Is there any way that the "dots" on the replay be changed for backups & starters? What I'm saying is, the offensive starter dots could stay the same, but when a backup is in maybe it's a lighter shaded dot or something like that?
This would be GREAT to help understand energy, as well as why a play worked or didn't if it was due lets say to a backup CB covering a #1 WR.
You can do this through clever modification of the highlight script. The easiest way is: instead of changing the dots, you can change the color of the highlight for particular players. First string gets one color, 2nd gets another, and so on. The script would have to modified by hand with the depth chart info. Changing the actual icons is possible as well, but it's not for the faint of heart.
