Really needs a fix for all the clicking required to filter through plays. or at least a way to differentiate plays. Name/number them at the very least so i can remember which routes i prefer. or even add a favorites. Just something to streamline the play process.

Tipped balls and interceptions are just way too frequent against 1 and 2 star defenses. Also, what's the point of having a highly ranked defense when the opponents score on almost every possession regardless of their offense's rating?

48 game win streak, 8 retro bowls won in a row, all facilities upgrade. Still 99% morale. How do you get the 100% achievement???

Needs dedicated position slots instead of just a random mishmash of positions for 10 total spots on offense and defense.

5 stars in offense, defense, RB, QB, WR a LB and a tackle. Still can't win a game anymore due to interceptions and fumbles. Need to loosen up the AI a little bit.

Has anybody figured out what morale does for any of team/coach/player? Even Toxic doesn't seem to really do anything.
It seems it is more a product of winning rather and an input to winning.

Stopped playing because the pass interference was too bad, came back hoping that it was fixed and now stopping again because opponents defense literally uses the gravity gun from Half-Life 2 to grab the ball out of the air for an interception. Plus even 5 star catchers are bobbling the ball around like it's burning their skin and then watching it fall to the ground.

there is a problem at colision calculation if two or more own players are at same place to catch the ball they disturb each other and the ball will jump around and that cause a lot of interceptions, ok that could happen but not at this rate.

I understand the complaints about the update but I actually like the enhancements. It makes you read the defense and lead receivers. While the drop rate is definitely up, the same is true for a real football team. A+ The only recommendation I have is to add xtra experience for 2 pt conversions.

I started playing this game 3 weeks ago and I enjoyed every bit of it until now. I have to run every play because if I try to pass its gonna get picked off, and because the defense can't seem to get a stop at all, I have to start passing the ball, which always gets picked off. I enjoyed this game but if it doesn't get patched soon, I cant see myself enjoying it anymore

Used to be fun, but interceptions got pushed too far the other way. If there is a defender anywhere remotely close to the ball now, it gets picked off.

There are simply too many interceptions. Don't know what else to say. They should not be able to intercept that frequently and that easily.

Which coach gives the trait where your defense literally sucks the ball out of the air for an interception because my opponents all seem to have it.

hold on hold on, I have to LBs but is the DL who is missing continuosly the tackles for the opponent team can make 50yd touchdown?

I wish that receivers dropped the ball instead of bobbling. It would punish you for having bad receivers, but not in an extreme way like right now where my five star receivers still bobble the ball five times until a defender comes and gets a diving catch.

I agree that the "old" AI was too easy and didn't get nearly enough interceptions, and as some people have pointed out, it was too easy to just go for the long ball on every play. With the new setting, I like that I have to spread the ball around, read the defense and find the open receiver (in other words, run the WCO as woodardr pointed out). That part of the game is fun. What isn't fun is getting intercepted every time the ball goes near a defender. My suggestion would be to change all the "new" interceptions to incompletes. That would keep the challenge of finding the open receiver without making it so painful when you don't play perfectly.

This is a good level of difficulty now. I'm killing the teams I should kill, and I'm having even battles with the teams I'm even with. I know when I throw a ball that's clearly interceptable. And the defenses are varied enough that I have to make decisions on where the ball should be passed - I can't just pick one play and know what's going to happen.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
The new interception ability of AI defenders is really out of whack. Playing against a 1.5-star defense I get intercepted what feels like every third pass attempt.
I suppose if I'm going to complain about this, I should say that this game has been incredibly fun up to this point and I've tremendously enjoyed it. But the current interception-happy AI really kills the fun.

The update over-improved the defense and rendered the game unplayable. Sad. I enjoyed it but now will go back to some stupid idle game.

Goodness. Its like the game is actually difficult now and everyone doesn't want to play any more - really?
God forbid you can't throw a deep ball and win every matchup now. Change your strategy and you'll be fine. Its actually a game now where you can't win by just drafting a good QB with a huge arm and a speedy WR and call the same play every time.
Pro Tip: Try actually throwing the ball in the middle of the field, or using the HB swing pass to overcome the lack of side-stepping
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
the new update is bad i dont even want to play it anymore it makes me so mad. and i can barely throw a ball as quarterback without getting picked of or sacked. and the side stepping was literally the whole game, and you nerfed it are you kidding me how the hell am i gonna win a retro bowl now i will delete your game on my phone if you don't change it back. please change it back.

Of course I love this game I got almost my whole school in to it. I have won 9 retro bowls. Then this massive update comes in to ruin it all. Sidestepping, it was so fun its not like its gonna ruin your company or something actually no one is gonna play it no more because you ruined the fun. and also the interception rate is massive for the other teams defense and I can't throw one long pass without getting sacked with in 2 seconds whats even the point of the game anymore. Like the new good updates like less pass interference and you can do the little coach name thing and quarters but its like ok but we need that stuff back. Me and all my friends are annoyed by this. PLEASE SIREAD CHANGE IT BACK FOR GOD SACK PLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEASE

The update made my max catch players bobble every few passes and the defense has seriously sticky hands. I no longer have time to run deep routes because the defense is also much faster. I enjoyed the game a lot more before this update; not sure I'm going to continue playing as is.

The old pass interference was at least a bit predictable and it didnt really feel random. The pass mechanics feel really random now. I have great catch stats and wide open receivers bobbling balls to three defenders every drive. Ive tried quite a few games and now I don't really want to play anymore

had a five star to this game previously, loved it. whatever changes recently occurred have made the game terrible. i'm out.

Fantastic game! Love it. Been playing for a few weeks and I like most of the new changes you made. I would love to offer a bit of feedback.
- the interception rate I think is just a bit too high, it needed to be higher but ..
- It would be so much fun to be able to work the defensive side also, either just calling the plays or actually controlling people but its fun to build a monster defense and a shame you never get to see them in action.
-I feel that the change to lateral movement might also have been too much. Somewhere between where it was and where it is now in my humble opinion.
-An option to "manage" only would be fun. Draft and build the team then either sim or watch them play.
Just my 2 cents. Love the game, reminds me of the ol' tecmo bowl days :) Thank you!

Opponents defense consists of T-1000's that are able to run down my Max Speed and Max Stamina receiver even when their defense is 1 star.

yay perfect saison, for all complaining about paasing i di it with allmost all pass. the defence cant handle the screan pass to the RB or comebac runs from WR. ok i played 9 saison (won 4 w. different teams) to handle most of the patterns or at leasst to find the ones i like, so keep playing ull see how it works. ther is only one thing i could "complain" the pattern search is a pain to click so offten to find a good one. still 5 stars
