Sorry, I had no time to think about it yet, this is why I put the threadid on Todo as well, so I can walk through the opinions later, when writing this stuff.

Clock management, Fake punts, TPC, Onsidekicks from this tread are in todo. I think that the 2-pt conversion is absolutly needed. It is more important than 2 pts of a safety.

Yesterday I probably lost my PO-game, because of this missing option. I was 8 points behind in the 4th quarter and scored a TD in the last play of the game. In reality every team would try the 2pt conversion to tie the game.
I think this was not the only game with such and end. In the Supercup Sinner Lad Tromso lost by one point.

I hope it will be not so difficult to implement such and option.

There is a problem with 2 Pt Conversion though. The score breakdowns (ahead 7-10, behind 4-6, etc) would have to be changed.

On page 1 of this thread I wrote the situations when the 2-pt-conversion could be allowed.

I know that, but I'm trying to get at how you would structure your playbook to work for trying to get a TD when you are down 8 as opposed to when you are down 9 or 10. I said something about it in this thread, but Pete never weighed in.

My tactics are going to change drastically if I'm down 7 (or 8 with the ability for a 2 pt conversion) as opposed to if I'm down 8-10 (or 9-11 with 2 pt conversion). But the option in the playbook is 7-11, which is way wrong.

It might be an unfair amount of work on Pete's behalf but maybe it's possible to get us to enter a numeric value in the playbook. So there would be 'To Go [] and []' rather than 'To Go 7-10'.

Audibles could rely on the experience and intelligence of a team, or of specific positions. It could be the collective unit on the field since it only takes 1 player to false start (when penalties are introduced) or it could focus on the QB/WR/Center.

There are also defensive audibles as well to factor in which aren't always thought of. If anyone remembers Peyton Manning against Ray Lewis it was fascinating to watch.

I like all the suggestions but the fake punts/field goals would be well down the list of things to do though in terms of those.

Often referred to as "The Chicken Dance".

It would certainly reduce the lines in the offensive and defensive playbooks
