That would be a nightmare for people that actually want a somewhat grounded sim experience.

Online maybe. Offline cfm would be fine. Say I have Tavon Austin. I want him in the backfield at times.

Then you get people who want Vince Wilfork at QB.

The formation substitution position rules were copied from what has existed in the in-game formation subs interface for years, which is why those rules still exist in the out-of-game UI.

If it's offline, who the hell cares?

For some reason, when I change my playbook in the "schemes" section in CFM, the change doesn't stick when I go to set formation subs.

I use the Lions, but I use the NE Coach playbook for offense. I switched to that playbook in Schemes.

When I go to make formation subs, only lets me sub for the Lions (Jim Caldwell) playbook.

I'm super mad that any signing/release/injury gets your Formation subs reset. Especially the special teams ones where I sub almost everyone, because they keep puting starters there...

FYI - In the Nickel 3-3-5 SAM formation you can put your SS in at LB by using quick subs. I'm not sure about any others.

edit: Nickel Normal is another one.
