no, most of them had 95% or more PC. So you lose ALL CREDIBILITY for making assumptions when you could have easily looked at my players PC and got your facts right.


As far as I'm aware you can't check the PC for another teams players without scouting....

Re my earlier post you are able to control team selection that's why I said it wasn't an immediate priority. I do agree with you that it could be improved however

edit: I mean first team selection - not substitutes.

I understand that there is an issue with wanting to stop what has been used as an exploit in other games, but really there has to be a way to do that while having more control of the DC.

For instance: having to list a bunch of guys at Kicker or Punter and then click the 'don't sub' button for K and P so that you will have injury backups at various positions that only play if the starters goes down to injury is silly. It works, but it's silly.

Clearly the DC could be improved.

Edit: iirc pete already has plans to address the injury backup issue but don't recall for certain...

Everyone understands or understood what you were saying, it's the way you said it that got people out of it.
It's not the first time someone suggests a improved Depth Chart, it has been aknowledge that a new solution is needed, maybe Pete can read your suggestion while ignoring some needless coments and find something worth rescuing from it, meanwhile we have to work with what we get.

Again I didn't say you had low PC.... I believe the substitution rule is based on "in game energy level" PC plays a part in that but it is not everything. I have a very deep depth chart and rotate close to the full 55 players allowed. I believe this give an advantage towards the end of the game as my players are fresher so to speak.
I have no interest in wasting time scouting someone else players

Probably some kind of tag in DC like "only play if someone is injured" would be nice for every position, but i understand that is something low on the to-do list.

Here you guys can take a read of this thread it's a suggestion of a new Depth Chart.

At that point it didn't seem like Pete was much into it, but that might of changed.

The thread is very similar to my idea of how to improve the DC. But it doesnt address the substition problem.
I think the substition problem could be fairly easily solved by adding a simple box/list into the DC. In the box/list you put the players you do not want to subbed and you could do this by simply dragging the players into it. This would allow your top players to stay on the field while allowing your average players to be rotated.

I do apologise for some of my ranting, I was a bit at the way i lost my opening fixture due to the DC system/substitution process.

It is on my todo to allow players marked as "substitute during injury only and subst back once injury is fixed"...but there are downsides with such settings, it just exploitable. Therefore I have to limit these markers by position. And this means if I have 1 QB on the field, I cannot allow marking all other QBs in the DC like described above...

the other option is to take away the game setting/playbook option to choose left/right centre completely and introduce a full position depth chart...
