Auto Subs

Every year EA seems to chang the way fatigue progresses during a game and these sliders have to be adjusted slightly based on that years game.

I found that 75/85 works well for Running backs. On long drives you'll see your back up come in and play more than just one play, my last game he had 12 carries. I still need to find different settings for the rest, PM's from last year are close but there is some definite tweaking needed.

Assigning certain RBs to certain formations that best suit their skill sets seem like the best way to do it until they get auto-subs fixed. Anything above 85 and the starter wont return. It happens on 85 sometimes too. Better D-Line rotation is also needed.

This is the exact same thing I do and when the 4th quarter comes, no issues. Last year, worked most of the time, but did have times where my wide receiver was playing a db on defense.

My last game I saw no issues with my current setting so looks like I'm going to stick with 75/85 for running backs.

I'm in the 3rd quarter now and I can't get my starter back in no matter what I change the settings to. Any ideas?

After they go out, theyre out. Nothing you can do other than start another game with different settings.

Which is a sign it's seriously broken. Sitting on the bench should eliminate fatigue. I guess I'll try the 75/85 posted in this thread and see if I can get the backup some carries.

If that were true then athletes wouldnt need days/weeks off. If I set my sliders to 80/95 at some point he won't get back to 95 and is "pulled"

If you look at ANY backs stats they don't run every down every series the complete game, so I find that the setting of 80-95 seems more realistic as I have 2 or 3 backs with 15-10-6 carries at the end of the game.

One other solution was to keep it closer to 75-85 but setup substitutions based on formations to spread it out more.

So, to just control it via formations, what sub setting are you guys using? I'm all for doing it that way, I just want to make sure my starter doesn't disappear again.
