Good to see that they will indeed save game-to-game. Like I said in the other thread, I really hope this can pave the way for more personnel features like custom packages. Also they definitely need to find a way to make customs be available in CFM and hopefully that will be the next logical step with this.

Re: The Return of Formation Subs in Madden NFL 17
The positions being restricted kills all excitement. Sure, now I can finally change personnel groupings per formation. But I can't, without changing positions, put Randall Cobb or Ty Montgomery at RB. Or Morgan Burnett at LB. Because... Balance concerns? Both of these things are going to happen on the field this season.Comment

This may sound silly but i respect that they acknowledge this as the return of a feature and not attempt to package it as something new.Comment

Re: The Return of Formation Subs in Madden NFL 17
The position restrictions are cumbersome, but I'd rather have formation subs with restrictions than none at all.
If I were to guess, the restrictions are a philosophical holdover from the "cheese preventing" mentality of Gen 2, where everyone clamored very hard for these sorts of things (in particular, WR at TE was a big no-no that people fought hard against, and that's still in place here). Based on the comments here, however, attitudes appear to have shifted on that front.
To be clear, I'm also in the "give us more flexibility" camp, but I can understand the though process for rolling this out initially with the restrictions in place. To be honest, I expected them.
Might be worth checking also - do these restrictions match those of the depth chart and in-game formation substitutions?Comment

Re: The Return of Formation Subs in Madden NFL 17
As a work around, does the Green Bay and LA playbooks have the WR at HB package? if so, from the NCAA days just make sure not to change the HB to someone else in that formation sub and you should be able to still use the package. at this point though it's all speculation. not even sure if those packages were in for M16."Accept victory and defeat in equanimity"Comment

Re: The Return of Formation Subs in Madden NFL 17
Am I missing something?!?!?
Nevermind I see the position restrictions. Still the WR at HB is so rare it's not that big of a deal. I am one of Madden's biggest critics but you guys are tripping on this issueComment

Re: The Return of Formation Subs in Madden NFL 17
yeah cause there's not a huge advantage for it. a HB guarded by a CB is cool. a WR guarded by a LB not so much. advantage WR. same at TE. Madden does a good job of telling you personnel on the field but a lot of that strategy went out with the lack of being able to counter in Gen2/3"Accept victory and defeat in equanimity"Comment

Re: The Return of Formation Subs in Madden NFL 17
And clearly an attempt to cheese imo. What teams actually do this? Cobb does it on occasion, who else?Comment

I still would rather have unlimited flexibility myself, but again, I understand the mindset.Comment

Re: The Return of Formation Subs in Madden NFL 17
yeah i'd much rather have the option available and let the rules committee of these online CFMs handle the rest. especially since this seems to be a CFM only feature."Accept victory and defeat in equanimity"Comment
