So, I've noticed after playing through a season and a half in the Be a Pro Seasons mode something that somewhat disturbs me. As the season goes on I've noticed key players from my starting 11 just seem to disappear from the squad on game day. Now, in the case of them getting a red card the previous game I understand, but it kind of just brings out another flaw in the game: In the Be a Pro Season you have no idea of the status of any of your other players. I understand that it's not manager mode and you don't have complete control over your team and can't even make lineup changes until you're the team captain, but you would figure that your player would at least know if one of his team mates was injured or suspended.

But, as I was saying, it seems like that after one of your starting 11 gets red-carded or suspended that he only rarely comes back. The only thing I can think of to explain this is that after a player gets a game suspension the CPU demotes him to the Reserve squad or something. I think this because as the season went on and my starting 11 seemed more and more scarce, I saw more and more reserves pop up on the sub bench and even in the starting line up.

Has anybody else come into this problem? I just find it a little frustrating that you have to worry about teammates getting too many cards and then getting benched by the CPU for the entire season because of one really bad game or string of games. Also, does anybody know of a way to check the status of your team mates to find out who may be injured or suspended?

I think this is a great game mode, that EA hit on a winner with this one, but these flaws I've found definitely detract from it.
