Blocking: please fix pass blocking and run blocking. Blockers will ignore mdm or assignments to either stand around or go after a defender who is out of the play. Please allow for more customization in double teams like how long the double team will be engaged before advancing onto the next assignment. Make pass protection easier to set by allowing settings in pre play similar to stunts and twists for defense.
aggressive catch: aggressive catches in recent football games suck really bad. There’s no point in having a contested specialist receiver because they will never make the contested catches. Half the time the receivers don’t even attempt the aggressive catches. Madden 20 did it well but people thought it felt too scripted. I’m not saying make it feel more scripted, or that aggressive catches need to be a guarantee, but receivers need to do a better job of stacking defenders and attempting to make back shoulder/contested passes. Maybe having a good balance between physics and animations would solve this problem.
presentation: presentation can start to feel dry in dynasty after a while. I recommend adding in podcasting and pregame presentations that will show expert picks and upset alerts and even more. I want the game to feel real and experience the passion that goes into every game. I also want a playoff selection show added in to make the playoff picture more exciting. I could probably add more but I don’t want to be too nit-picky, just be creative and make dynasty presentations more dynamic to promote a realistic experience.
more dynamic off season: off season feels like a chore of just mashing buttons. It doesn’t feel like it matters. Place in some optional mini games that can help boost player development if we do well in them. Add a spring game where we can get to know our new roster before the season. Also make it so we can enter practice mode and do scrimmages, 7v7, team, offense/defense, or position groups so we can start to understand our playbook better. Also in practice let us choose a new play after every play automatically so we don’t have to go to the menu to pick a play. Also make the qbs non contact where the defense will get a sack or tackle for getting close to the qb.
dynamic playcalling: right now, coach suggestions suck because it feels like the same 10 plays. The cpu also sucks at play calling logic and decision making in critical moments. Please improve this so coach suggestions are more flexible and the cpu decision making is smarter.
coaching carousel: coaching carousel sucks really bad right now. Make so more openings are available to us and also add in position coaches. Also when coaches leave for other schools some players from the previous school should automatically transfer or enter the portal with a mass exodus of players who will mostly all follow their coach to the new team. Maybe few players will follow coordinators or position coaches (if you add them) as well.
