The way that defensive players can close out so fast from so far away on your receivers and running backs is really unrealistic.

I absolutely love this game! My only minor concern is that in the playoffs, players don't gain condition during the weeks that they aren't playing in.

It was a really fun game. I ended up playing 3.5 seasons. I have to put it away now. The biggest con for me is the pass interference. I like to pick challenging teams to work with and since my players are constantly being wrestled by the defense it makes the passing game very frustrating at times. Another con is that it often appears as though the ball bounces off the ground, but the defender still intercepts it. Some nice improvement would be to have an easier play change/choice feature and better game credit system to purchase free agents and staff. Changing plays is not terrible, it's just tideous. It would great to have an easier way to thumb throw types of plays or even make a playbook. It takes a very long time to accumulate enough credits to buy new staff and free agents. IT would also be nice to see how staff affect the players individually. Like, some staff are better for passing game, others for running, others average, etc. Great game overall though, 5/5 for sure.

Great game. I would like a little more time to play each quarter. Seems to go by too fast. I would like more than one solid possession per quarter.

My game didn't save, I can't find a save option anywhere. Well that was a few hours of my life down the bloody drain.

Would be nice to add a "skip game" option. After a while it gets pretty boring to score 5-8 touchdowns every game against a team that really has no chance against my 5/5 star team.
Give that option a pessimistic chance to win if you like. As long as a 5/5 team should win every time against a 2/3 one.

What was changed during update? The passing game is complete crap again, doesn't matter if you have maxed speed wr or not. If it was intentionally changed it was a mistake.

Always go for 2 pt conversions. If you don't get it, computer treats it like a regular turnover and opponent has to start from the 2 yd line

If only my teams defensive backs were as good as literally every other team's DB after year 1. They intercept everything, never miss a tackle, and catch my players from behind no matter how far back they are. Not to mention, my star RB gets completely gassed after one juke move. Y1 was fun but the mechanics are broken in subesequent seasons.

that moment when at the end of season 7 start of 8 the salary cap does not go up. there goes my dream of saving up my coach credits and one year buy an all star team.

hellsystem666: the blue line is where the ball starts. the yellow line is what you have to pass to earn a new first down. if on a 4th down you don't get past it the other team gets the ball

JohnnyRebX: having stronger receivers can help but the best way is to make sure your receiver is wide open and then aim the ball even further away from the opposing players so your receiver has to move even further away from them to catch the ball.

looks like the kicker is considered to be part of the defensive team for the purpose of coaches (mine got a level from an "experienced" coach)

OMG the pass interference!!!
I can't imagine how hard coding a game like this is, but the DPI is infuriating: I have a WR about 10 yards down, set up a throw, and then he is grabbed and put down on the field. Had two interceptions that way.
Maybe there is something that could be done, cut down on this or something? Really screws with the offensive flow of the game

similarlly to the 0 starts nuclear ghandi defence, there is this 1 start ofense that scored a touchdown in the start of the match against my 5 start defence...

Is it me, or does it seem like if a pass goes anywhere near a defending player, it is intercepted? I would guess I average 15-16 interceptions per game. I could understand the pass going incomplete, but when they score on every interception, starts getting frustrating and annoying after a season. Outside of that, great game! Really enjoy it!

why does the quality of draft players significantly degrade over seasons? is it intentional and meant to increase difficulty? if so, it doesn't; just forces one to play more safely, hence grinding. besides, finding good players or at least players with high potentials is one of the biggest factors that make the game fun. i haven't had a 3* QB for three seasons. =/

I just played a game where I threw 9 interceptions, looked like each time the receiver was knocked down or wrestled with as soon as my QB threw the ball.

Fun game but really need to do something about the defensive pass interference. It's pretty absurd and really brings the game down.

Sometimes, the opposing team sits in the middle of the line of scrimmage and my quarterback, and instead of sacking my quarterback, he does nothing. Rate this up so that the developer can see it!

One other thing, my defense misses tackles and lacks strength way too much.
That isn't a thing in the nfl, so it shouldn't be a thing in this game.
