Because there are runs out of shotgun now. If the defense automatically switched to a pass defense, the offense could just run out of shotgun all day and the defense would be in the wrong configuration.

I think i'd rather be in nickel against a shotgun run than in 4-3 against a shotgun pass. is there a way to give people the option? some kind of an 'automatically move to nickel vs shotgun' on/off choice?

How about helping out the defense instead of offense for once? Or do we want some teams scoring 76 points against other teams on a regular basis?

I have some defense upgrades in the works, they just aren't ready yet.

You still change to a nickel but the actual defense you run doesn't change.

I believe the D still switches to the nickle but doesn't automatically switch to pass defense (man to man I believe).
Chris, does the D maintain the play that was called? Could their be an advanced setting where the defense 'audibles' to a specific play based on down, distance, score, etc... ?

Ah, answered before I even ask... now that's service:spin:

Advanced settings already allow this, except for taking formation into account... I plan on adding this, the question is whether to try top cram it into this update or release this one and then start on that.

I think I'd lean towards releasing what you have and then adding that wrinkle later. people will probably ask about it but I think they'll be overjoyed to get what you've already done. also, there's a lot to process in there, so people will need time to adjust already. if they can adjust in two stages, I think that's easier.
