The idea (and the need) came out while I was preparing the depth chart for QB position.
I found myself with two QBs injured in a recent game and the engine selected a random player to play as QB, with obvious (negative) results.
In the real life, the situation will be handled with the coach choosing the emergency backup player, in RZA the engine acts with a RNG roll (as far as I understand).

I propose to have a depth chart like the one described in the following example :
- QB1 (first string)
- QB2 (second string)
- non-QB player(s), already in Depth Chart, with some vision-positioning-passing skill, as backup for desperate situations.

If I choose the two positional QB as "first string" they will share plays and time, which requires two players with comparable skills and experience in order to minimize the substitution drawback, which is not always possible.
If I choose first string for QB1, QB2 and non-QBs would share plays and time, which is the weakest alternative, when you are already in trouble with your leading player out.

+1

especially if injuries increase having more options to influence the order of substitution would be great

This is not right, if I understood your post the right way. RNG is the last resort. Before the engine goes random, it tries to match an emergency backup by Depth Chart, and if not possible it goes for the roster position. If this fails, RNG kicks in.

I was checking the options, and found I cannot do that at the moment. Sorry.

Nevermind. Anyway I'd like to let you know that the trial and even the thought was appreciated.
