Starting a thread for myself here since the first access forum is locked after release.
1. More in-game messages would probably help with information and immersion. A message when a player gets injured or recovers for injury, maybe a weekly injury report telling me who is out, who could play but probably shouldn't, who is good to play now, etc.
2. This could also be added to recruiting. Right now the recruiting "pitch" is just six points split between six different areas, and it's automatic right now which is kinda boring. I think this is an area that has a lot of potential to continue improving the recruiting system, maybe with an on-going effort to learn which approaches will work with which recruits. Could also maybe add in a style of recruiting--some recruits probably like super enthusiastic coaches, some prefer more laid back, some prefer aggressive, etc. This is just me spitballing, but back when I played BBCF a big part of recruiting there is figuring out which pitch to use on a recruit.
