Don't you think you would reserve judgment until at least the offseason? I mean that's when the rubber really meets the road on this new feature and it sounds to me like you haven't made it there yet. I haven't either and that's really what I'm waiting for before I decide whether it was well implemented or not.

Also, you mention that you don't feel connected with the rest of the team but in reality what did you/could you expect? If you choose to be a coordinator to start out, how could you expect to get connected to a side of the ball you have no control over? I suppose having an option to watch the game (or highlights) from while the other side was on the field would be one way. What did you expect?

As for making decisions to go for it on fourth down, I do believe I was in a position to do this the other day as we were near the end zone and my offense was still on the field. Wouldn't you take that as the vote of confidence from the HC to go for it? If you get exited out to the sim screen then you would consider that the opposite.

Also, I have kicked field goals in this mode and punted so that is some connection to the special teams.
