I dont know if its just me, but in my 4th year I cant edit any players at all. The only thing I can edit is basic info. I really wanted to change up equipments and some traits for my players and CPU

Stupid question (maybe) - but is it because you're in the preseason?Originally Posted by illwill10
Im not anymore and its still not available.
Then I have no idea, sorry!
It might affect my decisions in the future. I planned on switching teams once I won 2 rings. But, I wouldve to edit certain players.
Haven't really been documenting much here, but I wanted to share the draft picks I've acquired through a number of player and pick trades. Basically, I've traded away a few lower rated CBs, as I now have two 85+ rated CBs thanks to the last draft.
Anyway, I have the following:
2013 (current season) - 2 2nd rounders, 2 3rd rounders, 1 pick in 4, 5, 6 & 7.
2014 - 2 1st rounders, 3 2nd rounders, 2 3rd rounders, 1 pick in 4, 5, 6 & 7.
I sacrificed this years first round pick as I've started the season at 3-0 (with #1 HB McFadden and #1 LT Veldheer out for 1 or 2 more weeks), so don't see too many huge needs right now. The team is rated 83/84 without those two big players, so I figured I'll just continue to stockpile picks, probably trading some more next year for 2015 picks...etc. 11 picks in 2014 seems excessive, although I do have a few open spots on the depth chart.
What would you guys do in this situation? Try and trade back into the first round? Try and pick up a player or two for picks (if possible)?
Any picks after the mid second round will most likely be C to F range. If you can get some good depth players and move a few picks for them, I think that would be the best way to go.
Game 1 of 4th season
Wash 52 Cards 17
We started on fire. With a extremely weak secondary(besides PP), I was able to pass for 355 yards and 5 TDs(no INTs). Dez Bryant and McNeal had 4 rec 100+ yards and 2 TDs each all on 1 side(cards #2 CB is 75 OVR and had 87 speed). OL looks improved, but still gave up 5 sacks. Cards offense didnt go off until late, for a reason. I was able shut down their RB early. But, I wasnt able to shut down Kevin Kolb on the ground at all. 8 carries and 92 yards. This was the 1st time I had a QB had that cause much damage. One bad note was this game was plagued early with a few costly injuries. I lost Holliday(I still managed to get 100+ yars rushing with him) and CB for the game early in the 1st. Then I lost my rookie Nickel CB for 4 weeks. I had WRs in at CB spot. I only have 3 active CBs. I forgot I lost 1 for the year. I might pick another CB or 2 up.
I face Cowboys next. I plan on making Cowboys regret letting Dez go. I just signed him for a 6 year deal. My QB and top 2 WRs are on Hot Streaks going against another weak CB group, no CB over 80

Game 2
Wash 34(2-0) Dallas 20(1-1)
The score doesnt tell the whole story. This was a tough fought battle. Dallas played me tight the whole game. I was expecting to torch their secondary, but my passing game got shut down, but I did have big plays. My Rb Holliday had a great game. 17 carries 150 yards and 1 TD. He wouldve had 87 yards if I didnt score on a 63 yard TD under 1 min in game. I shut Dallas run game down. Beside Miles Austin(on Hot streak), I shut down Dallas WRs completely. They really miss Dez Bryant. I cant wait till I face a slow QB. It looks I will have problems against QBs over 70 speed.
Next game against Titans.
Game 3
Tenn 23(1-2) Wash 62(3-0)
When it rains it pours. This was a game for RBs. Both my RB and Chris Johnson had over 200 yards rushing and 2+ TD each. PAssing game was good too. Both QBs passed over 66+%. Locker had 94 yards rushing. I shut down their WRs. The thing that decided this game was Tenn had 5 costly turnovers inside their 50, I scored on each. I have to do something to stop scrambling QBs.
I face GB(3-1) next. This will be a tough battle. Last 2 times I faced them they beat me easily. But, my players improved since then. I get my Nickel CB back, so I can matchup with GB WRs. All their starting LBs are on Hot Streaks. Starks is on a Hot Streak.
l am thinking about switching teams in the offseason if I win the SuperBowl. I usually restart after I win anyway. If I do, I will go to the team who is in the top-5, dome, QB needy, and a 4-3 D. I am tired of rain games. I built a great team for the Skins in 4 seasons. I dont have any needs, I filled needs for the future already beside Center. So, I am already thinking about of another team. I currently have 4 A POT MLBs, Im thinking about making sure 1 of them is available for my new team. 1st draft for new team will be offense-heavy, QB, HB, 2 WRs.
Since it is early in season and I dont really know how other team's situation are right now, I think the team I am really considering Colts or maybe 49ers. I think Peyton, and Wayne are close to retiring(if they havent already).

