I just got home from vacation and my copy of NCAA 14 was waiting at the front door. I've been messing around with UNC's roster & depth chart, trying to get their 4-2-5 defense right with the proposed Fall depth chart.

Because EA only has the game set up to handle working out of 4-3 or 3-4 base defense, I had to do a little tweaking to the get the right players in the right places in the depth chart. Basically, you've got the LE and two DTs. The RE is the 'Bandit' or hybrid linebacker. The two MLBs in the 4-2-5 are the starting MLB and ROLB. The other backer, or 'Ram', is actually pulled from the SS position on the depth chart. So the 1st SS is your RAM and the 2nd SS is the actual SS.

This seems to be correct upon testing, but if anyone else who has experience running this is dynasty, please verify. Has anyone had much success running the 4-2-5 in dynasty mode?
