Pre-season matches?? And depth chart questions

By jhartshorn

1 - Does the pre-season matches count towards the league as the tables seem to have updated; however someone told me they were just like friendly matches. If they do count why are they called preseason and not just regualr season!?

2 - I'm using Auto set depth chart for now. Three QB's have been selected. How does the match engine decide which QB wil be used for each play? Is it random or does it favour the number 1 pick?

3 - On the player cards it says whether a player is the WR#3 etc - is that according to where they are in the depth chart picking list or based on rating?

Those getting bored of my questions will be pleased to know I've finally got my head around the meaning of the OffPlay and DefPlay names and figured out the zone/man parts and 1/2/3 deep on def plays etc. :))))

1. No they dont count

2. During the preseason your starters will only play according to the settings you can adjust for preseason and then the backups come in after whatever quarter you pull the starters. During the season your #1 Quarterback will take all the snaps on Offense unless you actually go into formations and change them but you cant change them for individual plays.

3. Yes that means he is #3 on the depth chart and will be a backup to starters when they get tired or injured in formations of 3 or more WR they will come on and play the slot position

It will for 3 out of the 4 preseason weeks. after your 4th preseason game the league will reset to zero's for everyone

"Friendly matches"...I think we have a soccer fan in our midst. Good to see you're playing a game about REAL football! ;)

well over in Europe they do have rugby which was part of how american football started (actually grew out of both rugby and soccer)...... now there's a rough sport for people who complain about how violent american football is lol...

for those interested here's a little article about how modern american football came into being
