Ok, I know about the run/aggressive run bug, and this isn't it. I just played my second pre-season game in AUFL and had something strange happen. Now, granted, I am just now getting to the point where I am thinking more and more about the gameplan so I haven't looked at the logs this closely so this may be happening more than I realize, but I'd like to know why it's doing this and if I am missing a gameplan setting.

Ok, so I have under both the run and aggressive run columns 0 for nickel and dime in both outside the red zone and in the red zone. However, twice in the first drive alone I get nickel personnel on a run defense:

Dallas: Single-Back formation with four receivers, strength is left. The defense is in a 34 with nickel personnel and 2-deep bump-and-run coverage, expecting the run.
3-2-DEN36 (1Q: 12:59) Bruce Harper ran outside the right tackle for 5 yards. Tackled by OLB Charles Baker, assisted by ILB Eddie Johnson. Key block delivered by Tunch Ilkin.

Dallas: Single-Back formation with four receivers, strength is right. The defense is in a 34 with nickel personnel and 2-deep man-to-man coverage, expecting the run.
2-1-DEN22 (1Q: 11:42) Danny White pass completed to WR Henry Marshall for 21 yards. The receiver went out of bounds. Tackled by S Ken Schroy. Marshall gained 13 yards after the catch.

So... why is my defense playing the nickel while expecting the run?

FOF automatically uses nickel or dime against 4WR and 5WR sets.

Ah, that makes sense. Thanks!

Damn, I thought it was only against 5WR sets it did that.... learn something new everyday.
