Forgive me if this is common knowledge, it's been a while since I've taken a trip down the EA Sports sliders rabbit hole.

I was playing a game against an FCS team last night and wanted to have the game rotate my players automatically for me during the game. Within Dynasty, I increased all the auto-subs sliders +10 from their default values before I started my game. During the game, I honestly didn't see any substitutions at all. This despite the FCS team sustaining some drives running flexbone triple option and some timely QB scrambles; I was in 4-4 nearly the entire game on defense.

How much do I need to increase the auto-subs sliders to see any effects here? Assume a default value on all other sliders, currently playing on All American difficulty.

My current setup that's a total WIP and is just copied over from what I used in Madden is:

QB 0/1
RB 85/92
WR 80/87
FB/TE 75/82
OL 0/1

DT 85/92
DE 85/92
LB 75/82
CB 75/82
S 75/82

But note that I also play with fatigue at 72 right now, so my player tire faster, but I am getting rotation at all the positions I want at frequencies around where I want.

I tried to use these... i think people should know left side it out and right side is in because if you put HB Subs in at 85 max you can go for out is 84

My initial thoughts after a few days of testing is this game seems to have a carry over issue from madden when it comes to auto subs.

I've had to increase fatigue up to 70 so far....

Problem is if mess up on the auto sub settings you start to lose guys in the 2nd half for the remainder of the games.

So I'm going through most rosters this week and looking at players stamina ratings to help me with auto sub settings

Gentlemen, this has been a unicorn we’ve been chasing for over a decade. The last time auto subs work properly in an EA football game was madden 16 and madden 12 it’s been fubar ever since.

If you guys are able to come up with a set of auto subs, I will sing your graces up and down and sideways. Good luck. And God bless you and our troops.

At least in Madden, 75/80 has worked pretty well for me with fatigue at 100 on Competitive game style.

So I'm starting with 75/80 with fatigue at the default 50 in CF25. Haven't played enough to see how well it works.
