Some questions

I have a couple of questions:

1) How come my DTs drop so often into coverage? Just this last preseason game Jankowski had 4 passes thrown at him

2) I think we need a better way of knowing what players are more likely to be on the field. For example, in a 4-3 defense I know two DTs will be on the field a lot. Right now we don't really know what % of 4-3 or 3-4 we'll play and therefore what personnel we need exactly.

3) Speaking of Jankowski, I tried to change his number from 57 to a 90s, and the game wouldn't have it! Not sure why number changes are limited.

One of the higher priority large scale items is to give you control of the depth chart on a formation level. As for why he's dropping into coverage, it is likely a zone blitz scheme, you should be able to see it in the diagram (although I admit that it's kind of small for that evaluation - maybe I need to give more details about each assignment on the play card)

The number change limits you to the legal number ranges for the position, but the DL should allow numbers in the 90s ... I'll look into it and see if for some reason that range isn't correctly applied.

Number selection should be fixed - I didn't have the 90's available for the DL.
