When a player gains an extra half star of experience due to accumulating enough plays, does that half star appear at the end or start of the season, or can it appear anytime throughout the season? Thanks!

It's in the database a number like 44.6789. Maybe more digits.
Each game you gain a small number, like 0.2 and it's added right away.
The number is then transformed for visual purpose into those stars, with likely something like 43.0000 to 47.9999 -> 4.5 stars, 48.0000 transforms to 5.0 stars.

Would you folks rather have a 3-3-5 or a dime defense called if you knew the other team was going to throw on any down with 10 yards to go? For instance, its 3rd and 10 and you're sure they'll pass, do you want the dime or 3-3-5 called?. For the sake of this hypothetical all your players have the same level of skills and abilities. Thanks!

I'd go with the 335, but I can't give you any statistics on that, because I don't play either formation much

Any particular reason why you prefers 3-3-5 over dime in an obvious pass play?

Dime is a soft deep coverage zone and gives up lots underneath .

If it's 10 or so to go I'd go with 3-3-5.

I had the impession that 335 is a good interception formation and you can still blitz without sending all LBs to the line... just in case it actually is a run

For me the down and offensive formation are the largest factors in a defensive play selection.

If I know someone is passing, I always go with 3-DL fronts because DT/NT don't appear to do very much on passing plays. So I'd rather have an extra LB or SF (3-4-4 or 3-3-5) on the field instead of the extra DT in Dime

How do you experienced players determine who to play at DE vs DT and OLB vs MLB? From what I've been reading in guides and forum, I'm not really seeing any difference in traits needed or used in game calculations.
