It looks like the Nickels and Dimes received SOME attention but those just look like additions to zone blitzes.

Kickers definitely have a weaker leg this year whether it be to adjustments to the kicking game or due to the ratings spread or both.
Hopefully the defensive playbooks get some love next year. Although I maintain that updated playbooks throughout the year would make a great premium DLC offering, and would be one thing that I would legitimately be willing to pay for.

I'm glad to hear that kickers have been toned down. For the last couple of years it has been way too easy to knock in 55+ yard field goals, which dramatically changes the complexion of the game in terms of field position, particularly in end of half/game situations.
