I think the point he's trying to get to is having his 3 starting WR's rotating (so only having 3 in DC) but still have 2 as backups to choose. If he puts all 5 in DC all will be substituted. If he deactivates Subs for WR only to 2 of the 3 he wants to play are on the field most of the time.


Ah I see now. Good luck trying to write that in Pete

Bad example, but I know what you mean hosh.

Try thinking in injuries. You have 4 WRs on your DC to cover every possible offense formation. One of your WRs get injured and now on a S4WR formation the 4th WR will be a completely random player from your roster.

I don't like the suggestion though. Maintaining a second list of players is overkill when you already have your DC there. Just put your TEs in your WR DC and you'll have no problem with injuries. No TEs wasted either since a S4WR formation doesn't use TEs.

Maybe you could add a little check-box in the DC, so you can mark players that only jump in if there is no other possible sub in that position?

But as I remeber to have read a similar topic, this might be more difficult to add than it sounds.

While I agree I want more control over substitutions and the depth chart, imo this doesn't seem like the best way to do it.


For sure. But this is probably a decent and easy thing in the mean time.

I expected someone to have thrown the darkwing argument in by now. To which I would say anyone determined to do that can simply keep their roster to 55 or less and accomplish same anyway.

Just so we're all on the same page here, the game right now decides randomly who the players are that make up your 55 man roster for a game if your DC has less than 55 players in it.

So all that is being asked here is for this chore to be taken away from the game/computer and given to us.

Then maybe I interpreted a little to much.
The choice is yours by simply adding 55 players to the chart.

Were all on the same page but you can get around this many ways not ideal but better than nothing.

Click dont subsitute
Lower the % for the substitution
Would picking your backup WRs as KRs help? I think it would but not entirely certain.

well I think I know where this guy is coming from.

As plenty of depth but only has 50-52 on the depth chart and wishes for the PC not to auto fill the remain spots. Unless there was sever injuries

I'll help this guy out by saying that my depth chart I want to run. Only has 49 players. Because I do not use HB, TE, Gunner,or KR. And it did cost me a game we I spotted a line backer play O line and a WR playing CB



So now Why I already had 11 OL , 9 LB,3 FB, and 6 WR I have to up all of them to prevent this from happen . With player not ready by my standards to play yet. to 13 OL ,11LB ,4 FB,and 7WR

Yes - this would result in the same effect.

So the idea is that I might have 3 very good CBs or WRs that I want in the primary rotation and then I only want to call on the other "backup" CBs and WRs as formations/injuries demand.
