Thank you, EA_Shepard
Here is what is happening. I can go in and set my offensive and defensive focal points (ex. Defend inside run, throw medium), then I can pick my focus players (3-6), then I can set my strategy (HC, OC, etc.) To be clear, I am fine with all that. I don't want those changed. At this point in prior games, there was a simulate practice button, which is missing from this version. What I can do is back out after setting all that, go to play game, click it, and it will give me the option to simulate practice. But it resets my offensive and defensive focal points to what it had before I changed it. So, if I go to change it and it says, 'Run Inside' and I change it to 'Deep Pass', it will change that selection back to 'Run Inside' when I back out. And then I have to click back out of the Game Start screen to get my practice upgrades before starting the game again to simulate it. I like to watch the simulations.
What I'd like is a button like previous versions had where you set your offensive and defensive focuses (Run Inside, Throw Deep, etc.), you set your players to get extra attention (3-6), you set your four strategies (HC, OC, DC, Personnel), and then you click 'Simulate Practice', and it simulates practice, then gives you a list of the results, gains and losses.
