This isn't in this year, but I do like the ideas. I'll note them and forward them to Josh.

As far as I know, visual dynamic attendance won't be in this year. I'd love to see this as well, but to my knowledge there are reasons why this can't be added in.

I'm not privy as to why, but if I were to guess, I'd say the NFL wouldn't be too pleased with half full stadiums. These licenses are tricky things these days.

I'll try to discuss what I can. What are you looking for in regards to injuries?

Off/Def Coordinators are NOT in this year. I think they really want to do it at some point, but not in for 25. This was something some of us pushed for and we've already had a ton of internal feedback in hopes of getting it added in the future.

How about training camp and an improved draft?

# 66 volstopfan14 @ 05/20/13 09:43 PM

Is there anything that can be done as a head coach that can not be done as an owner?

Also, when hiring and firing coaches are there any real coaches in the free agent pool to choose from?

# 67 DarnellP21 @ 05/20/13 09:49 PM

In player mode can we actually get hurt this year?

As far as I know, no. Owner Mode is sort of a 'God' Mode which allows you control over everything. They have control over everything a coach would.

No worries, man.

I don't personally have an answer for this in my notes, but I'll get on this first thing in the morning and get back to you ASAP.

Just thought of one more question.

Will CPU teams relocate or build new stadiums?

Thanks for answering these.

# 71 Graffititech @ 05/20/13 11:11 PM

Finally, been waiting so long. I see that all uniforms are pre determined, is there an option to customize the uniform yourself or no? and is there an option to change teams home uniforms within the franchise?

In a nutshell has anything that you know of been done to the injury system from last year? There was a mention of real refs being scanned into the game months ago, is there any change to the penalty system?

There are a few things here that I'm not sure if I can speak on yet, but I do know they've tuned injuries. From what I understand, there will be less season ending issues this year, but more moderate injuries such as 4-6 weeks in length etc.

I know last year the injuries were either really severe or non-existent. I do know that system has had some work.

As for penalties, again, something else that was still getting tuned, I did definitely see more blocking in the back and clipping penalties. Looked as if it was related more to physics, meaning I could actually see them happen in real time and made sense.

I will be touching on some of this stuff both positive and some issues I'm still worried about in an article later this week.

I believe Ratings are still a no. If there is one flaw with an always connected Franchise, this is probably the major one. Don't know how they would get this in as its currently designed.

As for everything else, edits are back in, especially the dreaded jersey numbers.

It never came up in my play sessions and I can't confirm right now, but this is something I'll ask once I get a hold of someone tomorrow.

I do know that San Francisco has their new stadium in there, so in year 2, they should be in a new stadium no matter if they're User or CPU.

The uniforms are pre-determined but there was a very good reason for doing so. I don't want to give away all of the surprises, but let's just say that a lot of care and thought went into EACH city and team possibility. This includes the uniforms. You will still be able to mix and match the away pants with the home tops etc. though.

A lot has been done to progression this year, I know that. Especially in regards to age. I saw running backs regress heavily after the age of 30, and team roster AI is much better as well. For instance, I saw Michael Turner drop 8 points after year one and no one wanted to pick him up. The regression in relation to age is different for each position. Meaning QB's shouldn't regress at 30 like RB's do.

You'll also see some players get rewarded for breakout seasons. I thought what they've done to progression was really solid, at least in the builds I played.

If you look at the team select screen from playbook 3 you can see Derek Anderson,yes the less than mediocre backup for the Panthers,rated overall 80.That's not very promising.By that screen ratings look way too high Jimmy Claussen at 74 isn't good either.

While I am guessing they will, I hope the CPU teams have a significant "predisposition" to retain the same name, or bring back a old one - Oilers - I really don't want to see Brooklyn Beats in my NFL fantasy world - perhaps an option to "lock" CPU teams into their names at the very least - If I gotta fly to London and play the Crumpets I am gonna lose my freaking mind.
