took about an hour going threw my team putting my guys in the right places according to there skills. Set up both my offense and defense. Went to save as default and it tells me I have an illegal line up! What! It does not say what is wrong with my line up so I don't know if it is offense or defense or what the problem is.

I continued to play with it a bit but putting in a very basic Offense and Defense and I still get the damn Illegal Line up IN BIG RED LETTERS!!.

I know how to line up lineups. I have coached football and know these things. At least tell me what is wrong. This game is to complicated why even play! Can't even tell me what is wrong from a bare basic lineup.!!!!

You probably have the same player in more than one position. That's what I'm going to assume since you insist you know how to make a proper lineup.

If that's not the case, feel free to post the positions you're trying to play and I'm sure someone can help you.

yep... best way to do it....

also check you dont have 2 players set to play for example TE left, or some such when you meant to have one left and one right...

Well, the BIG RED letters show up (in the formation overview, to the left) in the folder/tab, where the illegal lineup is. So if the offense formation is illegal, and you switch to the defense tab, this alert is not displayed.

So whith this in mind, it should be rather easy to determine, where the error is.

Then, check again the game rulesabout formations (1.1 and 1.2):

Game Rules wrote:


1.1. LEGAL OFFENSIVE FORMATION
Offensive formation is seen as "legal" when:
a) It has all 11 players assigned
b) Has exactly 1 quarterback
c) Has at least 7 men on the line of scrimmage
d) Has exactly 1 center and at least 2 players that are assigned a position of either guard or tackle
e) Does not have more than 1 guard (for each side), tackle (for each side), tight end (for each side), halfback (for each available position) and fullback (for each available position). To explain: You can have 3 halfbacks if they are halfback (right), halback (center) and halfback (left). However, you cannot have 2 or 3 halfbacks (center)
f) Does not have more than 2 wide receivers (for each side)
g) Has at least 1 running back of any type and on any position


1.2. LEGAL DEFENSIVE FORMATION
Defensive formation is seen as "legal" when:
a) It has all 11 players assigned
b) Has at least 2 men on the line of scrimmage
c) Does not have more than 1 nose tackle, tackle (for each side), end (for each side), outside linebacker (for each side), strong safety (for each available position) and free safety (for each available position).
d) Does not have more than 4 middle linebackers
e) Does not have more than 2 cornerbacks (for each side)



My knowledge of acctuall football is rather small, but i think there are some restrictions to the formation, which would be allowed in reel football.
