I really like the idea of having to sign up for one playbook per season and then rewarding those that stay with them. But I doubt something like that can happen with the current pathing/coding. I could be wrong... but I don't think I am. If I am... then lets add this to make the game WAY more fun.

it seems like you could do the same thing on a game by game basis for spammed plays though, by either nerfing the spammer or buffing the spamee. After a play is run 10 times the opponent gets x% boost every time the play is run again up to a maximum. That would make a lot of games much more interesting, but not totally change the dynamic.
I guess rewarding diversity for little reason just isn't my cup of tea. Diversity is already rewarded in scouting an opponent out. People who spam 1 or 2 plays are already handcuffing themselves against good teams in the first place. Plus the side of the ball that generally spams 1-2 plays is defense and not only is that a terrible idea after rookie season, but defense sure doesn't need any nerfing the farther you get down the line.
With the identity idea, at least its a small reward for long term commitment, like chemistry. It also helps you build within a system at the same time.

Didn't mean to move. Bears didn't re up or something so we had to go where they fit us.

Even if the dude is wide open, the qb won't throw to him until he hits a certain spot on his route. Why? Because games are much more fun when they make no sense whatsoever

not true for all downs.

Actually, that's one of the more realistic aspects of the game.
Imagine how many passes even Tom Brady or Peyton Manning could complete if they immediately threw to wide open receivers who had their backs to the ball. You can't throw to a WR or back who isn't looking and isn't going to be looking when the ball arrives.

Well in their offenses receivers rarely have their backs to the ball.

What Jampy said,
Also in their offenses they'll actually hold back the HB to pick up that extra blitzer, which seems to take an act of god on this game.

Nah. It'll start happening pretty often sophomore season once your QB gets better.

The decision to hold backs is tied to awareness rolls. Just through observation, it seems like by sophomore, most passing QB's have gotten enough awareness that they start making those rolls.
They also get enough pass awareness that they get through their reads pretty quick as well and so blitzes stop being as effective.

I wasn't sure if that feature was fully functional or not.
Good to know, ty.
