OL4 is still screwed up

Looking at Valpo in Warner, I played the first half of the national semi-finals against Texas State this morning. On the very first play of my first possession, my depth chart called for Lee, Thompson and Phillips G/C, and Clements and Lewis at T. The game played Clements and Lewis at T, and Lee, Zimmerman and Phillips at G/C. Wait a minute! Zimmerman? Chris Zimmerman is a RB, playing at the OL4 slot!?!? BTW, he was also RB2 on those plays – he was playing two positions at once.

This continued for the first four plays. Then on the fifth play the game went to Gibbs, a DB at OL4 spot. Then on the sixth play it went to Gonzalez, a LB at the OL4 spot.

When you click the green X0 on a play and the OL4 spot is blank on the lineup, we’ve been told not to worry, there’s an OL there and he just doesn’t show up. This is not true. That OL4 spot is definitely screwed up, seriously screwed up.

This has been a known problem for a long time. PLEASE FIX IT. I’ll be happy to answer any of your questions about my settings as you trouble-shoot.

    We are aware of this issue and think we know the fix. It is a pretty large change so need to do extensive testing on how to roll it out and ensure it doesn’t break anything else.

    Same problems this morning in the Warner D1AA NC game. Zimmerman (a running back) is getting a lot of play at OL4.

    Dillon, my number 1 DT, is seemingly inserted into the lineup randomly, sometimes at DL, sometimes at DT, sometimes on the bench. I only play one defense, the 4-3, so I would expect him to start at DT and play until he reaches his fatigue setting, right? Wrong!

    I feel kind of bad for the new owners of GD. They bought a broken game.

    While you’re at it, if my DL’s are set to 95% I don’t expect to see them held in the lineup until they are down to 65% when there are healthy DL’s at 100% ready to substitute in.

    Looking at it more closely, Gibbs, the DB who played OL4 on the fifth play, is redshirted, shouldn’t have been in the lineup anywhere.

    Thank you.
