I checked to see if there had been any previous posts about this, didnt find anything. Do the 1-1-3 plays auto Nickel defensive formation play calls? Just had a game where that happened and resulted in two coverage Nickel defenses being used 26 & 14 times, over half the def calls. So far, looking through the defense settings, gameplan, rules, and play log I had for the game, it is the only thing I can see that accounts for it.
Yes. Auto goes something like this depending on your plays:
005, 014, 104 - Quarter/Dime
113, 203 - Nickle
122, 212 - Normal
221, 230, 311 - Goalline
You have two ways to get around this:
1) Rules
2) Depth chart overrides, which doesn't prevent the personnel type from getting called, but keeps your LBs on the field.
