Could numbers be included in the Depth Chart? Right now I'm not sure if the order (from top to bottom) sets who plays when or if the checkbox that says set player as first string. So I guess my first request would be for that to be answered.

To explain my request for numbers, I will use the depth chart that is used in Madden games. I'm sure many of you have played the game, and know how the depth chart works. Depending on the position, the depth chart is numbered somewhere between 1-3 and 1-6, the numbers representing what the order of the position is. 1 is 1st string (or #1, for CBs and WRs), 2 is 2nd string, and so on. Would it be possible to incorporate that into this game? If it is already set up like that, the numbers would make it much clearer.

One more thing. I would like the offensive and defensive lines, as well as the OLB positions, to include an option for left and right. Instead of just OT, add RT and LT (right and left tackles). That would also include right and left guard, right and left end, and right and left OLB. It would make the depth chart much easier to complete.

Numbering is already available. Just click on the 00 against the player and you get a scroll bar of numbers 00-99

I don't think he ment jersey numbers. As far as I know the first one goes to left in ofans. First OT left second OT right. In defense first DT right second left. I've read in manuel I guess but I'm not sure.
No number in dept chart but 1st one is first string. Also there was something about the order of positions. Let's say you have a guy listed number 1 both for NT and MLB. He will play NT. It's somewhere in the manuel I believe

I like the idea of specifying right or left for DE etc. currently if your #1 DE is injured for a few plays, your DE 2nd on the depth chart will go up to 1st choice whether left or right. I'd like a separate position in the depth chart for DEL, DER etc if that were possible in the future at some point.

This would be helpful for reasons already stated. It could also lead to have experience at that specific position(e.g. Inside LB as opposed to Outside etc.) thus giving more diversity to players and making them a little different from each other.

You are right, Captain Jack! I like the idea of experience playing a bigger role in the game.
