Nice write-up Jayrah! Good to see you back.
The gameplay does appear to be moving in the right direction and I give them credit for that. The OL/DL line interaction still looks off but I'm sure it will get better moving forward. The KILLER for this game continues to be the complete lack of immersion in CFM. Frankly put, after two or so seasons your are bored to tears... nothing stands out; nothing feels different.
Presentation and connection to the mode:
1. Weekly Wrap-up Show
2. Score ticker
3. NCAA styled in-game updates (this would be an excellent addition)
4. dynamic attendance... not every stadium should be full every game
5. Home field advantage
6. Being able to change the cpu's uniform
7. Spectator mode (watching cpu vs cpu)
8. A playable pro bowl
9. Real coordinators and a quasi coaching carousel ala NCAA 14
10. Practise squad
11. restricted free agency
12. player personality and it's relation to playing time (contract hold outs, demanding a trade, etc.)
13. more and better stat banners
Game related:
1. Formation Subs... inexcusable not to be in the game.... again!!!
2. Custom packages
3. Play Creator
4. Special teams overhaul
The one area 2k has always had it over EA is the overall connection to the franchise experience. When I play 2K games I am tied into everything. When I play Madden I feel like I am in "play now" pretty much every game of the season. Addressing this would go a long way in getting me to play the game longer.
