CC Roster management

[gjneff]

How does the roster handle different player types? Say I'm a power running team, but I want a scat back 3rd down back. Are those scat backs not going to want to be on my team even though they are exactly what I need for that role? And what about WR and D lineman. Most teams want different types of players for the different slots in the same position group. (slot receiver/big redzone target) or (pass rushing RE/run stopping LE) Is it always going to be harder to fill out both sides with quality players?


I know there are 9000 draft players. Are there 30 preset classes, or are 300 or so players pulled from the 9000 to make a class?

I think I read something about being able to choose a preference for each position with being able to differentiate it for depth chart position. For example: RB1 style, RB2 style, WR1 style, WR2 style, etc. Im not sure how deep it goes though

From Shopmaster's blog:
"So I had a talk with Donnie Greenfield today and he explained to me the amount of possibilities for branching storylines, classes, player names. There is a 1 in 1000 chance you will have the same class as another league."

So it seems like it should be random, but it also sounds like there's a lot of variables in place so that even a draft class that looks the same may turn out different.

Thanks for replying, both good news which is few and far between for me this year.

Does anyone know if they have, or have thought about, updating the outdated depth chart they use? We should have a more NFL like depth chart with X, Y, Z receivers and nickel corner vs outside corner and nose tackle vs 3 tech and so on. Also need a place for short yardage back and 3rd down pass rushers. Would be a lot better to just set it in the depth chart then always flipping through sub packages that don't have all the packages that I need.
