1) How do I create a Dime Defense formation? I have found a Nickel defense, but can't seem to sub any players to create a Dime. The question really should be, how do I sub positions inside the PDS?
Click the little new button at the top left of the PDS. Make a new defensive formation with 6 DBs, 2 LB, 3 DL

2) Why are players lined up out of position in a game compared to where I originally place them on the PDS play creation It seems that everyone is always a couple of yards out of position. This is very disruptive when trying to create plays. This occurs on both offense and defense in all positions.
Might have something to do with the field the plays were designed on. Can't help you here.
3) Will there be a way to have slow motion replays in the PDS to see what is "really" happening on the field?
good suggestion.
4) Can I change the camera angle during practice to see the entire field?
This is one of the big wants for not just the PDS but in game as well.
5) Will there be a way to practice a defensive play in 2D mode on the play creation screen like there is for the offensive plays? That would be a time saver.
I don't think reads and pass coverage can be done without an offense. But stunts and blitzes would be nice to 2D sim.
6) Are LBs and DBs with READ logic suppose to just stand still or are they suppose to drop back into pass coverage if the play is a pass? My hope is that they are to "read" and act on the play. However, it seems as if they just stand still which causes deep passes to work a high percentage of the time.
Reads are really just for LBs to determine pass or run, they delay before committing to the play which would make sense why the would get burned on deep passes. I wouldn't use this for a DB.
