Formation subs not included AGAIN!!

[jhoff80]

I don't mind the way the substitutions are now even with the timer, but sometimes there's no logic to who it lets me put in a position and doesn't let me put in a position. For example, I can't decide that I want to put (LOLB) Quinton Coples in as the MLB in the 1-3-7 Quarter formation with the DE pass rush package, but it lets me put in LOLB Calvin Pace and LOLB Garrett McIntyre.

I dont know about 25, but I dont like how in recent versions, theyve also taken away the ability to put a WR in the "FB" position in the shotgun, two back set. You can put a HB, FB or TE, but not a WR. Teams line up certain wideouts like Harvin or Cobb in the backfield in these situations IRL, and I used to do it in Madden all the time to get guys open in space in certain situations, but it prevents you from doing it now.

The place that this bothers me the most is on special teams. Not having the ability to save the subs that are made means that on every kickoff, kickoff return and on punt kicks and coverage, I have to go through the depth chart and maneuver things that way. Wish it wasn't removed from the game.

This has to be one of the most frustrating oversights in the game. What a joke.

hc06 let you do this, madden 08 on pc let you do this, think hc09 let you. ncaa13/14 lets you. all outside of the game.

i want backups doing special teams, i want both my FBs in my Full House, i want my RE not LE in 1-4-6, my best SS ZCV atb the conventional SS spot in 2-3-6 not in the box.

and these change with personnel. some years id want my 2nd FS in Quarter 3 Deep, other times my 2nd SS depends who better at ZCV, PRC etc

i then manage fatigue knowing who is in when, especially backup oline/TE for PATs etc

I guess there aren't very many NCAA players in here or they would know that there are guys online who have exploited the formation subs to disconnect and glitch the game intentionally. It started happening in Madden too.

What do you mean by this?

Is this something they can patch in the game for only offline use?
