I love this idea and I'm happy to see that it's on the test server being used. There appears to one major piece missing: SS.

Having the ability to select which SS to be in on a certain play out weighs every other option that would be given to us.

I suggest that Bort add SS to the custom D depth chart. That's all, doubt this will be seen and doubt it's important to anyone else.` Thanks for reading.

I think that's giving TOO much diversity to a defense. How often do you see the SS being subbed on a defense? Personally, I don't see it very often. John Lynch was a hard hitting SS, but was still out there on passing downs.

The LBs make sense, the DL makes sense, but DBs do not. Of course, I'm open to reasoning as to WHY the SS should be there. Don't just say "rushing and passing downs"...

Well without there being formations such as the 46, 4-4, 3-5, 5-3 etc. we have to create our own by moving moving the SS down to play as a LB. Now with my team this isn't a problem as our SS is build as a hard hitter, but I'm sure other teams with a coverage SS would rather sub in a LB when using those formations.

I haven't read the entire thread. In case a couple weren't mentioned what about being able to add stunts. The play creator already allows you the tools you'd need to be able to create zone blitz schemes.

I don't know if this will be held back at first because of the potential abuse or not, but.......

If you try to create a weakside CB blitz against the singleback 3 wr plays from a dime package, you won't be able to use the extra CB on the other side to cover the WR. That or will it line the CB in man coverage up over his man? Its not a problem currently with the way the sim works with the defender being psychic and lining up over his man, but I think I read that will be changed for next season. That would mean that there would be an issue with CB coverages if he is trying to cover a WR from the other side. It would also mean that there would be a problem with 4wr sets in the future if a Trips line up was implemented.

A potential fix for this to prevent the Defense from straight out stacking the edge of the line with CB's to blitz would be to unlock one CB from the other side and move him over for every CB set to blitz. The Trips situation would still have to be looked at in the future.

options to fake blitz's, make a vision check by the QB. you can see what im saying

I don't know if this has been suggested above, but I think it would be nice to have the ability to put each player where you want them to start out on the field. This would work only if they were not in man coverage (although, in man coverage, you could still have the option to move the player closer to the opponent or farther away). This way, we have more freedom to build custom defenses and allows for more diversity in the game. Plus, it might be good if you see a team always running to the right, to be able to bring a bunch of your players onto the right side. Or, if you know the other team has a burner WR, you could drop your CB back a little and shift a safety over to help out. And, if this could all be done by moving the players with a mouse, that would be nice as well.

Technically, that's not the true formation. That's a hyrbid of the CURRENT formations, with just the SS shifted

All in all, I'd be game for more formations being added, however, that doesn't seem to be high on the priority list.

I'm sure this has been mentioned, but I'd like the ability to select plays for both sides and run my defense vs my offense, a practice play button or something like that. Limit it to a few clicks a day for each time so that it doesn't eat up too many resources.

are any of these going to ever get added?

http://goallineblitz.com/game/forum_thread.pl?thread_id=1891008

this one is named after the idea, that one won't get as many suggestions

This forum is better suited for ideas. The other is specific to one idea, this has many.

Business:

It would be nice to set the offense formation you are trying to create a play for. Not just the lineman but all players. If I'm desiging a play for the Pro Set, I want to be able to see the Pro Set on the screen.

this for sure

OP should add this as well

Super easy addition that will save a lot of time for the agents who can't remember which WRs are what...

WR1.... WR3..... LT.....LG.....C.....RG.....RT.....TE..... WR5.....WR4....WR2

Could even add this to the CBs but those are a little easier to figure out.

Add to the Defensive Depth Chart formation a LDE and RDE drop down menu. So we can choose in which formation or in certain situations where we can plug a guy in to have greater success.

still waiting on blitz directions or abilty to draw our own blitz pathing...also waiting on stunting...any word on these?
