Load your franchise in game and release any player to the free agents then go to the free agents and edit that player ...... equipment, etc and then navigate away from the free agents and then back and they should all be there......


Are you saying do this in the NZA Editor? "Load your Franchise in Game" ?
I have Free Agents that are showing up in the NZA Editor but not in the game

Hello RevanFan, I'm in week one in my second year.
My issue was related to not having cleaned out the Practice Squad, which I've done now and I'm in the process of making sure no Free Agents have Contracts.

So you've fixed it?


No, not fixed yet, I have Free Agents that show up in the Editor and not in the game. I now have 450 Free Agents listed in the Editor and all have no Contracts and no game crashes.

"Load franchise in-game" means just that. Open up Madden (the "Game" that you are "in"), and load your franchise.

That's how you would normally start a game right?
How can I release a player to Free Agents if he's not showing up in the game?

Could you do me a favor? Could you check the number of players in your franchise using both NZA Editor and DBEditor.


I can see Players in the Editor but they don't show up in the game.

So apparently if you don't delete the Practice Squad before the next season begins you are screwed.

Correct. I use the Practice Squad for players that are on IR and bring them back after the ProBowl but before the offseason.

I'm now seeing 809 Free Agents in the NZA Editor and not that may in the game itself and If I move a Free Agent to a Team that Free Agent is not showing up on the Team in the Game. Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.

You have to use the DBEditor 3.0 too. The number of players in the PLAY table are the one that shows up ingame.
