I have been having an issue with one of my teams. I have my standard DC set as the default, and for certain matchups, I will use a specialized defense depth chart I have saved as a preset. I will put that preset on the calendar for the matchups I want, however, for some reason, after that game where the preset DC is used, my default DC is overridden. It happened a bunch in the pre-season when I was running lots of scrims, and then I noticed what was happening and proceeded to just check my default DC every time I used the preset and re-worked the default as needed.

Just figured it was my team, but then ran into similar with a different team I help out with. This time it was on offense. Someone threw a specialized offense depth chart on the calendar, and then after that game, all of a sudden the default depth chart is all screwed up.

Just wanted to see if anyone else is experiencing similar before I submit a ticket.

yes, been like that for like 30 seasons already. Create a copy of your preset depth chart every season, or create a new one... if you let it roll over from season to season it overwrites the default, but if you create a new one in the season you are in, then you should be good.

On the Chiefs, I know nobody else that has access would touch it. Also, it keeps being overridden to the same bad depth chart. If a few different things were changed from time to time, I would suspect this, but when the default DC is changed, the same exact dots are always moved and others are removed entirely. It also only happens after I use one of our specialty depth charts.

Yeah, I will likely clear the entire depth chart for the team and rebuild from scratch after this season. I figured there was some sort of glitch with just my main team, but then it happened on another team I am involved with so I figured I would see if it were a known issue.

Chances of the bug being discovered and then being fixed is highly unlikely at this point, so I will just have to keep an eye on it I guess, and hopefully deleting all saved DC's and starting from scratch next season will fix it going forward.

When we ran with 4 different DC's for south otto back in the day we ran into these issues all the time. Its 100% A bug that wont be fixed. You dont have to rebuilt from scratch though, just need to save a new one every season.

110% this. I can't count the number of times this 'glitch' has bit many a team (and myself) in the a$$ until I learned this lesson. And SAVE your presets often because it will TIME OUT on you if you take too long setting the depth charts.
