Why do i bother selecting a team and formation only for the game to completely ignore it? I did not pick my DL man to play at SS, nor did i select my green WR at RB, not my FS at QB.

Seriously, am i wasting my time?

In all due respect, these problems are usually due to the user.

Did you set your formation atleast an hour before the match?

Actually,I have to say that this might be a programming problem.
In my friendly today I saw that one of my OL played at DL. I have tried to get at least 1 player at each position on top of my starters for cover.
I set my team the day before,and I never play players outside their best position.
Perhaps,if a player is injured in the game,the program uses what it feels is the best replacement for a couple of downs.
Also,I have always put "never run" on a 4th down play,yet the program seems to ignore this in certain situations,and does it anyway.
I'm sure everyone will agree,this initial season is the time to sort out these bugs,and not get disheartened/angry at the game/dev team.
Even WOW has been patched,and you pay a damned sight more to play there than here,so come on guys, give the team a break .

That's very true Finrot.

Unfortunately, I am quick to blame the user. I'm trying not to though, because as you stated, the engine isn't quite perfect yet!

Wait for an admin, hopefully they will respond sometime soon.

Its no biggie, if im honest. I tend to set the team up a couple of days prior to a match, as its a great work avoidance technique. Its just a smidge frustrating when i get my ass handed to me.

Seemed that the other chap i was playing was subject to a similar problem, with a DL at QB.

Granted, this is a work in progress, but hard to progress when my QB is whiffing - and missing - at all the throws that my safety is slinging his way!

You didn't submit your tactics, neither did your opponent

Tell us which player was in the wrong position so we can check if this is a programming problem

And if you feel this is a bug (programming problem) why not post it in the bug report section?
