How are you forcing him in to a play? He is not in RB1 or RB2, only in RB with the other HB(neither HB is in RB1 or RB2 in the viewable depth). Can only call one of 3 HB positions within a package far as i know so any play in a package can only assign RB for any role.

Are you using saved depth charts in the tactics calendar that make use of those depth slots?

Gonna have to give a mod GM/AI access for them to be able to see your AI/packages.

I used a saved dc for it.

Regardless the package has the hb set to block. Has nothing to do with the depth chart.

Yes I'm aware a mod will need access.

Ok, thought maybe you meant that he should only have been in when he was supposed to block. I looked through all your plays and didn't see any instance of you calling the play where the HB blocked, have you ever intended that to happen in the 3 previous instances you called it (think you called that HB smash 7 times in that game, 3 times in the rest of the games)

Since the play is a HB primary receiver play, you may need to re-check that you changed the custom play progression to start with someone other than the HB, since the primary receiver (as drawn) cannot be set to block. I just mention this because as i looked at each play, the HB was always the first player targeted. This might be another reason why he was going out for the pass.

Hmm I did not use custom progression for that play. I did not realize that since he was primary he would be forced into the route.

This is the first I've heard that is how the sim works. Thanks

Just to clear up what i said so there isn't a misunderstanding, you can set the- as drawn- primary receiver to block but in order to do it you have to set up a pass progression that makes someone else the primary for that play.

So for that play if you want the HB to block sometimes, change the default to something like FB,TE,WR1,WR2,FB (or whatever) The FB will become the new primary and you can set the HB to block. Only time this won't work are on screens when you cannot change who the ball is being passed to.

You're welcome. I'd still have someone check to see if that was the case. It's possible the play has an error in it that is locking the HB into running a route no matter what you set in the package.

Basic Settings, betting you have the HB Run Route Percentage not set at 100%....

Yeah I understood. Its one of the only plays I didn't set a custom progression for. What you said makes sense. Just need a bug guy to confirm that is the case and I'll be happy.

Has nothing to with this since I used the pass block setting not the use basic tactics setting.

HB is primary target on that play by default so you'd need to set a custom progression to have him be able to block.

Not a bug. OP did not know that primary targets cannot be kept in to block.
