Is there a formation that gets two OLBs on the defensive line in a three man front or does one of those spots have to be a defensive end?
Recently switched to 3-3 Cub, but can’t seem to run MLB, ROLB, DT, LOLB, MLB in the front five.

specialist tab in lineup and substitution in game, since 3-3 cub is a nickel formation, it will use players in the RRE, RDT, and RLE part of the lineup

When I go to substitute my RE in this formation it only allows true ends or DTs. For some reason I can put an OLB on one side, but not both.

Regarding the 3-3 Cub alignment, flarefolf's answer had two parts:
Check your lineup prior to the game (or from Depth Chart during the game), specifically the RLE1 (Rush Left End) and RRE1 (Rush Right End) positions. By default, the middle defensive lineman will be the RDT1 (Rush Defensive Tackle).
If you're having trouble subbing in players during the game from the Substitution menu, make sure the LOLB or ROLB you're looking for isn't already on the field elsewhere. Your LOLB1 and ROLB1 will already be on the field by default.
46 and Multiple defensive play book have Nickel 3-3 and Nickel 3-3 Cub. they have the same personel but the 2 "OLBs" are next to the MLB in the box. when you audible to 3-3 Cub they will walk down to the line. I'm pretty sure you can put OLBs at DE in 3-3 and audible into 3-3 cub to keep them there.

put a ROLB as the RE in the lineup as a OOP or secondary position
