Hello there. I like the current substitutions system.

But I would like it to be a little bit more advanced. Here is an easy example:

I have 8 equally good OL and LB players and would like to rotate them from the start, therefore I would tic "Based on Fitness / Energy only".

The rest of my team has got much better starters than substitutes, and I would like my starters to play at least the first half, therefore I would tic something like "until quarter 3 starts".

Dilemma. I can only press either the one or the other button.
I would rather like to set up each position individually. Is that possible?

Adding the option "set positions individually" besides the current "how to handle substitutions" choices.

Advances set up would look like this:

QB - x "based on energy fitness only"
x "don't substitute until X quarter starts"
WR- x "based on energy fitness only"
x "don't substitute until X quarter starts"
HB - x "based on erergy fitness only"
x "don't substitute until X quarter starts"
etc.

Which could be solved by keeping the current system, but enabling choosing the suggested system the same way you choose HR.

I am all for this in terms of the basic concept.

But the present options are almost useless imo.

You can either have a player in the rotation - or not.

The only way to spell your "starters" is to not allow subs until the 4th qtr which introduces the hilarious situation of playing the business end of a game with backups.

We need a practical way to spell starters in the middle of games.

And then we can talk about it being position specific.