Game 4
GB 16 Skins 41
Great win to stay undefeated and get revenge for 2 blowouts from them last year.. GB 2 TOs hurted them early. I scored off a INT RET TD. I was able to get 5 sacks against Rodgers. 2 INTs for Rodgers. I was able to shut him and the pass game down. 13-36 168 1 TD. None of the WRs had more than 2 Catches. Run game was good, but was down the whole game. Offense was great. QB Kelly had 20-31 305 3 TD 1 INT. My Run game picked up late. 16 carries and 110 yards and 1 TD. A ton of injuries occured in that game. I lost my Best pass rusher for 2 weeks.
I face a 1-4 Gmen next.

Eagles and Skins are both 4-0. But, Eagles have Carson Palmer at QB. Mike Vick is at 49ers. Colts are looking like my future team. Peyton is 38, Wayne is getting old, they have Gore at RB. But even if Peyton retires, I dont think they win end in top 10. There is a top-5 QB I want to start a franchise with. Whatever team I goes to cannot be affected by the rain-glitch bug. I hate having rain games 80% of the time.
Game 5
Skins(5-0) 54 Gmen(1-5) 3
My defense just completely shut everything down and made Eli's day horrible. 4 INTs(1 for TD) and 6 sacks. Eli only had 139 yards. No WR had over 3 catches. Run game wasnt bad. They had 7 3 and outs, and gave me short fields. QB Kelly 78% of his passes for 278 yards. My RB Holliday had 220 yards and 4 TDs. I finally got sacks from my OLBs. Orakpo had 1 and Kerrigan had 3.
Next game against 3-3 Texans. AJ and Shaub is declining but 2-4 WRs in that offense has at least 95+ speed.
Going into my second year of offline fantasy but im thinking of restarting. I do have a question...can you turn off Cap Penalties or at least Clear them? I remember their used to be a way to clear them but i dont know if its in this version...
Game 6
Texans 7 Wash(6-0) 20
Im still undefeated. I was a tough fought game. No mistakes/TOs from any of the teams. I was able to win the TOP battle. My best WR McNeal keeps getting injuried. Holliday had 21 carries 121 yards 1 TD. I was able to shut down their passing game. AJ only had 2 catches for 19 yards. Matt Shaub got injuried in the 3rd. Backup actually did better than him. Shut down Foster to 57 yards.
Next game against 49ers(2-4) with Vick as their QB. I got back my Best player on team(I wasnt gonna get him in the draft, but I dont regret it). But I lost my starting MLB for 3 weeks. But, I have great depth at MLB.
Game 7
49ers 24 SKins 31(7-0)
Early mistakes by Vick helped me stay undefeated. But he and a generated WR helped them stay close. Vick was on a Hot Streak. He completed 18-22 298 yards 2 INTs. His WR had 200 yards on my defense. I shut down their run game. It was the opposite for my offense. They shut down my pass game, but I was able to get plays when I needed it. My RB was shut down first half, but managed to get 125+ yards in the 2nd half(most in the 4th).
Next game against Giants(3-5). My starting CBs are on Cold Streaks. Nicks, Amukmara, Bradshaw are on Hot Streaks
Game 8
Giants(3-6) 10 Wash(8-0) 34
