Coming Back to Play FOF.

[claystone]

It's been awhile since playing FOF, so i have a couple of questions.

1. I like to rotate me D-Lineman more during the game, but it seems no matter what i place "Playing Time" at, it continues to keep starters in 85 to 90% of the time. Does the game not follow "Playing Time" for defensive players? RB i have no problem with, it's just defense players.


2. Does the CPU AI offer trades to you by email?


3. Has anyone had a player shot up in ratings? ie: let's say i had a player 25/35. Is there a possiblity that in 3-5 years he can become 75/85?

Thanks for the help guys.

I don't know about the defensive rotations I usually keep my guys in 80-100% of the time anyway. An interesting note tho: if you have your nickel/dime personnel in, it seems the game doesn't check for endurance. So the player listed as a starter on your nickel/dime screen will play ALL of those plays, so even if they only play 50% of the base formation plays, they'll end up playing way more than 50% of the total plays.

Yes, the CPU will offer you trades by email, and they are almost never worth accepting.

Yes, players can creep up in ratings over time. The bars you see on your player information screen are not always the players real bars. Some players will have hidden (or "masked") bars. This masking goes away as the player gains experience, and by the time the player has full XP (the position square is red) you will see their true ratings.
