Oooh some of those sound good that I haven't + yet

I believe one of those would fall into the category of NGTH:

+17 - Earn Superstar Credit while having Superstars

That one falls into the realm of "the business" instead of "the game". I hope I'm wrong because I'd love to be able to replace my current superstars immediately after retiring them but I don't think I am.

I would view it as positive business. It could very well lead to people making players to keep thus boosting. If this is the case it would potentially draw in more money then agents making 1 n done players to retire and potentially lose some customer base while they wait almost 2 months for their superstar to become unlocked.

Come on Bort!

Exctly. If I could, I would create several new players right now to fill up my super star bars so I could make new SS when my current ones retired. As it works now, if I decide to stop playing the game before I retire my current SSs, I will not make the new guys.

you will make them a season later then...really, there is no point of doing it or not doing it business wise imo

There's the emotional attachment of the user to the game. Specially if the user considers this suggestion would be fair, therefore he would spend the season waiting for his S* to load frustrated and the potential to leave the game increases.

Since there's no easy way to search this forum, I was wondering if there's a preferred way for us to suggest adding plays to an already existing formation?

Some formations total list of the current blitz plays are about as uncreative as you can get. To the point where I don't even want to use the formation.

Create the play in GLB1 and take a screenshot. Post it here.

Ah, that's a nice feature. Already see some interesting alignment variations that would be very useful, especially against outside run plays. Such as something like this:

But the blitz customization there is still crappy. If you set a linebacker to blitz, he's stuck with one path. Straight ahead. You can't exactly tell them to do a double A/B gap blitz on the strong or weak side.

The 3-2-6 formation doesn't have any good linebacker blitzes, or any real variety in blitzes period. But it has a Safety and Linebacker blitzing the A/B gaps on the left side (Double Safety Go). Why is there no blitz where the linebackers switch gaps?

Something like this would be more useful than just both the MLB ramming into the LG and the LOLB ramming into the RG:

You want something that forces the o-line to actually use their pass block awareness and physicals. Other blitzes are linebackers crisscrossing over a single Guard/Centers face. Lots of opportunities for a lineman to fail awareness checks and pick up the wrong blitzer.

Seems like common sense:

I understand that Chase Down Artist is available for every D spot, and Quick Reaction is available only for DE and DT's. But then maybe Chase Down Artist should just be removed from DE and DT's. Seems like it would only penalize new players that don't really know what they're doing with their FREE players yet.

Either that, or for DE's and DT's Chase Down Artist should get a buff. Maybe add a reduction to Diving or something.
