[h3]Formation overrides:[/h3] The first big addition in this update is a new "Formation overrides" section in the depth chart. This allows you to set exactly who is in where for different formations, on both offense and defense. And it allows more fluidity to positions! For example, want to use that speedy DL as an OLB in the 3-4 formation? Or want to split a TE out wide in some shotgun sets? Now you can in this new UI. [img]https://i.imgur.com/N6jO5lv.png[/img] Player preferences, set in each position section in the depth chart, still take effect, so you should set those first (like outside vs slot for WR, etc) before setting overrides. But this new system allows much finer control over your personnel during games. [h3]View previous play personnel:[/h3] Another related change is the ability to see the previous play's personnel when playing a game. In the "Play summary" dialog, you can view the exact offensive and defensive personnel and where they were in the play. This should help visualize exactly how the play unfolded, and will help make sure that any overrides and preferences are working as expected. [img]https://i.imgur.com/dfawDGJ.png[/img] [h3]New game plan page:[/h3] The other huge feature is a completely revamped "Game Plan" page, which now has a combined offense/defense tab, with 15 new 'advanced' game plan settings. These range from offense tempo, to primary pass targets, tackling technique and special teams. Many options have tradeoffs; do you tell your DBs to be ballhawks and go for risky interceptions, or focus more on securing the tackle and limiting YAC? This should really enhance the strategy and style of your team, and I'm excited for you all to try them out! [img]https://i.imgur.com/CQIp49V.png[/img] I've also added a "This week's matchup" tab to the Game Plan page, which lets you easily see who you're playing that week and any adjustments that you may want to make. [h3]Substitutions override:[/h3] This update also adds a new substitutions UI to the "Subs" tab when playing a game. Now you can force your starters or backups to be inserted in the game, overriding the backup settings that are configured in the depth chart (which tell backups to be inserted at certain time/score thresholds). It's helpful for those blowouts without needing to change the depth chart settings. [img]https://i.imgur.com/TcbUrrW.png[/img] I've changed many other things which you can read below, including a way to add players to the Ring of Honor manually, muffed punts, and better save structure.
