Depth Chart - am I missing something?

[davec53]

I can see a full roster of players on my team when I view them in "Edit Players", but when I go to set my depth chart, those guys aren't there. Now, if I want to sub one of those players in place of someone that IS visible, I can sub from that pool of players, but why would they not just be listed in the depth chart view?

Is there a way to make ALL players visible in the depth chart mode? I thought by allowing it to auto re-order, they'd all show up, but that doesn't do it.

am i missing something?

They're probably redshirted...

[davec53]

they don't appear to be redshirted, no.

i was just curious if the depth chart view only allows a certain number of players at each position to be shown, or if it only shows them down to a certain OVR level.

it should normally not make too big a difference, since most of those players won't really see any action, anyway, but if you are using a downloaded roster that only goes 3 deep at a certain position, and you'd like to add a 4th, i don't see a clear way to make that happen.

If I'm reading you right, what you're trying to do is say, for example, have 4 QBs listed on your depth chart. The game only lets you go three deep at QB though.

I think you just have to deal with it. If your #1 goes down, then shift everyone up and put your #4 in the #3 spot. But you can't list a 4th string QB. Same goes for all positions.

thanks, hotfudge...that's pretty much what i was wondering.

Yeah when you're at the depth chart screen hit x like you're going to sub out a player and then it shows more players. I don't like how the depth chart is set up.

And this my friend's is a major part of the so-called "depth chart glitch." We need more depth chart slots.

I've been asking for extra depth chart slots for years.....we need 85 man rosters with 5 deep depth charts...and we need seperate depths, depending on what defense the team runs....ie 4-2-5 needs more safety spots....we should be able to change the defensive scheme right at the depth chart screen as well
