Unfortunately, we wont be able to do that this year since we cannot edit players' positions. One of the things I've been clamoring for a few years is a hybrid DE/OLB category for these players so they default into whatever position the scheme calls for. That way, if the Colts switch back to a 4-3, Freeney and Mathis would automatically switch back to DE. Also, the pass rushing DE you draft would switch to OLB if you run a 3-4.

Agreed. You shouldn't have to draft OLB to play OLB in the 3-4. In the NFL a lot of projecting goes into the scouting of athletic 4-3 passrushing DE's that teams think can make the transition.

Uh-oh. Doesn't look like there's an option to even create-a-team at all, let alone use it in CCM. That's a bit of a red flag for me.

this is awesome thx!

does sound like the legends have to be controlled as the player in CC not as a CPU controlled player.

when they are being scouted for the draft they will have a production ratings based on their college stats. after being drafted and they enter the league their production ratings will be set to 0 until they begin to produce in the league.

The CC doc is pretty cool. Some pretty lousy grammar though:

Quote:

Matt Hasselbeck is a veteran who is better right now, but Jake Locker showed is more athletic and showed signs of being ready to play right now in 2011.

Also, the Titans are not built around CJ and the run as it keeps eluding to. They drafted Wright for a reason - they are building a pass heavy offense. They passed 100+ more times last season under Munchak than 2010 and this all reads like Fisher is still running the team. This is with a first year noodle arm like Matt H and no offseason to properly scheme etc. They will definitely intend to be a pass heavy offense going forward (like any team should really).

Also, the Titans player types breakdown is shockingly off. Big maulers on the OL? hardly - they have a top end pass blocking OL. Run support CBs? er, no. Run stopper at DT? Who? Most on the Titans depth chart are pass rushers, like Klug and Casey. Clearly EA haven't been paying attention to all teams as this is all generalizations from the Titans of old - very old.

There's a simple fix to this, if you decide to switch to a 3-4, just switch your pass rushing DE to OLB on the depth chart and put your run stuffing DEs or DTs at the other DE positions. Problem solved.

Or do what most teams have to do - find new players.
