Tourney Sub Question

I know that in the Depth Chart only DE's and LB's can be used at LB. Is it legal to "sub" SS's in at the OLB positions from the play call screen?

yeah that's fine

lol.. Not at tournaments. You definitely can't do that at MLG, and you can't do it at Players Bowl:


That's directly from the Player's Bowl site.

Hhhhmmm, I thought Farls said you were allowed to sub players in wherever at MLG tourneys as long as they are correct in the depth chart. Care to chime in on this Z?

Absolutley, Ellison and Sensabaugh in the 4-4 go nuts. All is fair game from play call screen. you got limited options anyway. (no wr at db on purpose though i gotta say)

The rules on the MLG site said you can only sub in players that were LB/DE at the OLB spot though lol

through packaging and the play call screen its all fair game though

Says you can only substitute in RE/LE/ROLB/MLB/LOLB at ROLB / MLB / LOLB..


Also, that's the rules for the finals. So it's the most recent set of rules.

The only way you can sub is at the play call screen =/ They even mention the package feature, which is only available there too =[ I wish you could use SS there but apparently you can't.. I think it's an unwritten rule that people don't say anything about it.

So is there any answer to this? It's in the rules but do people still do this anyway?