Great game in the early first half, but my defense shut them done completely in the 2nd. My offense was shutdown in the 2nd too, only 6 points. Both run games were shut down, funny because both of our backs were on Hotstreaks. My rb had 90 yards, but most of them came when I was stat-padding. Eli was doing good, but my CBs were locking done their WRs, none had over 4 rec. My QB Kelly and WR McNeal had a great game. Kelly had 16-28 324 yards and 4 TDS. Com % wouldve been better but the were 7 combined drops/pass Def. McNeal was finally able to withstand a entire game. He had 7 Rec 147 yards and 3 TDs.
I face Jags(4-4) next. I had a VERY EASY schedule so far. Only one of the teams I faced are over .500 and that is Cards(Packers are 3-5). My next 5 games have 3 teams at least .500. I have a great chance of have 12+ wins this year.
After 8 games my stats are:
QB Kelly- 2109 yards(T-3rd), 21(51 career)TDs(1st), 6 INTs, 131.4 QB Rat(1st) 22 Sacks(T-2nd), 65% COM)(1st).
RB Holliday- 1241 yards(1st), 14 TDs(1st), and 6.5 YPC(1st), 10 20+ Runs(1st).
WRs- McNeal- 31 Rec, 743 Yards(2nd, missed a lot of time), and 9 TD(3rd), 7.1 YAC(1st). Dez Bryant- 29 REC 535 yards(17th), and 8 TDs(4th), 6.4 YAC(2nd).
Defense
FS Bailey- 41 TAKs and 6 Pass Def
SS Landry- 41 TAKs 1 Sack, 6 TFL, 1 IN Ts, 4 DEFL, and 3 FFs, 1 TD
Orakpo- 31 Taks, 11 TFL(T-1st), 3 Sacks, 1 INT
MLB Jimmerson- 26 TAks, 7 TFL, 2 sacks, 5 INTs(T-1st), 2 TDs
CB Roberts- 29 Taks 5 INTs(T-1st), 9 DEFL(2nd), 2 TDs
CB Lewis- 26 Taks, 3 Ints, 5 DEF
OLB Kerrigan 8 TFls and 4 SAcks
DE Pearson 5 Sacks and 11 TFL(T-1st, missed half of games)
DT CoField- 6 Sacks, and 10 TFL
2nd best Total O, 4th best Pass Yards, 1st in Rush, 1st in PPG, 9th worst in 1st down. T-6th in 3rd %,1st in RZ att, 10th worst in RZ Off %. Best TO DIff(+14)
10th best Total D, 5th best Pass D, 9th worst Rush D, 2nd best Opp PPG, 1st in sacks(39), 1st in INTs(19), T-10th best in D RZ Att, Worst DEF% in RZ. 22 Takeaways.
It looks like I am having major improvements on my team from last year. Kelly went from 13 INTs last midseason to 6 this year, 30 Sacks to 22 Sacks, 100 QB rating to 131, 55% Com to 65%. Holliday stayed healthy, DeZ Bryant was a huge add. 16th in Passing to 4th in passing, 6th in Rushing to 1st in rushing. 31st in TO Diff to 1st. Defense improved from 32th to 10th, Pass D 19th to 5th, 32th in Rush to 21st.
I am on pace for a great year and a SB.
Pro Bowl candidates: QB Kelly, RB Holliday, WR McNeal and Dez, DE Pearson, DT Cofield, MLB Jimmerson, CBs Roberts and Lewis, SS Landry, and K Henery.
Award hopefuls: Holliday and Kelly for MVP and OPOY(Both 1st and 2nd). Jimmerson and Roberts for DPOY(2nd and 3rd). Holliday for Best RB. McNeal(5th in MVP and OPOY for NFC) and Dez for Best WR(2nd and 5th). Jimmerson for Best LB(2nd). DE Pearson is 4th in Best DL. Roberts and Lewis for Best DB (both are 2nd and 3rd for DPOY for NFC). Henery for Best Kicker(2nd). CB Barnett is 5th for DROY in NFC. T.Williams and Austin for Best OL in NFC. Funny is that QB Kelly isnt on NFC or NFL for Best QB of year. 8-0 really helps alot of players.

Finally got a game in tonight after a week off. My team is rebuilt and my D is AMAZING. In game one versus San Diego I won 45-3 and held the Chargers to 157 total offense. The star of the game... wait for it... Jason Campbell who went 19-24 for 317 yards and three TD's!!! My trades and first round draft picks played awesome and my new DT (3RD overall pick) was in the backfield all day. Mathews was limited to 68 yards and Rivers was sacked seven times. Bring on game two!!!
