Q: I know how to create a player, but I can't seem to be able to use my created player in Franchise mode. Maybe I'm an idiot, but how do you do that?
A: You can use a created player is at the end of each franchise season.
Q: I'm sure I'm missing something obvious, but I can't figure out how to trade picks. I'm in the trading screen after post-season, and I just can't seem to figure it out. How is it done?
A: At the top of the screen, next to the teams you'll see the word Players. Move your arrow over there (down on the D-pad) and flip it to Picks by pushing right or left on the D-pad.
