I know the ai uses some logic based on the head coach, but there weights are off for finding role players if you want to diversify schemes or change the coach. The default weights are generally more well rounded compared to mine, but I think they align them with scheme
Lately I have been using player weights to to get role,players by ignoring the labels and drafting them based on scheme . Not necessarily well rounded players unless that is his role primarily .
RB would be pure runner
FB might be a balanced back or 3rd down back
TE more like an h-back
LT is the run blocking tackle
RT is a pass blocking tackle
LG is a less agile technical guard
RG is the mobile guard
LDE is 9 technique DE and or 3 technique DT
Dt is my zero or slower 1 tech defender
RDE is my 5, 6,7, and or a faster 1 technique who will play some RDT
SLB is edge rusher with a little 3rd, 4th and 5th
MLB is 4th , 5th option cover LB
Wlb is man 3rd , 4th option cover LB
CB is man coverage #1 lock down CB
SS is my 4th and 5th option cover guy
FS is my 2nd and 3rd, 4th and 5th option safety or balanced CB
I can work with a few schemes using these responsibilities ....I gotten the ai to get some decent players but the volatility is a **** shoot. I think the point of weights is to search or click on less players . The AI just picks the first guy .
Drafting is my favorite part of the game and it takes time, still one of my goals was for the ai to draft a legit team just by changing weights alone . It's been tough cause I always have an urge to draft a guy only a few slots down .
There was a bug years ago that would draft multiple positions for no reason . Like it got stuck or something . I don't think that's what is happening here, but debugging something might take place.
I edit /refresh my board if it doesn't seem like the values for desired postions didn't change. Or I will just change guys postions. But in the auto que I keep them at 1 for rate and zero for count and volatility at zero as well. They seem to change fine, but perhaps my team was considered weak there already .
