[BigBiss]

What do you mean by scheme? Playbooks? Formations?

 

[BigBucs]

Believing he is referring to the offensive and defensive philosophy from team to team.

Im a little curious myself about the schemes. If i choose a 4-3 scheme as a coach and choose the colts how does that work since you cant edit players to put people where you want them. Or is your scheme automatically connected to what team your on and you cant choose

 

[Jclentzthadon]

I think you create your coach and you select your coach philosophy and I am not 100% but have seen where people are talking like you can be a defensive, offensive, motivator or strategist type of coach and each coaching philosophy focuses and gives you the coach more xp, ability to land FA etc with players that fit your philosophy. I would guess at sOme point in this process you select say a defensive scheme as well, allowing you to see the position ovr's for players that fit that scheme. An example would be Jared Allen may be a 97 ovr in a 4-3 but only a 87 ovr in a 3-4 DE position.

 

[BigBiss]

i wonder if there will be more then just 4-3, 3-4 ...4-3 (tampa-2,zone blitz(Philly), man) multi D ie Houston.

will all 3-4 be equal and if not will it make it a bitch to sign players from one style to another

what about offence ... west coast, power run, spread?

 

[BigBucs]

Dont expect intricate shit like Baltimores 3-4 being different than Green Bays. This is EA we are talking about. I expect the defensive schemes to be exactly what is already in the game (3-4, 4-6, 4-3, Cover 2) and dont expect for any of them to be different from team to team. I believe players will be rated the same amongst different teams that use the same scheme with their ratings dropping in schemes that doesnt fit them.

But if Jared Allen is a de in a 4-3 he should be an blitzing olb in a 3-4, if i cant edit positions does he stay a de or move to olb?

Yeah im pretty sure they fucked that part of the game up sadly which is a pretty big deal imo.

You could still slot him in OLB in your depth chart no?

 

[Prodigal Son]

Doubt you can change his position, it sounds like it'll just destroy his overall if you play him a 3-4.

 

[Golden Taters]

A thing to remember is players playing out of their natural scheme will not effect their individual ratings, just their overall rating.

I think the question is, should we have too?

 

[killgod]

I don't understand this conversation at all? This is how it's always been. If you want a guy to play DE, you slot him at DE and he'll be rated OVR as a DE. If you want him slotted as an OLB, you put him at OLB and he'll be rated....etc. His "natural" position is bloody irrelevant. His individual ratings make up the OVR of wherever you decide he plays. A 3-4 DE's OVR will be compiled of diff individual ratings than the 4-3 formula, so fucking what? OVR is a meaningless number to anyone but the CPU.

And I mean you're asking if you should have to pick where your players play? What in the fuck?

 

[bucky]

Yeah but what goals is the player asked to meet if he's assigned as a DE but in the depth chart as a OLB. Kind of messes up the shitty XP progression system even more.

You're certain this is how it works?

They aren't going to count his sacks, tackles, etc, towards his goals if he's playing at DT or RE? or LB? That seems a bit ridiculous. A TE won't have his stats counted if he lines up at FB or WR spots? Or a RB won't get stats if lined up as a WR? Etc?


Prove it.

Where in this image does it specify anything like that?




You spend too much time arguing with tin foil hat wearing children on OS.

Put RG3 at punter and see how many QB goals he achieves. Putting a QB in the depth chart as a punter may not be possible, but the concept is the same for positions you can do this with.

I'm saying if you have a player that is a DE in a 3-4, he will have goals assigned to him as a 3-4 DE. Makes sense. Since we can not change a players position, if we put the player at 3-4 outside LB he will still have the GOALS of a 3-4 DE. So we have a player getting stats for one position but goals for another. Since we can't change the players position in the DB, what is it that you need proving?

Anytime you would have a player playing a position in the depth chart that is outside of their Looman assigned position, they will be getting stats for one position, but having the goals of another.

To go to the extreme. If it were possible to put a Punter in as QB in the Depth chart, all the QB stats they accumulated would not help them reach the Punter goals that they would be assigned. It F's up the already crappy XP progression system.

 

[Jclentzthadon]

Can you not change positions? Is that fact? If so that could be a problem. Does anyone know? Forgive me if I missed this.
