ideas for small changes that i'd love

October 22, 2014 at 07:03PM View BBCode

every so often I run across (what seems like) a fairly minor thing that would increase my enjoyment more than the (seeming) amount of work they would require. here's a few:

1) Fullback runs: I hate them. most of the time, my FB is there because he's a good blocker, not a good runner. I'd love an option to turn this off/on depending on what my FB can do. same with the QB.

2) Nickel auto passdefend vs Shotgun: with the new changes, defences no longer default to a pass defence when the opposition lines up in shotgun. this makes sense with teams being able to run in shotgun. but there are still some teams who pass exclusively from shotgun and who run exclusively from pro/I and now those teams are harder to defend than they used to be. I don't think this is an intentional thing, so I'd love the ability to turn this on/off. a simple toggle in the prefs that says something like "if the offence lines up in shotgun and I have a run defence called, 'remain the same' or 'change to deep zone/man to man' instead" would be great. a reverse toggle for pro/I into run defences would be awesome too.

3) Position group overrides on the draft board: this is an old one for me. I don't know how many times I would like to draft a couple of OL but there are players at each position I like. so I can set C/G/T to 1 each and risk getting 3 or set one of those positions to zero and risk getting none. what I'd like is to be able to set each of those positions individually and them have an override that says "Total OL 0/1/2/3/4". I'd love the same ability for DL as well. even for DB would be awesome.

4) Split draft positions: this is an extension of item 3. HB/FB and FS/SS are completely different positions with completely different skills. there are lots of times I could use one but don't need the other (ie my FB needs replacing but I'm set at HB). again, I'm forced to set my position numbers and hope for the best. but if I set RB to 1 and I get a HB first, I won't then get a FB. if I set it to 2 I might end up with two FB, which I rarely if ever want. being able to split these positions would make for a nicer draft experience.

5) Position switches: I know this is high up on chris' list, but I'd love to have the ability to change a player's position at the beginning of the season, or coming out of the draft. there's no reason for [url=http://football.simdynasty.com/player.jsp?id=2804904]guys like this[/url] to be listed at CB, for instance. the system does a pretty good job but once in a while it would be nice to be able to do it manually, or for a change to happen automatically over time. (granted, this is not a 'minor' change)
