This game desperately needs an onside kick option...

Meh I don't really like the game of chance to get even steeper. Plus the way this game goes you are better hoping for the ff on the kick off.

The problem is that i don't think they can make so the players keep "missing" the ball, players always catch it, like GLB fumbles, someone instantly gets, the ball doesn't keep rolling. So it wouldn't be effective cause someone would always get, the problem is, with some 100 sprinting in kickoff team, would they always get it? No game breaking cause it would be rare but...

Too much trouble for them to make it. Would be happy with half/end game tatics and effort on other areas.

I agree

Why? These games should be exciting towards the end of close games. As of now, you pretty much know the game is over, even when driving to close the gap to less than a TD. I mean, I was watching the game when they were down 10 and said, "It doesn't matter if they score a TD because the game is over. No on side kicks."

They NEED to add onside kicks and fix that hand off up the middle crap with 20 seconds left and no timeouts when in the other teams territory.

Yesterday was a PRIME example of 2 great games that ended as a dud because of stupid game mechanics.

You knew there wasn't gonna be a kick return fumble?

maybe it would work if it was controlled automatically like punting or kicking field goals.as in only when down late in the 4th ( under 5 mins let's say). also, why not add as many real football aspects as possible to the sim?

It seems as though would be too hard to controll. Already big enough issues with end of half/game results already, adding something could throw a worse curveball in. While if done properly, I like the idea, but with how many things could go wrong with it just being added makes me not interested in it YET.

Would have to do something like a complete success/fail roll before the kick happened, nothing about player builds involved, just a straight up 5-10% chance for success. I could see something easy like that being put into the game perhaps

If that's the case better off hoping for a fumble on the deep kick off.

Well the NFL onside success % is much higher, just don't know how people would feel about a 15-20% chance at a successful attempt here. What do you think the %s are on the fumbled KO on last possessions?

Probably about 5%. Which seems about right. If you have fallen behind by 14+ odds probably shouldn't be good for late comeback heroics.
