which LBs are used in Nickel Defense now?

So Dime now uses your "Sub LB"...

Nickel uses your "Sub LB" and then one other one.... which is that?

Essentially, I want my MLB (user) on the field at all times, and I want my ROLB to be my 2nd LB in Nickel. How do I set this? I tried setting my MLB as my "Sub LB" to ensure that he would always be on the field, but then I end up with 2 MLBs on the field in Nickel somehow.... 

But if I set my "Sub LB" as my ROLB, then my Dime defense won't have my user MLB that is the one I actually want out there, right? Like WTF??

Put your MLB at SubLB1 and your ROLB at SubLB2.

Quote from Goat_Marino >> Damn read the description on the lineup screen where you put in your sub linebackers.  It clearly says the sub LBs 1 and 2 will be your coverage LBs in dime and nickel formations...

 i looked everywhere for this.... and while i remember seeing it at one point, I don't see it ANYWHERE on the depth chart screen. So to what are u refering? thx

Goat Marino, no need to be rude I was confused by this for a few games myself.

Yeah it uses SUBLB1 and 2 in Nickel Dime Dollar and so on ... if there’s a formation with a ROLB and/or LOLB and your ROLB/LOLB1 is a Sublb it just goes down the depth chart and picks the next man up. I got Campaign Telvin and Deion Jones(whos my MLB 2) as my SUBLBs gotta go max speed in my sub formations 😂

Quote from docMavvie >> Not sure I got what you mean. Also I hardly use Dime, usually stuck on normal 4-3 or Nickel. I have the guys I want at position 1 and 2 in the SUBLB of my squad setting

 oh so Nickel uses SubLB1 and SubLB2? So basically ignores all 3 LB positions on your main Defense depth chart? Interesting. I'd assume Dollar and Quarter use the same 2 LBs then? 

I don't understand why EA can't just fuckin publish this information instead of making it a guessing game
