This is completely untrue, I have noticed recently some of you guys are posting nonfactual information. I posted about 5-6 pages back about the depth chart reordering issue. I play practice every week and all of my changes to the depth chart have stuck using a custom roster in Offline CCM. Every time I make a change to my depth chart I save inside the depth chart menu and then again once I exit the depth chart menu and the changes have stuck.

I suspect picking up free agent or trading for players may have something to do with the depth chart reordering itself but I haven't tested that theory out yet.

From my personal experience, my information is 100% correct. Feel free to disagree with me all you want, but I'm putting the information out there so that it can hopefully help someone else having the issue.

The problem is that you said it was because of practice and it is not. My depth chart is not reordering at all and I am on my 2nd week of preseason now having played both the game and practice.

From what I can tell from the posts, it seems that people that imported a roster get stuck with the reorder bug. Did you use a custom roster?

oh you are using a custom roster and not resetting? hmm, welll there goes that theory. I'm not using a custom roster and I do not get a reset either...hmmm, more data to ponder.

You know though, I think I always do save while I'm still in the depth chart, I mean why wouldn't you, I always do it because my depth chart is so much work I'd hate to lose it, so any game i've ever played I aways save my depth chart often while i'm working on it, so maybe you are on to something there...

After trying ABR's method, it does work also. I think that as long as you save while still in the depth chart menu, everything will stick.

For those who don't practice anyway (Allen Iverson anyone?), or don't plan on saving in the depth chart menu, my method also works.

In offline CCM, I stopped caring about my depth chart out of games. For some wonky reason once you start a game player overalls are different anyway - so I just auto reorder in-game.

Have you seen the patriots this year? A lot more runs than usual.

Also i think people seem to be forgetting that in this so called "pass heavy" league, teams are now exploiting dime/nickle packages with lots of draws and sweeps.

You are correct in that assertion but you have to admit that overall the Patriots are still passing more than they run. Also if you look at the Saints or Packers, they are also running much more than they pass which isn't even close to their true pass/run ratio based on the stats you see for the 2011 season.

The playcalling is still messed up in this game. Too many runs on 1st and 2nd down when the game is tied or you are up only 3. What the patch did change is if you're up 7 then the CPU teams become a 50/50 pass run team and you are up by 14 maybe a 55/45 pass/run ratio for the CPU when trying to catch up. Problem is this is the same for every team.

The saving grace is if the second controller method works for offline CCM, we should be able to create custom playbooks for each CPU team you play against which would allow us to give the CPU more accurate pass run ratios. We shouldn't have to go to this extreme of a stretch but we'll have to do it for now.
