Here are a few things that might help add to the game. Just ideas on things I have noticed.

Field Goal Stats in ten yard increments [ 10-20 att/made 20-30 att/made ] this would help give you an idea on your kicker.

Xfer mrket – category for what position the player is currently listed. Kind of a pain to search thru all when say looking for a DT.

QB rating stat. I posted the formula a while back, it would be nice if you could see the rating in his stats instead of having to do it manually every time.

Also seems like the PANCAKE number is way too high. A pancake is when the OL knocks the DL player down. Doesn’t happen that often.

Add another week to the off season, I’m still working on getting organized and new games start Saturday, an extra week would help.

Just some ideas, feel free to add or attack!

This is more a suggestion than a discussion.

1: FG) I think this is a very good idea.

2: TM) You can change the position of the listed players. So you will not find the DT if he is listed as LB. The Transfermarkt agent can help to find special players.

3: QB rating) You can discuss a lot about the QB rating. I think it is not very accurate and most QBs would have a very low rating at RZA.

4: Pancake) The numbers are so high, because often a very strong OL meet a weak DL. It is easy for him to pancake him. If a strong OL meet a strong DL than a pancake is very rare.

No need. Just search for the skill(s) that you need.

The off-season is already too long...but Pete once explained why it's as long as it is.If anything, a shorter off-season would be better...but I don't see that happening either.Next season, once you are organised, you'll probably be wanting the off-season to be shorter !

The QB rating is probably the most accurate and most used stat to evaluate a QB. At least in the United States. I think it would work very well here, due to the big differences in teams seeing this game is still very young. An example will be that I moved up to 1.1 this season and will be playing more established teams and expect my QB play to suffer. However, how will I know how he stacks up against the other QB’S in the league? QB rating lets you compare apples to apples.

Xfer market. I know you can search by talent and change player positions. Not sure why? But that’s a different discussion. If you could search by position it would just make it easier to look for the player you want. I doubt very often you would look for a DT to turn into a RB. But by just looking at skill you still get a lot of players you would never switch. IE: Hey that kicker I just got sure fits the bill for being a NT! Not very realistic. My apologies to Lou "The Toe" Grouza of THE old Cleveland Browns who was the exception to that example.

Extra week off I think is strongly needed as the game matures. Teams dropping from 1.1 SHOULD be less and less each season, for the teams moving up it gives a chance to get a game plan in place. For me anyway between work and kids I’m gonna be doing it on the fly for the first half of season. NFL does have the pre-season games you know.

MY NEW COMPLAINT making the physical condition hit greater for players over 30 is a bad idea. The age should be 35 not 30. Second, I think it is going to make a coach choose between which league he wants to compete in if you have an older roster. Supercup –v- League. I can see now I will not be putting my best players on the field in the Supercup this season as the League games are more important. Is there an option to just forfeit the Supercup games?

No complaint tickets left for you then

The age of a player is set to 30 basically, then he will leave. ALl the training progress and so on is caluclated on that base. each additional year is just a gift for the manager. So we will stick with it, realism sucks

I understand Pete. However, I will now change how I was going to build my team. No reason now to keep a player past age 29. The risk/reward isn’t there or worth the cost. This is going to drastically change the xfer market. Let the hording begin!

That is totally wrong. The influence is not big enough to send grandpas to the old folk's home.

OK ...I, for one, am prepared to take your word for it (when did Admin ever lie to us ... Joke !), and see what happens.

At first, I was really worried that it was going to be like "that other Game" (see ..I did the TOG for you ) ... where the training efficiency reduced at 27 (please don't introduce that !) and then the age hit started about 31.
I haven't got a problem with the age thing ...as long as it starts at the right age (30 seems OK) and as long as the player's values don't start to fall off a cliff.
