Just curious... seems like a gameplan would include pretty much *all* the settings for a given offense, but I don't think that's the case in FOF. Has anyone explored exactly what gets saved in a gameplan file, and what things remain in place after you load one of them? (I suspect a similar inquiry is worthwhlile on defense, too, I'm just starting on the side of that ball that is more approachable)

I'm pretty sure that all the screens are covered on a saved game plan. The one that might be a bit confusing is Game Plan - Miscellaneous Settings; that's a part of the saved Defensive Game Plan. They're saved as follows:
OFFENSE: everything on the screen from "Personnel - Formations" down to "Formation Use - Extreme Running Situations."
DEFENSE: everything from "Game Plan - Miscellanous Settings" down to "Pass Coverage - Extreme Passing Situations."

Anecdotal, and somewhat off topic, but I think the pass coverage screens are handled differently. I've ran exports for others' teams several times and noticed that when I set game plans for the first time, the pass coverage screens are not set to the default numbers, but are 'human input'. I am pretty sure all those numbers are saved and copied when you load a saved defensive game plan, it's just that they carry over differently through the commish. (And providing his hasn't been changed in 6.2)

... except for the 4-3/3-4 choice, which isn't saved with either game plan.

I know this is the case, and I thought there was something else (possibly the coverage weights) that also didn't get picked up, but definitely the 3-4/4-3 (on defense).
Thanks.
