I have literally a half dozen KR/PR on my team.
I need this explained.
I mean, I understand we're testing and all, but to not have the option to select those guys - AND THEN - to lose a game by 3, mainly because of my KR/PR performance?
Some of those guys are on the roster just to keep Street FAs from handling that stuff.
That will upset anyone who puts any time or effort in the game.
*This is not specific bitching, just giving feedback on frustration caused by certain elements of the gameplay. ( It was stated that the programming chooses the best KR/PR on your roster, but did not in this case.)

Of all the players that return punts or kicks in the NFL in a given year, only a few of them return enough kicks to have something that could be considered a large enough sample size to treat as representative. Those returners that have a sufficient number of returns, are included in the database by name, and you get the specific stats of that player. I take all of the other players who have returned a smaller number of punts or kicks and lump them together and generate statistics that represent "any old joe" on your roster that might be pressed into service returning kicks or punts. Those are the stats that are used for "free agent".
Of the players you listed, none of them returned more than 9 punts or kicks the entire year, so they're NFL team didn't exactly view them as difference makers in the return game. So the program basically determined that they were examples of "any old joe" and put one of them back there (unnamed) to return the kick/punt.
