A lot of plays need help. They just simply don't work against any defense. If we can't get them fixed then let's get some new ones already. The user base is dwindling and we need something fresh to get excited about.

More FB outside runs/counters would be great.

Better screens, TE and HB specifically.

How about a WR end around?

Diamond needs more runs and passes for sure.

Maybe some outside GL love again?

No to outside GL plays. I don't want to see teams only use the GL formation, and you know that would happen.

I don't get it. How is that any different than a team using Big I exclusively? Hell you can even pass more than effectively out of that formation.

The GL formation is a joke right now. Imagine having a play that fakes the inside run and you throw to the wide open TE in the flat...

GL could be a lot better. Easy to play defense against it right now because you know exactly what is coming.

How about some improved logic. Have where you can specify or have a defensive player target the running back and not get suckered into continuing to engage the QB.

It makes no sense how a lot of the plays just aren't worth a damm towards their intended purpose. Tired of seeing 3-4 defenders all mindlessly going towards the Qb even though everyone knows he is just going to pitch the football.

Tired of seeing a defense play work towards a pitch out only to see it epic fail towards almost the exact same play on the next snap.

then on the very next play same defense you would think seeing that same formation the defense would play smarter but nope.

Despite having my players put into a good position to stop a running play, nope the corner back back pedals despite not having anyone to cover as the receivers are all on the other side of the field. Even worse is the safety taking himself out of position - on the 1st play he went to go cover a wide receiver on the second play he mindlessly decides to blitz towards the qb even though another player was doing the exact same thing in front of him and had a clear shot.

What is more irksome is that I set up my defensive purposefully to concentrate on stopping the run. What would have been more proper would be for the safety and more defense players to cover the running back especially considering the stats he has and that it takes a hard hit to tackle the fella.

The game is more about how one understands the percentages and exploits than any football knowledge IMO.

It would be nice if you could make it easier for someone to actually call a defense and have where players actually can improvise or get better.

Instead it seems the same plays get ran over and over and over only because they exploit inherent bad programming and logic.

maybe tweak some of the existing ones. There are a lot of pass plays where the timing is off and the fix could be as simple as adjusting the route of a single receiver

since they don't execute very well now, we wouldn't have much to lose if the tweak doesn't improve things
we could nominate plays and the minor change we'd like to see

if we're talking new plays, I think a QB bootleg or sprint-out might be fun, if it worked it would make a scrambling QB more viable

we should never go back to the days of Goal Line, IMO it was a major factor in the decline in enthusiasm for the game

I'm not saying that we bring back QB Rollout or HB Sweep. Just something fresh for the formation.

You ran engage 8 against a toss. What do you expect?

the goalline wasnt the death of anything. they fixed it before the bad dwindle.

I'd say just simply implement a "play flip" like in madden/every football game. Each and every play can be run to both sides, it shouldn't be much for them to add (i would think).

Sounds OP

Maybe some play action pass plays too?

Triple post fail.

It would be hard for the defense to prepare for that. In games like Madden you can see that the formation is flipped before the ball is snapped. In this game their is no way to account for it.
