Fatigue broken again?

No backups on defense ever played, despite Penn State running almost 30 offensive plays and having a few sustained drives. My sliders are at 80 out, 85 in, for every position but QB and OL. This is ridiculous. I haven't changed the coaching tendencies since these are Play Now games (I'm trying to come up with good sliders before jumping into Dynasty), but this is the same exact crap as previous years. I guarantee my starting RB barely plays in the 4th quarter, by the way. I'd bet my entire bank account on it. Dear EA - in football, players sub in and out fairly regularly. They do NOT get so tired after three quarters of never coming out that they just take an entire quarter off. That's not how it works.

But I played a game on 8-minute quarters with the same settings and had no issues with players getting subbed out. If you pound the ball with your running back for 5 or 6 carries in a row, he will come out, but if you are mixing up your offense, it isn't as likely. Just saying it didn't happen doesn't mean it is broken.

How come when I try to set the out to 80 it's only staying on 79' won't let me do 80-85 why?

Because you left sub in on 80. You can't sub out and sub in at the same level. Take sub out to 0, change your sub in to 85 FIRST, then crank sub out back to 80.

Updated with end of game stats...

My starting RB had 30 carries for 155 yards
Backup RB had 5 carries for 30 yards
Computer's starting RB had 25 carries for 215 yards (ouch)
Computer's backup RB had 1 carry for 3 yards. An 88 OVR got 1 carry

Keep telling me fatigue isn't broke... I'll keep showing proof that it is.

This, coupled with screwed up graphics (no field degredation, no white jersey dirtyness), and awful and quiet sound are really dragging this game down for me. The gameplay itself is fun and will keep me coming back for some time, but I'm still quite disappointed.

Use packages man. They put in a kajillion different ways for you to handle substitutions. If you don't want to use those, how is is EA's fault?
