Instead of having all this things we can change during a game, have a bar there that dictates the type of style your team will play with. For example, PSU has traditionally been a bend but don't break defense in some or many years. There bar would be more towards conservative, where a team like Florida State would probably be more towards the aggressive side. I think I would like a slider bar for this and not just one or the other. Give people the chance to tune it to their liking. That would remove the ability to say "OK guys, I want you wrap up this tackle a little better" or "I need you guys to jump this snap here". While I have used these adjustments I do think they could be removed and replaced with this type of slider. Maybe even make that new slider available in the play calling screen, so that on a 3rd and 17 you can play to keep the ball in front of you to force a punt. Or on 4th and 1 you can slide it all the way up and tell you guys to go all out on this big play.
Sure we all want our CPU guys to play this way every down, but we also know that just doesn't happen. CPU AI just doesn't do a great job at recognizing the down and distance and flow of the game at times so this may or may not be a good way to get rid of something that many don't like and yet still give users a chance to decide how aggressive they want their team to play.
I dunno though, just throwing it out there to spark more conversation as well.
