Turn this into a wish-list for the new game, I would like...
a customizable playoff allowing as many teams as I choose.
block kicks/pts
revamped recruiting (I forget which game but it used to be better)
top recruits get 30 sec cut scene clips of them picking the hat of their team
more indepth coach skill trees, contracts, etc... ability to hire, fire, etc...
coordinators recruit to their side of the ball, HC to both sides. I hate be responsible for all of recruiting when I am the OC.
There is no way my running back or wide receiver should be tackled from behind by a lineman.... hell probably shouldn't even be caught by linebackers that you are already past.
This video is a bit long and he covers A LOT, but I do like some of it.
