Plays missing in play creation ?

I might have overlooked it, but I can't find a single End Around play ?
Truly a football game can't function without any play with this so often used in real life, in both college ad pro ?

I tried to create one in custom plays too, but I couldn't find out how ?

I already had my doubts that special teams had no type of fake plays at all. Must be easy to just put in a couple on Punt or FG, since we see this very often in real life. Punt return team should maybe also have the option of going for the block or just "normal" return. It doesn't have to be a millions plays (as Brooks told me earlier) but perhaps a couple run and pass to surprise in certain situation.
I had the believe that the game very much liked to image football as much as possible.

The end around plays were removed since they caused horrific losses pretty much every time. We'll revisit eventually.

I really hope you do. You have put an awful lot of time on the interface, but the heart of the game needs to be trimmed on some levels too. Surely you would agree that a very common play like end around should be in the game and working. So it's back to the programming on the engine, and maybe let the interface and the prettyness of the game put on halt for a version or so.
Think most like better to have a game that really feels like a football game, which I'm sure it will do in a version or two, instead of just have more and more fancy screens and pretty graphic both in-game and in game menues.

Do hope you put some work in the historical section too, that too are most surely high on several players list.
After all the Basketball version got a very good such and why not have those real stats in the football game as it is in the pro basketball version.
Pro Football got a bit to catch up with Wolverines Pro Basketball (if one doesn't just play out with fictional teams and players)

End around and jet sweep plays are a very common facet in today's game. Please add these.
