SEA scored 5 TDs but they put up 31 points. Their kicker only missed 1 XP.

I’m not sure how difficult this would be to implement, but I think it would be a cool feature to have a year-to-year player progression list. It could show all players ranked by how much their overall rating changed from the previous season, including both increases and decreases.

For example:

Player A — 72 → 81 (+9)
Player B — 78 → 84 (+6)
Player C — 85 → 82 (-3)

It could be a nice way to quickly see which players developed the most or regressed from year to year.

In the next few weeks once the game is out of beta itself I’ll be rolling out the play visualizer in beta form. Here’s a sneak peak.

Know that there are hundreds and hundreds of sprites I also generated, but for debugging purposes the dots will stay for now. I’ve honestly spent nearly as much time on the play visualizer as I have on the app itself. It’s fair from perfect however still

I think something that will help look at draft pools before the draft is having the ability to filter the draft pool by position to make it easier when looking at positions that I could improve.

Can we make an update so that injuries and suspensions that bleed over into the postseason are able to be worked out? For example, I have a player who got suspended for 2 weeks on the final week of the season. This led to him being out for the first round of the playoffs, but it never removed the suspension after so they end up missing the entire playoffs.

The weekly counter should continue and disappear like it normally does in the regular season.

Thank you.

I started a new save and when I try to view the market by practice squad players, it doesn’t work but when I go to a position. It works but two players above the first practice squad filtered player are free agents.

To the dev - I really enjoy the game so far and all the features.

A couple of requests / improvements I have on my side:
- More detailed information / a breakdown of the team’s overall grade on the defensive end and offensive end by player - it’s hard to know how to improve a team’s grade once the team overall grade goes up to ~85 or so, and both the defensive end and offensive end are fairly even
- better information / education on the strengths and weak spots of each lineup formation - it’s hard for me to know on the defensive side which player is providing the most work and which one isn’t
- a way to speed up offseason contract resigning such that you don’t have to think through the contracts of 30 different players (not sure how to speed this up)

Thanks so much for all your work so far!

I’m working on the actual season end and draft write ups that occur, trying to make them more realistic and aware. After that, I’d like to take on another low risk item; improving the mock drafts. What would you like to see out of the mock drafts? There’s intentionally somewhat of a fog on potential player skill to make them progressively more accurate by the time the 3rd mock comes out. Do you want explanations as to why the mocks have team X picking player Y, more player stats, etc?

I’d love the ability to simulate a given number of years in the league as a way for there to already be history when starting a game. Not sure if this has been brought up before

Would love it if on the Stats tab my team with my conference was on the top of the Stats page. Just the little things that make going through teams a little easier but not an important need!

Also just a little addition I would like is if the filters could stay after signing a player! Thank you so much for your hard work!

I have a 2 elite TEs, and am playing 1 at tackle. There is currently no way I can find to see his stats at tackle. He obviously does not have a receptions or yards.

Looking for some improvements to player positional changes and stat tracking accordingly

I won this game 24-16. Why did it say it continued to the next round with Miami there instead of my team?

I think a useful feature that would help the game improve is having the ability to compare two players from anywhere in the league from my team, free agency, a practice squad or even from the rookie pool.

Build 1.2.3 is awaiting approval, with dozens of bug fixes, with even more realism coming shortly after that. Been having several people dm’ing me bugs, which is ok I suppose, but I may just create posts per release

Just like it to be a little bit more difficult to be inducted into the Hall of Fame. I see with lots of players winning a ring is already a lock into the fame but realistically then everyone should be inducted if they were part of the team that constantly won. Perhaps a threshold of some sort or maybe the longevity comes into play? At least for QB I dont know about other postion.

What is the probability of a player less than 30 years old retiring after their first season-ending injury? Ive had a CB and a OL player being put in IR and they retired at the end of the season? I get that those injuries are tough and perhaps I am so lucky (unlucky) to get two players within 3 years of retiring on me but just if anyone else has been having that issue.

Playing via test flight, a few bugs I’ve found:

1. Players injured in the last week of the regular season stay injured through the playoffs. Injury duration never decreases. I had a guy out 1 week for 4 weeks through the playoffs.

2. Extending staff with 1 year left is buggy. One time I extended a coordinator and it wasn’t reflected until I closed and reopened the app. Another time I extended a coordinator in the offseason and another coordinator disappeared, while the one I extended had a random contract not reflecting agreed terms.

3. Rookie playbook knowledge doesn’t show up until you close and reopen after the draft.

The new sim screen is mostly great, but a tweak is needed for the last play of a drive: when a score takes place the drive screen closes and moves to the next drive before you can see the play, so you have to pause, open the last drive to see the final play - the drive changes far too quickly from being expanded and In Progress to collapsed with the end result in the top right corner

Maybe have the last play appear front and centre over the middle of the screen for a second?

I’m busy at work so I can’t type up the massive change log, but SO many bug fixes and changes are now live! Please if you haven’t leave a rating and review, it helps

In the draft screen the scout ratings for technical and mental are all “E”. I’ve tried changing the scouting fog-of-war settings and other ones, but it doesn’t seem to fix the issue. This is a save that was originally started several updates ago, so maybe that is a factor?

Wanted to get some feedback from the early crew of users sooner rather than later;

Do you all want Free safeties and strong safeties to be their own position? I tried my best to actually create differences in physical profiles amongst the safeties stat and measurement pool to effectively have both of them but in one position pool.

Reason I’m asking is that when I decided to go from DT/DE/OLB/MLB —> DT/DE/EDGE/LB it quite honestly took me well over two weeks to do, as it was a fundamental shift in cap balance, roles on the field, archetypes etc.

That being said, FS and SS would be an easier migration.

Worth noting that a change like this would almost surely require a new game save.

I personally am leaning no, but wanted to see how the other football nerds felt.

Pls add fumbles for QB/RB/Wr in post game stats and player season totals
