Just realized I was taking Travis Kelce off the field half the time in my hurry up packages.

Terrible coaching. We should be 3-0.

I know I'm preaching to the choir a bit here, but I really think you can solve that with a bit more active gameplay.

Activate the trade-desk in-season so guys can address issues on their roster as the season progresses. Give some pre-season games so we can experiment with packages/formations/players to see what works.

And for the love of god, give us halftimes. It would double the amount of actual gameplay we get and adjustments we can make.

I believe there have already been several requests for a little more 'fog of war' be lifted. Thinks like knowing the formations on plays or who's bringing pressure and/or making a tackle.

There's just so little we know about what's going on in those games. I can't tell you if I'm running the ball well out of single back formations or with a FB on the field. I can't tell you if my spread packages are working or even 11 personnel apart from the times that my #3 WR gets the occasional catch. Which doesn't really mean much if that same package is opening up my #1 or #2 guys on the plays where THEY'RE making catches.

With so little actual 'gameday' decisions to make and even less that we can use to inform those decisions, it's kinda tough to really get yourself into the minutiae here. And the kind of person this will appeal to is someone that really wants to get bogged down in that stuff.

Otherwise just sim games on your Madden franchise.

I've been keeping an eye on sandbox simulations because I think it's a really interesting idea... It seems like a lot of people are wanting this game to become more and more like the NFL Head Coach game EA put out years back. I wonder if CD/Rain Man really wanted to go in that direction or not.

Deep dive into the stats this week. Gameplanning hard for the #1 defense.

I'm just having visions of Rain Man and CD having the 'Mr. Skin' conversation from "Knocked Up" right now...

Its #1 by luck only. I don't even really know what I'm doing.

Is that a problem? You can build your draft board and put it on autodraft if you need to.

Sometimes it takes a while to get the click and drag to kick in. Not sure why. I thought mine wasn't working, but I moved one guy and held him for a while and he eventually dropped into the slot. Once the first one did, the others moved pretty fast after that.

My hunch is that the first guy requires the system to develop some sort of array, which bogs it down a bit.

cd: something i have been running into with multiple teams is I will be on my 2nd team and then go to click something like the initial draft and it will bug out thinking im clicking on the initial draft for my first team

I ‘m stuck at work, so I can’t run sims as scheduled. Maybe by midnight EST. Draft in league 2 should start fine. Sorry.

Will try to look at it in a day or two. Thanks for letting me know.
