When you watch plays in the replay, there is no reason not to go ahead and display the formations for both offense and defense for everyone. Most of us can figure it out, but having it displayed would save the effort of counting CBs and WRs and so forth.
Anyone with OC privileges for a given team should instead see the actual offensive play called by his team. Similarly, anyone with DC privileges for a team should see exactly which defensive play was called by his team.
You could put that information just between the time down and distance line (Q1 13:11 etc) and the result line that pops up after the play is complete. So it'd be something like:
Q1 13:11 2nd & 10 on OPP 39
Strong I HB Sweep Strong vs. 4-3 Defense
Dino Bianchini, Jr. pitch to Bit Blaster, PAT made by Chris F. Arley [TD] up the middle (39 yard gain)
The play should be a hoverable link that shows an image of the play when you hover over it.
Yeah I suggested this several seasons ago and got shot down by one of the mods as if I'm some dumbass who can't read a defense...All I wanted was the play called so I could pick it apart and see where I need to fix it without having to go through my entire list of custom plays and determine which 3-4 play was used.
