I am not using this as sour grapes because my team lost a playoff game, but it is so frustrating when the sim alters my game plan. I don't even know what caused it this time. Usually its because of having too many/not enough active players. But I don't understand why the sim can't just fix the depth chart without jacking around my entire game plan.

I never use 3 deep zone, got called 12 times and an average of 11 yards per play.
I never use 2 deep zone, got called 12 times and an average of 7 per play.
I never use goalline, got called 14 times.

My run/pass defense was set to 100% neutral for every situation.

Offensive playbook/formations/play mix was all messed up.

This must be a check before the sim runs that causes this. Is there a way to get a warning that my depth chart/game plan is not set correctly as soon as I mess it up? I mean I get warnings at the top of every page about players becoming free agents for like the last six weeks of the season. Can't there be a similar warning to let a GM know that their game plan/depth chart is not in order?
