not every formation, special teams remain untouched.

I do not understand why people are so uptight about this, especially when every formation has a wide variety of package options, which is WAY more realistic. You see college football teams lining up in the same basic formation with different personnel in different locations all of the time. This is done to exploit match-ups and keep the defense guessing.

Well what about the fact that packages only allow for the 2nd spot on your depth chart. What about the fact that I may have 3 or even 4 RB that I want to use. Meanwhile in the I formation that are 4-6 variations of the formation (3-wide, twins, 2 TE, etc.) and I would like to put one of my 3rd or 4th running backs into one of those formations. Now I havoe to pause the game and go in and alter the depth chart, just for that. Then when I want my #1 RB in the game I have to pause it again and put him back in the depth chart.

Or I have a freshmen QB that is more of a runner than passer (Think Tebow's 1st year) I only want him to handle the ball in shot-gun 2 TE formations, because that is primarily my option formation. But I don't want him as my #2 QB because his throwing isn't good enough yet, and my #2 QB is a better overall player. What do I do? More pauses and shuffling of the depth chart? Fine, I could do that, now add to that that I'm playing agaisnt someone in an online dynasty game, are they suppose to just sit around while I'm fooling with my depth chart every few plays?

The biggest thing I miss from formation subs was the ability to find snaps for backup linebackers and DL in certain packages. If I had a few good DEs, I'd have run stopping and pass rushing roles and rotate them in certain formations. Is it cheese to put my backup pass rushing 85 DE in the nickel and dime while my 86 rated run stopping DE plays in the 4-3 and goalline? Some guys like to control who plays in the special teams formations. Rotating in backs can be offset with the packages but they don't handle every situation. Formation subs can be used to cheese by people but most people here wouldn't do that AND it's also EA's responsibility to build in some basic football sense so that people don't put WRs in at QB or TE without penalties.

Almost exactly what I was going to say

Great minds think alike. Can you imagine if we were designing this game??? Wow!!!

I think the whole reason behind the no formation sub thing is due to "cheeseing" crap.

If they do there job then it wouldnt be a problem.

They should disable formation subs in ranked matches and have an option in online dynasty to use them or not.... For those who think its cheesing and for those that dont
