-Greater ratings disparity between teams. Way, way, way too much parity. Nonsensical season results for teams. Would perhaps fix the issue with absurd upset rates
-by virtue of that, greater ratings disparity of players. Way too many players end up in the high 90s after several years of recruiting. And every single team is loaded up with players in the 80s.
My idea:
95+ truly rare generational talent
90s reserved for all-american caliber talent
80s P5 all conference caliber
70s most p5 starters, G5 all conference
60s p5 reserves, most G5 starters
50s G5 reserves
-fix the stat engine. Way too pass heavy/run poor. 20 QBs end the year with 4000 yards, while there's only a handful of 1000 yard rushers?
-defensive stays too. Leading tackler in the country should have more than 90 tackles. Also, DL don't even show up in the defensive stat leaders. Whoops.
-separate scouting and recruiting budgets. Love the gem feature, and that it truly matters. But you can't afford to spend points on recruiting and scouting if you wanna be able to close.
-too many 4* recruits in the pool. No one brings in 35 4*s in a class
-school ratings/pitches are way too volatile. Particularly coaching style and champ contender. Seems dumb that I get locked out of all my DB recruits the second I have a bad game in pass defense
-ability to set the recruiting board and let CPU take over, auto-assigning unused points, visits and such. Sucks that it's either CPU sets the whole board, or you have to do everything.
-can we please uncap the coach levels? You've got a decent skill tree setup, let us play with it more
-career and sandbox modes. Would love to be able to just mess around with unlimited coaching skill points and tinker a bit, but that's probably just me
