It reads as someone with direct knowledge who knows what they are talking about. As I stated I didn't mean to pile on, I just want to know where you stand because when you go to these CDs you are the voice of the community. And we've seen what kind of sway you guys can have as evidenced by TNT's epic college paper and interactions with devs that directly led to the removal of the vision cone.

I would not consider myself very good with the sticks, more of a call your play, hike it and throw guy.. I will occasionally user catch and user pick but it is not featured in my strategy.

I enjoyed the game thoroughly and felt i could be effective without having to user intervene at times. I was very competitive in the User v User games we had in the tournament too... i kept the game close most of the time and won a few.

To get a lil wishlisty but in addition to tuning player movement, is it possible to tie in players being manually moved out of position, with other defenders changing their assignments? Meaning, I think there is currently some element of this in the game where if the offense shifts or motions, defenders change assignments. So considering that and the new zone swapping, can that be utilized to penalize "free lancing"/ad libbing, by effecting the other players near them? So if I User the Safety in a Cover 2 man and manually bring him down to the LB level, that effects the LBs assignments because they have no idea whats going on.

I think it reads more complicated than what I am advocating for which is basically having the risk of assignment swapping whenever defenders are manually moved all over the field, not respecting their play call assignments and confusing others.

I have a love/hate relationship with User Catch. My DB's hate me when I go for the pick and blow a play

And who was over Fight Night Champion ? Cam Weber......

So I take everything at face value until the retail version come out. Over the years I seen it happen way too many times. People say the game excellent.....come retail version, the build has been changed and all the stuff they had seen prior to retail either never made it to retail or it got watered down so much that it is ineffective.

My sentiments exactly! Only reason posted an impressions blog was to satisfy those that throw a fit when we don't provide them with something after the events. In all seriousness I just put a ton of pressure on myself... That being said I'm a big boy I can handle it.

Updated rosters, all I can really say is many of the browns rookies play well to my strengths and give me a leg up on my annual rebuilding lol.

I assure you that you can put THAT fear specifically to rest. That has no bearing on how they make the game.

Hope not. If so, for me, it would be a no buy. I know that sounds extreme but I really have zero desire to user anything. I also most times set up auto passing ala a coach mode...
