I would like to make rules that dictate which formations my defense uses against specific offensive formations.

If i do that, would the run/pass keys from the defensive gameplanning have any effect? In short, does a rule trumph the selections made in the defensive gameplanning?

Thanks :)

Yes.

You set run/pass sliders in rules too.

Thanks

You can set gameplanning sliders in the rules too, so you really aren't losing anything.

On the matrix sliders I have everything 100 neutral and use my rules to cover all defensive scenarios. In those rules, I change the run/pass ratios based on opponents play calling.
