Training Camp and rotations

Thanks for MFL85 for bringing this up.

The way I hope to use the rotation on this team is for everyone to get a good amount of snaps. Starters will hopefully get around the 50 snaps they need for max xp, and the backups will hopefully get 30+ as well. Against complete cupcake teams (there's usually a few), we'll probably reverse the depth chart a bit to get the backups some more xp, otherwise the gap between starters and backups will widen, and it will start to be a problem come playoff time.

One other thing I hope to do is use the preseason scrimmages to resolve some of the starting roles, similar to the NFL. I will likely set the competing players to a 99/0 energy setting so that they go alternate plays for all three games, and will use their performance in those games to establish the initial starter. This will only be for those positions where its pretty close as to who will be the better option.
