Roster requirements

B & B · 11-18-2003, 10:07 AM

Where can I find the positional requirements for active players in a game?
IE - 3 qbs, 3 rbs, etc.

I did spend about half an hour typing in key words such as position and requirement into the help file, along with searching this forum.

Finally found it for those interested:

Before adjusting your depth charts, you need to have a minimum number of players at each position. The minimums for each position are as follows:

Quarterback: 3
Running Back: 3
Fullback: 1
Tight End: 2
Wide Receiver: 4
Center: 2
Offensive Guard: 3
Offensive Tackle: 3
Punter: 1
Kicker: 1
Defensive End: 3
Defensive Tackle: 3 (2 if you play a 3-4 defense)
Inside Linebacker: 2 (3 if you play a 4-3 defense)
Outside Linebacker: 3
Cornerback: 4
Safety: 3

The remaining six active players may be distributed at any position.

Is FB back down to 1?

I hope/believe so. I can't say for sure though since I've been blessed with incredibly good FB talent in my current career.

That's what it says in the help file. I noticed that as well.

But that is also what it stated in the FOF4 help file. I'm guessing it's a carry-over bit of misinformation.

edit:

Maybe not, this is how it reads in FOF4, and there are actually differences:

Quarterback: 3

Running Back: 3
Fullback: 1
Tight End: 2
Wide Receiver: 4
Center: 2
Offensive Guard: 3
Offensive Tackle: 3
Punter: 1
Kicker: 1
Defensive End: 3
Defensive Tackle: 3
Linebacker: 5
Cornerback: 4
Safety: 3

The remaining five active players may be distributed at any position.

I confirm. I've playing with just 1 FB and 2 TE, and they work to fill the 5 roster spots for those 2 positions.

So, where is everyone using the remaining active roster spots? I usually have a QB, WR, ILB, OLB, DT and DE.

It depens on my needs. Normaly i dont want my star WR to return kicks and punts. But now with long-snappers, Gunners its even more importend.

For me it depends on the talent I have, the talent that's available, what secondary skills my other players have, and the expected injury frequency of the personnel.

For a normal team I carry an extra FB, WR, OLB, S, offensive lineman (G or T), and defensive lineman (DE or DT).
