Made a small change this week...

I know I am coming to this party late...

I don't mind not having a pre-play menu as long as there is something either in the book or a place to find the pre-play menu functions, unless you aren't changing that at all.

It (the CPU) should do that without a gimmicky 'weapon'.

The only thing you see is the score bug (which has been redesigned from 09 btw and I think pretty much everyone will dig it). But before we ship it like that...what do you guys think? Do you prefer it that way? Do you use the pre-play menu? For our mass amount of buyers, do you think they need the helpers like the icons, weapons, pre-play menu, etc?

When in doubt, keep it simple and put the final decision into the hands of the USER...Ive said this with uniform selections and Ill say it now for all these other gimmicky features...some people love them ..others do not.....let us decide

PUT THE DECISION IN THE HANDS OF THE USER (CUSTOMER$$$)

Icons can go. A simple button press to bring up options such as audibles and adjustments would suffice.

I feel a more in depth scouting report(and teams playing like their real life counterparts) would make more sense than icons. For example: The Steelers are really aggressive in their 3-4 scheme. Edge rushers Harrison and Woodley are stars in the front seven. Run screens and draws to slow down their pass rush.

Also, I'd like to see unit rankings. Sometimes the whole is greater than the sum of it's parts. i.e. the Broncos for years didn't necessarily have dominant individuals on their offensive line but, as a unit they were very cohesive and always had a really good running game.

Turn all that junk off and replace it with an obscene amount of stat overlays.

See this is beautiful...All of us want the kind of presentation that makes us feel like we are there at the game and all the weapon icons would just clutter the crap out fo the game anyway. Honestly I would rather the weapons be more of a signiture attribute than a play determining factor
