FOF2007: Defensive Personnel Screen

[SlyBelle1]

I'm probably looking at this screen wrong, but I don't see my use of defensive formations equalling 100% like the screen says it should. I even use the recommend button and it doesn't appear to add up 1o 100%. Am I missing something?

The three settings in each situation are goal-line, nickel, and dime, and then take the three blitz settings as their own set as well. They don't have to equal 100%. They just can't equal MORE than 100% for each set. In other words, if I set in Pass Defense:

Goal Line =5%
Nickel=30%
Dime=25%

The other 40% of the time, it'll just use a regular defense with no nickel or dime or goal line.

Same thing holds true for blitzing. The "empty" area is where you don't blitz.

Thanks Skydog, that makes sense.

really? try setting it to 99% goal line, 99% nickel, and 99% dime. As it stands now, they just can't equal more than 297% for each set.

Heh. I hadn't tried doing that. That would be problematic, now wouldn't it? Now that you mention it, I do recall seeing that on the list. But the point holds, in terms of how it is designed at least.

Agreed. I posted it the bug thread but the post was deleted and it's not on the bug list. Maybe that means it's taken care of, but I thought I might as well point it out again just in case.
