No.

If you have it at 35 out, 65 return it goes like so:

- The starter's energy gets down to 35%. He is removed and the backup comes in.
- The backup plays while the starter rests.
- When starter's energy gets back up to 65%, he comes back into the game until it gets down to 35% again.


Just for FYI... we have been at 70/92 as the default.... Some positions are at 70/90...

Also we have it set that the Starters will play on 3rd Downs & in Red Zone D, starters play......

And if we are up by 14 points, then we rotate at a regular basis no matter what...

But I also saw this.....

if you want them to split plays, put the return number closer to the sub out number. If you want 50/50 in carries, just do something like 95/0. If you want to platoon your DT's same thing.



I found this interesting.... I am not going to do it, but I am looking for something similar that can help our back-ups...

Obviously we are deeper than 2 deep at almost every position... Which is why I wont do this... I don't want the Top 2 getting all the reps, after 40 to 50 plays no experience is gained so it would serve no purpose...

Have you seen anything from him about how much he has or hasn't tweaked the energy use during games?

[Pumchavas28]

No.... I searched the Announcements & found nothing.... :sad:

[pearland aggie93]

pum, how many teams are left to buy? if any?

[AWolf02]

I dont think any...

None....

[pearland aggie93]

have to wait till next year then?:sad:

[txags92]

They may add some mid season if they get the new servers, but I suspect they will wait for next season.

[Agnlaw]

Look at the crap that Pum has to put up with before buying a team.:laugh:

[Dustin00whoop]

Whats the point of having starters in on all 3rd downs? It seems like that would make it extremely difficult to get into any sort of a groove (especially on offense). Thats about the equivalent of Fran calling the plays on 1st & 2nd down & then making Les call 3rd downs (which did happen on quite a few occasions, btw.)

I hope they wait... because the ones they added mid-season... caused a shyt storm of newbie questions & caused a crap load of problems...

It's just on Defense....

Most Defenses play their best players on 3rd Down in real life...

If it's a critical 3rd down... (nothing against our back up LB's) but I would rather Krew, Puro, & Rock be in... Same goes for SS & FS....

At DE, DT & CB some players are interchangeable.....

The play calling does not change (as you put it), it's about player packages....

[txags92]

I can't see how new teams have any chance of competing. They ought to start each new set of leagues with all new teams in them and let them grow together instead of throwing them in with teams full of veteran players.

[txags92]

Is there any benefit to setting the defensive starters to work against the pass since they will be in on all 3rd downs? At least in the front 4 or front 7? Would that help us get off the field on 3rd downs?

That makes sense....You just never said or made it clear that it was just on D.

I'm pretty sure you have your hands full with your own player (Kerry Franks).

Wasn't he inactive for some time??? Not sure running a team would be the best option...but that's just my humble opinion.

[Pumchavas28]

I just saw a post by Bort about a Bug in the Sub Tactics....

So I sent him a PM Question along with adding to the thread on the Sub Bug....


Bort... I know you are busy, but I had this question for you about your advice on Sub In/Out %... I we are 4 & 5 deep at WR & the same goes for CB... Will that 98/99 % really work for positions like that as well???

I know you said it will work for RB's with 3... just curious if it works for positions with deeper rotations... Thanks.

It is possible for a player to recover 6 energy on the bench, depending on his stamina, what he did, and how long the play went on. If a bunch of time ran off the clock, or a timeout was called, a player can gains back more than if a little time ran off.

If you really want them to split evenly, and further down the DC, you should set the settings higher and closer, like 98/99 or so.


Bort,

Does that 98/99 really help with rotating players who are 3rd or possibly 4th on your depth chart????

Say like at WR & CB where most teams run 4 or 5 deep... some run 6 or 7 deep...

Just curious...

Since the Head Guy says that the 98/99 sub in/out setting will work for RB's... I will use it for RB's, FB's, TE's, OT, G, C & DE Both Safety Spots since those go 3 deep at each position.....

If he says that it will work for Positions with deeper #'s, (WR, CB, LB, DT will follow suit.

Just trying to help everyone out... I don't want there to be another incident where players aren't getting any Playing Time like they should be... :gig:

[txags92]

Be careful...one of the things that could cause is a big mismatch early in a game. if our opponent is running a more traditional # like 75/95, then he will have his starters in for most of the 1st quarter. If we have ours set to 98/99, we could end up with our third string in the game by the 3rd or 4th play of the first drive. At some positions that isn't much of a dropoff, but at others we could wind up with a lvl 8 playing a lvl 14.

Which is Why I only listed RB's, FB's, TE's, OT, G, C & DE....

Maybe I should hold off at Center since there is a bit of drop in Lvl between #1 & #2... but for the other Positions... There is little to no drop in talent at those positions at all.... I think most of them are in a position where the #1 & #2 are almost equal....

But I get what your saying, and we can hold off on the other positions until we see how our Deeper Positions do....

[txags92]

I am fine with experimenting with it, but be careful because it won't just result in 1s and 2s playing equally, it will result in 3s and 4s playing too. In positions like you have listed where all the depth is equally talented, I am fine with it, but be careful with positions like WR, CB, etc.
