Yes to both. There is a formation sub menu in the playcall screen you can use for quick subs. You can change uniforms in season/franchise as well. I can't for the life of me recall what freakin button it is though...lol. If you look at the bottom of the team select screen it should say " Press (whatever button it is) for more options" or something to that effect. The uniform select is under that. Hope that jumble helps some...lol

Can you do any other formation subs other than the quick subs at the playcall screen? For example in previous versions you could change your #1 WR to the slot position in one formation, yet still have him in the wide-out position in all other formations. As far as I know we cannot do this in 09', but maybe I've missed something? the only way I have been able to move a WR to the slot position is make him my #3 WR ....

You can sub out specific players for specific plays by pressing Y if you are playing on the 360. You press the Y button at the playcall screen and select the receivers you want to switch out.

So if I sub my #1 WR into the slot position for one particular play, will he remain as the slot receiver every time I call that play?

Thanks

No problem.

Actually, my mistake, the change you make will effect the entire formation, not just that one play.

For instance, you change receiver A for receiver C in the Singleback Big formation. Receiver C will be in place of receiver A for all of the Singleback Big plays.

OK Great. One more question, does that change stay in effect for future games or do you need to make that change at the beginning of each game?

Thanks again!
