1) On Field Goals, please add some dressing to make this more dramatic, and just straight up easier to follow -
Please add a graphic, just like "TOUCHDOWN", that simple says "IT'S GOOD!" or "MISSED!" for FGs. I imagine this would take about 5 lines of code to implement. Also add in a call
to the Crowd Cheering function for when you make it.
Ooh, how about this little extra - add a "BOOO" sound when miss.
Implement all of the above for both FGs and Xtra points - add a little excitement to the otherwise most boring play in sports(the xtra point) and its very easy to miss whether your kickef made or missed the PAT att.

2) On kickoffs, pls have players shown on the field, at least at the beginning before the kickoff occurs

3) Is there a way to make play calls more formation appropriate, rather than having to make all sorts of individual playbooks for each team? What I mean is there is an obvious need for separation, for each team, if playing a modern Pro/NFL-style football style of game, in regards to 1st/2nd vs 3rd down. Without this separation, Nickel/Dime defenses are being called too much on 1st down, correspondingly too often Shotgun/4 Wideout plays are being called too much on offense on a not obvious passing down. I can fix this by making special "3rd Down Offense" playbooks, for instance, but this seems like something that should be in the game as a default to save a lot of time.

4) After play results, give us a feature like the old Front Page Sports Football would - have a popup block that lists the full play result, followed by the play called on OFfense vs the play called on Defense; to make it simpler just add the summary of the plays called to the space where play result is already listed if necessary

5) Add Goalline Defenses

6) Add Drive Chart Info - Provide stats for all drives in a game, in particular the one you are currently running; make it something that is easily accessed/obvious to find; perhaps add it to the main/default in-game screen

7) Add Down-specific offensive formations - This one is so basic Id be shocked if it hasnt been discussed on the forums before, so I apologize in advance if im just renewing a convo previously had. So we can have things like specialist "3rd-down backs". lets have formations based on what down it is, rather than just general percentages. That way I can create a formation where my pass-catching, 3rd down RB specialist will be subbed in say 95% of the time, but ONLY on 3rd downs

8) Ability to edit all properties of coaches, including "Attitude" and "Style"

9) I really need something else for the XP, some kind of formation or something. And kickoffs pls it rly makes things too choppy just kind of skipping over those plays

Brooks, any feelings about any of these?
Anyone else like these?
Im surprised no one has said anything about any of them...i think some are pretty good...

Some of these are good and will make it into updates or future versions.

1 & 2 Agreed 100%.
Hoping for the next version will be able to see some Kick/punt Return action in 2D. It's one of the most exciting plays to watch your player run with the ball (unless it's a touchback...). Also I'm hoping for some 2D action when the ball is Intercepted. Again, one of the most exciting plays on field I'd love to be able to watch it unfold in 2D.
As far as the field goals and extra points I'm not sure how would you show goal posts in 2D with ball going through them but for sure it'd be a nice to have it.

Agreed about the Pick 6 situation, although I think I saw somewhere before that this might take a lot more work than you'd think on Brooks' behalf
