I like this game and the partecipation of Pete.

I don't like:
- the 3-4 big plays per game (sounds like luck)
- the lack of a blitzing game for LB and SF (maybe at ANY snap, why not?)
- MOTY



EDIT

Suggestions:
- blitz, blitz, blitz!!
- % run/throw in the playbook

I like this game.
It is better than Grid-Iron.

I like all of the matches during the week and the super cup.
I know that there are people that say they dont have the time for so many matches during a week,but they can set their match orders 3 or 4 games in advance and be just fine.
It would be nice to have pictures of the players,a face to go along with a name would be nice.
I pretty much like everything about it,but of course there is always room for improvement.
I really do like the way Pete is active here and tries to fix bugs,hopefully the problems with the Internet Explorer browser will get solved, because thats what I have.
Things I dont like.

The interface.
I think it could be better.

During this season the screen print has gotten alot smaller,like the bottom menu bar that shows your money balance,mail, pinboard, this bar has gotten alot smaller for me and it makes it kind of hard to read,and it is the same thing when watching a match, the commentary has gotten alot smaller and it makes it hard to read it.
I would prefer if it was in bigger print so I would not have to squint my eyes just to be able to read it.

I dont like the transfer list,because it makes it very difficult to buy a player unless you can camp out there and wait until the end of the auction and get into a bid war...but I rekon that is the nature of an auction...
So I would just rather develope my own players.

The best thing in this game is the care of the admin. There could be things not so good, but you know for sure he will change them soon enough. That's comforting.

The only thing I will add which is not on To Do (I think) would be player heights and weights. The rest, everything is perfect, nice job, Peter

I agree with all Deril67 wrote.

Especially i like to stress his issue concerning the font size

It was stated before by some managers that they dislike the system of the Supercup competition. I prefer the chosen league system over a "pure" cup system like in -TOG-

- Devolepment of the Game (Admin involved a lot)

Dislikes:

- Layout

- little complex for guys never played or where involved in a Footballprogram i think
- Dont have Paypal and only to get a supporter here i want get it...

Finally a little time for reflection:

Like:
- love Admin's commitment to the game. #1 requirement to any good game.
- SuperCup. If it goes away managers will miss the income on those road weeks when you stadium is quiet.
- game depth. Sometimes it feels a bit too much, but when I take the time I like having the options RZA offers. Depth chart, gamebook, game settings, academy, the draft. Excellent!
- the Pinboard and Hints. Great features for busy managers.
- Facilities and HR. More fun and practical stuff.
- in-game injuries.

Dislikes:
- it feels like there is too much $$ in the game. (see edit below)
- agree with previous post that injuries that carry over from game to game seem low
- Be nice for even more flexibility in training
- not overly fond of transfer market.

A couple off-topic thoughts:
- as mentioned elsewhere, perhaps a transfer window that opens at start of season and closes after 8 or 10 league games have been played. (maybe still able to sign free agents - just close teams selling their players)
- similarly, load all the academy pulls into the first two or three weeks of the season. Like extra players NFL teams bring into training camp to have enough players for scrimmages, etc., and some are kept around on the "practice squad".

edit: Buffalo has pointed out to me that salaries will take off in a few seasons....so I am probably premature in worrying about how much $$ is in the game.

I trust Admin!

Maybe a little late, but hey, better than never ....

I like:
Most of the game I like.
It's not perfect, but which is?
I like the most Peters dedication to this game.

I see room for improvment:
Economy - it's too easy. The new Coaches-Features will help, but I would love to have an economy based on the wages, people are willing to spend, not based on fixed amounts.
Stadium - build and done is not enough. There should be some kind of effort to do every now and then to keep it up as modern stadium.
Players - they don't seem to be too far apart from my point of view. I would love to see more seperation. For example a DL and a LB seem to be almost exchangable. In real live this only fits for DE and OLB, but not NT and MLB.
But ther doesn't seem to be a crucial skill for DL which is also not a crucial skill for LB.
By this I mean players, which as already way beyound the 25-skill mark.
youth academy - I would love to see the players develop faster in the beginning and then getting slower
And I would love to play with them games!
Draft - This is, and with all respect to the work put into this game, the most annoying part of the game from my point of view.
I like the draft it self, getting ready players. I like that. But the scouting and sorting process is hell on earth.
From my point of view, there is help needed.
Good start would to have an easy way to put scout reports into an excel line, doing this for 96 players by hand every season is driving me nuts.
Better would be to get help from the system. To have all infos on the draft list, not in an seperated excel ...
- transfer market - i hate him. Plain and simple. I will not buy players for millions, never. Good for all the other guey, I guess.
I hate bid wars and I hate the endings of the tranfer periods.
This might change if there are more managers with older players, but at the moment it is no fun al all.
