coaching schemes ??

[trth22]

i was wondering if anyone has noticed major issues with them or if they need adjusting. also if they make any difference when you play.

I havent messed with them, I dont even know if I've been under that option yet. I'll have to look next time I play and test it.

a. Print out all 32 Teams Active Rosters as of 9/11/11
13. Go to Player Management
14. Use Printed Sheets to Delete Fake UFA Players
15. Go back to Player Management and Cut Players as follows
OFF= QB [2] RB [4] FB [1] WR [5-7] TE [2] LT [2] LG [2] C [2] RG [2] RT [2]
DEF= LE [2] RE [2] DT [3-4] LOLB [2] MLB [2] ROLB [2] CB [5-7] FS [2] SS [2]
*= K [1] P [1]
16. Go to Player Management and fix Player Pos as needed
17. ***DO NOT HIT AUTO REORDER ROSTERS***
ex. (OVR)

LOLB 82 ROLB 87
LOLB 73 ------
LOLB 64 ------

change to

LOLB 82 ROLB 87
LOLB 73 ROLB 64

this will balance out the depth charts


18. Go to Player Management and select Team Captains
WHY? Cause these are the players at the coin toss u don't want benchers out there
I normally pick my favorite players for each team.

19. Go to Player management and do all the player edits you want 8)
all personal pref here.
NOTE:You can't edit "?"/rookies/fakes till after preseason :cry: :shock:

20. Depth Chart Time 8) Even out the Depth and balance the weight
a. ex(1)

LOLB Jerry 1st ROLB Harry 1st
LOLB Barry 2nd LOLB Barry 2nd
LOLB Terry 3rd LOLB Terry 3rd

why? = Cause now these 2 players will say 2nd String and 3rd String this is important
for simulation reasons and auto sub reasons [don't forget to set your auto subs ]

POS that need to be balanced [LT,LG,RG,RT,LE,RE,LOLB,ROLB]

21.Players needed to fill req. after UFA Fakes are Cut [if you released the correct fake ones you
will have these left over don't cut real rookies
***Make sure to sign only FAs below 59 OVR so it wont effect your depth changes you just made.***

HB= TEN
T= ARZ IND GB
G= SD IND ATL SF GB OAK STL NO
C= OAK NYG
DT= ARI SD DAL MIA GB BAL HOU
FS=GB

22. Next Save File as
NFLwk1.fra <-- Save to restart season
NFL.fra <---- Season to Play
"Your Team" ex. Patriots.fra <--- Your Team's Franchise

you will basically make a league template with changes as default

23. Now Sim the Pre-Season if you wish to do so but when Pre-Season is done do not forget to edit the rookies

Print out a sheet of Rookies Names for a reference. Edit them if you wish.

Next Save File as
NFLwk1.fra <-- Save to restart season
NFL.fra <---- Season to Play
"Your Team" ex. Patriots.fra <--- Your Team's Franchise

24. Then simulate the season and look for any glitches bad stats etc.

If not move on to Pre-Season and test that as well.

If you have time Simulate the Season again on Year 2 now.

25. If there is no problems then load the file of your choice below
NFLwk1.fra <-- Save to restart season
NFL.fra <---- Season to Play
"Your Team" ex. Patriots.fra <--- Your Team's Franchise

Enjoy! You earned it probably take a good 7-15 hours or more :shock: if you really your picky , ocd , etc :P
I simmed some seasons and the stats were pretty good don't forget about coach schemes
