GAMEPLAY
* The user is not allowed to switch players while ball is in the air on offense or defense. You may not select the catch type. Wideouts will play to their style this way.
* On defense you will control one player throughout the whole play. That means you cannot switch to another player to make the tackle. This rule is to make defenses use their playbooks and call plays to stop specific types of offensive styles.
* On special teams you may switch once to get off the kicker. after that you must stay on that player for the duration of the play.
* No manually moving players on defense. You must use man align etc. except for the player your are controlling can be moved if he is not blitzing or on the line. For instance a SS in the flat coverage can be moved into box to help cover the run. If you move a player u must stay on that player.

* You may only hot route up to 2 players. Do NOT hot route your whole team. If you see a mismatch it is okay to audible to a play u think will beat the defense. No reason for multiple audibling. If you pick a play and hot route every wr that is excessive and won't be allowed.
