I'm going to honestly try to make this at least a weekly thing. If there isn't a new one posted by June 24th, PM me and bug me about it
Only 4 Major Topics this time, but 3 of them are pretty huge topics, and are pretty much getting all of our attention.
░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░Major Topics and Additions░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░
#1 - Biggest Topic is obviously talking about the DE/OT interaction after the changes that Bort put in after the offseason. There's a fairly general consensus that we're at least CLOSE to where we want to be. Some think it's too low, some think it's too high, but we all think it's close.
#2 - Sometime this season the number of scrimmage slots is going to double, as Bort moves the scrimmages to their own dedicated server. Also talking about some other options to help the major tournament coordinators plan their stuff.
#3 - I'm working with the Offensive Coordinators forum to try to get some new plays added into the playbook. I had them all make some plays and submit them, and I'm in the process of organizing it all now, then we'll start some discussion on which ones to use. Not sure on the timeframe of when these will be put in, just know that we're working on it.
#4 - A LOT of talking about the major upcoming project, being able to turn retiring players into coaches. Mostly based around these two different suggestions:

└Blitzers not picking up on handoffs or QB runs (general consensus is that it is failed vision checks)
└High level CPU players in low-level capped leagues
└Players running out of the back of the endzone
└Coverage on high hang time/short punts
└FB blocking logic a little off, especially for fast FBs
