Re: starters not on field
I figured it out. Somehow the Manage Practice Reps setting got put to Manual and the reps were set to Full Pads - Starters for all positions. Then when I get to the end of the season, the auto-sub feature kicks in because my players are spent.
I have no idea if the recent update changed teh setting or if I accidentally did, but I was able to recover from the effects of it the next season.
