"Suspended" list

Though lengthy suspensions are rare in-game, if you happen to have a player end up on the wrong end of one of the storylines that dishes out a long suspension, you essentially either have to DFA him or play a man short on your active roster. That's not accurate at all. We should be given the option to place a player on the suspended list like teams often do in real life.

It depends on exactly what the nature of the suspension is. For on-the-field and related matters, the player goes on the suspended list, and the player continues to count against both the active and 40-man rosters. For a PED violation, the player goes on the restricted list; a player on this does not count against either the active or 40-man roster until reinstated. Other types of violations may land the player on the ineligible list, which operates like the restricted list.

Unfortunately, OOTP doesn't mimic the difference between the suspended and restricted lists, though it should.
