Backfield by Committee not working?

Hey everyone,
Has anyone found a way to get backfield by committee to do anything. I am testing with two 100 overall running backs, and with or without it checked, the second back on my depth chart never gets more than 60 carries in a season.

is the 2nd RB listed on the package DCs you use for run plays?

I’ve also noticed this as well.

I figured with it checked, the game would automatically use the 2nd RB. Do we also have to create a separate package that features the backup RB as well? That wouldn’t be good considering that the AI doesn’t set up any packages...

Yea, I'll have to look into it.

I'm not sure I haven't checked. I would assume so if I just let the AI put the DC together, right?

I also haven't done any sort of messing around with packages, but I figured BFBC would sub out the top back frequently.

I am not seeing the other back(s) getting any carries.

I'm also seeing this issue. RB1 always seems to end up with 80%+ of the touches. Any plans to patch this?

We haven't looked into this yet... I have it on the list to patch if I can figure out the issue, but the next PF patch probably won't be for a while as we're working on a CF release.

One of my first observations with the 21 game was that I didn't like backfield by committee for my own team (Vegas Rdrs) because it gave Richards (no 2 back) 15 carries in my first game and Jacobs 12..so I'd say it works very well as intended if you are trying to split carries...they were both on the field about the same number of snaps with Jacobs on the field 24 snaps and Richards 22.

Yep I have this working for my backs and the carries are nicely split
