In real life that wouldn't happen... and in Reality if something happened where a guy ends up not being available for whatever reason, the team has the ability to go out and sign someone else.. Can't do that here.
You're happy someone else didn't do their homework on a player so you want them to suffer. You're trolling, not trying to get the league\game to a better place.

You had to
sign him before he showed up on the 'manage roster' screen. You already committed to three years to this guy before you bothered to even check his availability for week 1. I have no earthly idea what compelled you to do so.
And you're right, I want to see players punished for not doing their homework. I want a
realistic gameplay and in the NFL, you're going to pay for leaving a gaping hole in your lineup because you didn't bother to research it.
Again, we already have guys that are running a 47-48 man roster because they're not worried about their depth situations. That's
wholly unrealistic. Hell, adding any kind of player from FA in-season and getting a halfway competent performance from that player is completely unrealistic as they generally have no idea what offense/defense or otherwise they're coming into.
NFL teams dance with who brought them and they are rewarded for doing their due dilligence
before the season started.
That's what I want. But please, explain to me how it's a more realistic experience to allow teams in sandbox to choose from one of over
400 surplus NFL roster players that are available because we use 24 teams instead of 32.
The answer is simple - it's not. If an NFL team is forced to go to the street during the season, they get the equivalent of Sandbox's "street free agent". In real life, the player that NFL teams "have a chance to go sign" is essentially the real world equivalent of the Street Free Agent that sandbox is going to give you. You're not going to get to choose from 400 legitimate NFL caliber players that are sitting in the FA pool due to only having 24 teams.
This system is far more realistic than the one you're proposing
and it encourages owners to be smart in their pre-season planning and preparation.
