Love the changes made, but question on Gunner's on Special Teams

[Jay_AB81]

So, I love that EA added 7 new special spots, like Slot CB, WR, Rush RE, LE, SUB LB, etc.... But I wish there was a way to set Gunners as anyone, like for the 49ers they don't always use DBs, like sometimes use WRs and RBs, is there a way and I'm just not seeing it.

Sorry if already answered.

You change the gunners using formation subs, but you can only use DB's. Each special teams position pulls players from a certain position group and you can only sub players within that group. I wish we could have total freedom for setting up our special teams, but you're locked into only subbing players within the same position group. This is especially frustrating for kickoffs since we haven't had the option for formation subs for these for years and I'd much rather have my depth defensive guys getting some tackles instead of my FB and WR's. You have a tiny bit of freedom by manipulating your depth chart to get certain guys in, but once again you can't sub across position groups.

I ended up switching Matthew Slater to FS so he could play special teams. Makes absolutely no sense that the most prolific special teamer in the past decade can't normally play there, but at least it's fixable.

In Franchise you can position swap, sub them in, then swap back but it only works for punt/fg/punt safe/punt block. FG Block and Return normal as far as I can tell are still gitched
