Fixing broken formation subs?

If you don’t reset formation subs at the end of the season, it glitches and you’re capped with a certain amount each year. Does anybody know any way to fix this?

Re: Fixing broken formation subs?

I've heard to clear them but it doesn't work for me. If anyone posts a solution I hope you will be descriptive lol. Because I have tried a few things now.

Re: Fixing broken formation subs?

I haven't experimented with formation subs in a while. Have you tried temporarily switching your playbook to one that doesn't include the affected formations? My first instinct would be to switch playbooks, hit reset formation subs under new playbook a couple of times, and then switch back. I have no idea if this will work, just wondering if you guys have tried it.

Only players who were seniors (or delcare to draft or transfer to another school) automatically are removed from formation subs. Players who remain in your school, stay put in formation subs.

Therefore you might only get limited amount of subs. I always reset all formation subs before new season, after redshirting players and setting depth chart.

Going to try your suggestions today. only set significant subs for like my first two years, and it's been stuck at 48 out of 50 ever since. No additional slots open up, I clear it time and time again. I'm going to try what you mentioned there, sometime tonight and I'll report back.

Re: Fixing broken formation subs?

Had the same problem in NCAA '11 where my subs were capped. No idea how, but when I got to year 11 of my dynasty, the problem suddenly vanished.

I would say that I usually stop doing them with 2 or 3 "emergency spots" left each season, so maybe that has something to do with it?

Or, maybe it could be playbook related. I used the Syracuse playbook for the first 9 or so years of the dynasty. I changed playbooks at the start of year 11.
