Its broken bc there is no real rating for long snapping and those true long snappers who may be 3rs te’s are rated in the 40s, so the cpu sees them as worthless and cuts them.

i agree 100% i can play a FB in the slot receiver position and make a hof hope that they can instill some cpu ai to go with it.It would really make it play great.

A lot of peoples, including me, are just happy we'll see situational subs with out having to manually input them.

Questions on Twitter:

Will CPU utilize Specialist Positions:

Answer from Kane:

Yes the CPU should fill correctly

It probably didn't happen, but while they were adding these new positions to the depth chart I hope that they adjusted the criteria for determining who the CPU puts back as their KRs or PR. Seeing someone like Julio Jones, or Zeke Elliott back there is bothersome.

I would like to know more specifically how it will work, if I add a rush DT will they play every time i call a nickel type defense?like even on 1st and 10? Will it be used in a situational way? Dont know if these have already been answered, hope they get answered soon.

Thats what I want to know.

I can see it canceling out Formation subs. I hope it is situational. I rather it happen on certain situations than everytime
Because if you think about it, how often are you in your base defense. Especially against AI. Computer runs a 3 WR set most of the game. I wouldn't want my sub LB in the whole game.
