I totally agree with all your points.
I hate how they have Def & Forward lines for the PP. Should just be PP1 & PP2. I use 1-3-1. The player on the left wall is the LD. So dumb! Would also be nice to allow me to chose who takes the draw, especially when you have more than 1 center on your PP 1, which 98% of teams do.
Great point about PP units. I don't know any teams that break down PP units into off and def positions either, rather first and second units with PP positioning, it's its own thing. Depending on dot positioning in the EA game, your QB swing man (usually the d man) lines up out of position too. Again, I don't think this a complete overhaul of the game, just some tweaks that would better represent the game it is emulating. Adding a little more depth to the strategy in the game would go a long way.
💯
How awesome would it be to have the ability to actually go in and edit your PP? Like actually be able to place your players exactly where you want them. They’re and have been blatantly out of position for years in this game with respect to handedness and proper positioning for a 1-3-1 PP. A prime example of this is Draisaitl. IRL he’s down low near the goal line. In the game he’s always way to high, up near the blue line.
