What we needed, and I've made numerous suggestions about already, is the copy/paste ability.
The user defines his/her own outputs on a separate page and names them, this can even use the current interface about formation distance receiver, etc. Just then you save it, name it, and instead of re-entering all of the info every single time you want inside run singleback HB2, you just pull "inside SB power" from a drop down menu and move on.
So next to each spot you name your current outputs can be a pulldown, to select something you've already made. Or, you can just select (unnamed) or something, which of course would be the default when you click "new output." Then if you select a premade such as inside SB power, you still can edit the settings like normal - when you do, it just changes the pulldown from the name to (unnamed) again.
This way, you could also make a slight change to "inside SB run" on the premade settings page, and it would auto-update across everything.

Somebody made a post about using basic settings, but that doesn't fully optimize what an OC wants to do.
For example, if you want HB pass block 100% on TE medium plays, and TE pass block 100% on all other medium plays, what is your basic settings? Then what if you want no pass block on short plays, and all pass block on long plays? Good luck.
As it is, if you have 20 inputs, each with HB/WR/TE short/med/long that is 9x20 = 180 outputs you have to manually change the pass block assignments game by game. Boy, would that be nice to make 9 changes on the "premade output" page, to short TE, .... , long WR and it would just fill all the way down your settings.

This doesn't give OCs more options, it simply allows for a better interface to USE the options put in place. If we want to discuss new options, that's another thread of discussion I'm sure.
An additional idea on interfacing:
-turn on/off your inputs
(its annoying to have to adjust the settings, move them down, etc., something lame to make sure they don't come up, then remember to move it back. WHy not just turn it off for a game?)
-drag/drop inputs
(again, its annoying making a new input, then clicking 50+ times at HUGE LAG to get it to the bottom)
Combining these two ideas:
a new page that simply lists your inputs by the way you named them. Then you can click up/down like depth chart to change their order, and click "update." This obviously updates their order on the main tactics page, but it would probably make things go much, much faster.
