Idea to improve RTCFP
Each season in RTCFP, have a fan meter that goes up or down, depending on the decisions you make. If you go for it on 4th and long on your own side of the field, the fan meter goes down. If you go for it on 4th and short around midfield and get it, the fan meter goes up. The fan meter encourages better situational decision-making and provides consequences. If the fan meter goes down too much, to zero in the season, your season ends early.
This would make more players consider punting on 4th down, kick field goals, etc. and provide real consequences for poor decisions. It would be cool if the fan base could be seen in the stands too. If the fan meter is high, there is higher attendance and Home Field advantage is better. But if the fan meter goes really low, there are less fans in the stadium and the Home Field advantage isn't as strong.
