set the player's playing time to 0 and check the RS box. Use case 1: My starter gets hurt, I need to temporarily remove the player's RS for depth Use case 2: I successfully recruit over a rostered player or my overarching recruiting profile changes; I no longer want the rostered player and want to cycle him out ASAP 2. Does this create the opposite problem: unintended redshirts are implemented? Take use case 2 above, I successfully recruit over a rostered player, I uncheck his RS box thinking this will prevent the RS but forget to assign playing time.

Make sure you keep the box checked all season and only give the guy minutes when you want him to play. If you change your mind and want him to exceed 5 games, then uncheck the box. Steve also sends out an announcement before the end of the season to make sure your redshirt selections are made. Obviously wouldn't help for any glitches but has there been any confirmation that glitches are occurring vs oversights?
