Which formation on defense reflects the nickel?

Nickel I would define as: 4 DLine, 2 LB and 5 DBs (3 CBs and 2 S).


And is it correct that you can´t throw short passes to your RB? So a RB with a high catching skill is not recommended?


A RB can also be a pass receiver but it's a low percentage of passes he gets. I don't know if it makes a difference if he has a high Pos and Agi.

Nickel I think I heard is not in this because for balance reasons.

In regards of play-book. If it is not a play in it for a specific option during the game, the engine will take the instructions from the Standard orders set for the game in the game options. Am I right? So potentially I could have a play-book with just one play for specific situations and build it from it?

Many thanks in advance.

How experience influence players is well documented, but what does it do with coaches despite having effect on the wage?

Hi,
I scouted a player with a level 20 scout. It showed no capp yellow or red. But when I bought this player there was a red cap for speed and strenght.

Are physciall skill caps not shown?

Thanks

That is correct, caps are not shown in scout reports (or on the Transfer Market)

No physical caps are not shown. If the player comes from another team, as opposed to Free Agency, your best bet is to send a message to the manager and ask. Be aware some managers will lie! The only time you are guaranteed to be uncapped is if the physical skills are under 30.

I feel your pain!

My personal belief is that all caps should be shown on scouting reports, as not showing them can only help dishonest managers. Everyone else would benefit. Also it would encourage the scouting of many more players.

I have raised this with Lord Peter in the past but he sees it differently to me.
