Under rating threshold (show) Game's becoming unplayable, starting to freeze more games than I can get through. Playing on hard, typically happens on good passes, usually not competed, but can happen on competed passes too.

Under rating threshold (show) Honestly, I think that you should have the option to play as the defense.

Under rating threshold (show) Are you playing on hard, sphartl1717? For people who are only getting the freezing now, what difficulty are you on (e.g. Dynamic 16?) I only play on hard, get the freezing issue, and I have gotten it in situations where there is no competition for the ball. I'm looking at a frozen screen right now where my bottom TE has no one within five yards of him. The ball traveled about 10 yards in the air. Other settings that may or may not matter: I always play right to left, 3 minute quarters, with 12 man rosters.

Under rating threshold (show) I also have the freezing problem. It seems to occur when I have two receivers in the same area - as if the game freezes when trying to determine who catches the ball. If a defender is also there, it doesn't seem to happen (although this is a small sample size because I try to throw to open receivers).

Under rating threshold (show) Really fun game. Offense is too easy on some of the passing routes though. If one or more defenders could play zone. it would be trickier.

Under rating threshold (show) Really great job devs, I think with a few more updates and balancing it can be really great. I won the Retro Bowl my first year but the next, I missed the playoffs, but great job! Keep it up! I can't wait for badges!

Under rating threshold (show) Only criticism is once I won the Retro Bowl, suddenly my WR's which made great catches (with no trades or retirement) couldn't grab the ball when it knocked them on the side of the head, and to top it off the defense suddenly was everywhere in the backfield with less time for my OLine to do anything. I'm not saying to completely do away with difficulty, but it seems like the rubberbands might be too strong, here.

Under rating threshold (show) freezes in the first half and forces refresh to remedy the problem. only experienced this at the 'hard' difficulty.

Under rating threshold (show) We should have a option where we can escape the defenders as quarterbacks, but you still want to throw the ball.

Under rating threshold (show) Make sure you have a good QB, RB and two good WRs if you want to win. NEVER SWITCH TEAMS, OR YOU GET A GARBAGE TEAM!!!

Under rating threshold (show) I know I mostly have been posting bugs (and I'm still having the occasional freeze as the receiver is about to catch the ball one.), but I do want to say how much I enjoy this game. I still go back and play New Star Soccer from time to time, and this is just as good. A lot of folks are calling for added complexity, which I disagree with. Keep it simple, that's the point. I like the realistic schedules, the skill involved in passing (tip to those concerned with the interceptions: there is a sweet spot for going over the head of a defender that you'll get a feel for, and knowing your guy's route is important; throw where he's going to be when there are no defenders on the path of the throw), and the any given Sunday vibe where a single fumble or interception can turn a game against a 2 star team into a tough fight (I play on hard, which might have something to do with that.

Under rating threshold (show) Also there needs to be a way you can loft the ball. I am getting WAT too many iINT's from a guy that is no where near my receiver but just happens to be in the line of throw. Just adding a toggle button ( space bar) to imitate a loft pass over a regular pass.

Under rating threshold (show) Its really terrible that your backup WR's half maybe a 50% chances at a catch if on the screws and youre lucky. Backup RB runs with a walker that is to say, doesn't run at all. The Backups are close to useless. Also what good is an OL. He doesn't appear to help with the run game, is he helping with pass protection? I can't figure that one out. I appreciate the constant updates and generally see two steps forward one backward sort of progress. Good job.

Under rating threshold (show) Recent development - the game is intermittently freezing on me. It tends to happen within the first 30 seconds or so of a game. Happens about half the time (rough estimate).

Under rating threshold (show) It would be nice if the money cap space increase by like 10 million for every Superbowl win with a specific team and stops at 250 million for 12 player teams and 200 for 10 player teams.More reward for for winning big I think makes sense. But good job on the updates dev

Under rating threshold (show) So I think beside traits coordinators are kinda useless but i think defense coordinates help because they improve your chances of success on defense because its AI.As for offensive coordinators it relays all on you so that doesn't work so maybe as your offensive coordinate levels up you get more freedom to pick and choose between two or three plays. This will give the player more control over the game and make it so the coaches aren't useless. Love the game though

Under rating threshold (show) Coordinators with traits (physio, likeable, etc.) do things. Other than that? Maybe they get you better plays more often? I dunno.

Under rating threshold (show) found a glitch that appears if you pull the cursor back to run just as you're being sacked. your team appears in the endzone and can't make any plays! took a screenshot the second time it happened.

Under rating threshold (show) Lately every other pass I throw is an interception. I'm actually glad that some of them turn into pick sixes since that adds some realism but something was tweaked way too far in favor of opposing DBs.
