A new interview today on Operation Sports with the Assistant Producer of the game. Here are the highlights to me:
- Every coach will have his own specific playbook.
- We can develop our own formations, plays, play groups, and game plans.
- Owners will have different personalities and will demand different things and have different goals that they expect their head coach to meet.
- Assistant Coaches can be hired away by other teams, particularly if your team does well.
- You don't see any player ratings by default. You need to scout players repeatedly to narrow down their range in a variety of ratings. Your scouting director will give you a more detailed report on guys that were scouted once the combine ends.
- (I know we've heard a bit of this before): Vastly improved AI in regards to drafting, trading, and signing FA's. Each GM will have his own philosophy about players and this will affect each team's FA moves, drafting, and trading and provide variation in what each team pursues!
- No green bar in FA signings. Now you have to talk to agents and make them an offer and they will give you feedback once the deal is made. Lowball a guy, and he might stop negotiating with your club!
- Simulated stats are being "tuned" right now to be as realistic as possible.
- Record keeping for both players and coaches in a season and career.
A bad point - No Printing, not even on the PC version.
