Rotating Running Backs

Let me open by saying I'm sorry if this has been addressed but I tried looking and couldn't find an answer. Wondering what people who are fans of teams with 2 backs on equal standings do to rotate backs accurately. I understand this can change if it's 2 backs with similar skills or a complimentary scat back/power back combo. Came up when I was playing out this weekend's Boise St vs VT game as VT and realized that Darren Evans was only entering the game when Ryan Williams was totally gassed. To put it this way, Williams had 27 carries to Evans' 5. Both had 3 receptions.

So is the answer to adjust the RB in/RB out setting? Do formation subs beforehand or find someone who has edited such formation subs? How can this more accurately reflect real life?

Thanks in advance

Re: Rotating Running Backs

In my USC dynasty I have 3 backs who I formation sub into certain packages. Aside from this and possibly changing the sub in/sub out slider in coach settings, I don't know another way to do this.

Re: Rotating Running Backs

Wait woah Bosie played VT, I just started a Dynasty with VT and scheduled my first game against Boise, I owned them at home and Ryan Williams had 120 yards or so and Darren Evans usually came in on third downs and had 88 yards with 3 td's. Last Game against ECU both of them had 200+ yards with 22 and 20 carries, I messed around with my Sub in/sub out sliders and I usually put the backup in around the 3rd Quarter.

Re: Rotating Running Backs

I always look closely at their ratings.

I usually take the stronger back and put him into power formations.

The back better at catching goes into shotgun formations.

If everything is so equal it does not matter I just split them evenly over the plays and never think about it. I call my normal game and whichever back is in for that formation gets the ball.

Re: Rotating Running Backs

I thought the OP was asking how to get a CPU team to run a true two back system.
