What are the workarounds?

That one is really bugging me. They will put in your number 1 WR to play corner or nickel for the 2nd or 3rd team, even if you have 6-7 CB's to choose from.

In year 2 it started happening in the regular season. Week 3 vs the Jets (I was the bills) - santonio holmes played DB, they also made Steve Johnson play DB for a play.

That was when we had formations audibles in the pause menu. That was in PS2 and Sega Genesis, but we don't have it in the year 2011. That's unacceptable, and it's why this genre desperately needs competition.

That was seven years ago. I tend to give games more slack if they came out in 2004. The fact that we can't choose who we want to cover kickoffs at this stage of the game is ridiculous, but things that bother one person won't necessarily bother the next.

To each his own !

You can sub in specific formations. Just go to the playcalling screen and click the right bumper on your controller. I did this on my field goal formation in my Chargers franchise by subbing out the backup QB for Mike Scifres, the punter who's the usual place holder.

I ran a an INT back 102 yards for a TD in the 4th quarter of the 4th preseason game... with Dwayne Bowe.

We can, but I mean how many work-arounds are they expecting us to make to be able to play this game?
