First a wonder if plays like Jet Sweeps are in now. Some programming glitch in the past (Brooks telling it back then) that broke the game might have been ironed out.
All those plays with a fast WR (like Deebo Samuel) is used more and more these days. Even more so in College. I do hope the game can create a fictional player like Deebo and then whatever AI coach gets hold of him can use him in the manors real life coaches do.
In my book this is essential to have in the game (and the College game)
Perhaps it's hard to have the WR step into the backfield, as Deebo, and perform good runplays. But still that's a thing this game must develop.
Mentioning this ability of a WR subing in as a RB makes a question more towards the College game.
In those early years many players haven't focused entirely on a postion. WR try out RB but also DB and vice versa. Even QBs turns into RB or WR. This should be in the College version to exploit when recruiting or even when the years go on for a player. He might be a 3rd string QB but a starter at WR.
Of course we then got the issue of that former QB turn in a trick play often used. The WR toss for a TD (hopefully)
Another thing I saw at the Twitch feed was Energy levels.
Should that be overall ? Maybe broken down in the different positions. A WR or RB might sub in and out more often (outside packages) than an Offensive Lineman. Those big boys stay in much longer and should perhaps not have the same higher energy left to play.
If that energy level is set to sub players in and out affect the entire team it could get weird subs. Like my QB star getting a bit tired but still wants him to take snaps, while my RB gets a rest with a totally different energy level sat on him.
Now what the heck is Road to MVP ?? A version for those who got kicked out of football programs early in their youth now playing the game or what ?
I've seen this in some other sportgames and it looks ridiculous in some.
One had all the Sims way of thinking. Who you date and who you bed. What you do in your free time, who's your friends, if you got a pet.
What bothers me is that said in Twitchvideo was that it would not "disturb" the old game at all is a doubt in my mind.
Heck you are few people programming this game so every minute you spend on that Sims-version is a minute taken away from the true game.
You keep saying it's all about time on a small team but then you come up with fantasy style that might more belong to the games that go all-in on graphics.
Those games focus more if players got a tattoo on their butt than the detailed game engines. That's something for Road to MVP. "I think I get a tattoo somewhere. but will it mess with my game or make me hotter in the press conference"
Leave this type of playstyle to other games please.
I'm sure I will think up more Qs later on but let see what this stirs up
After all this is the best managergame for American style football and it's getting better I see.
