OK, so after having this game now for a couple weeks (and having played it during that time FAR MORE than my wife would have hoped), I have to say that I am thoroughly impressed. This is probably the best sport sim game I have EVER played, and by a wide margin.
Very good job, Jim! The game has challenging and reasonable AI, numerous & deep gameplay features, and it is practically bug free.
Now, having said that... we humans are always in search of more :D
The #1 feature I'd love to see added in the future is some way to tell what players are on the field for any given play outside of the offensive skill positions. I don't need to be able to change them, per se, but it sure would be nice to see that the computer has substituted my crappy backup 23/25 LT in for the 75/75 stud who starts before I run a critical 3rd down "RB21 Sprint" his way! :eek:
Even if it would be as simple as listing out all the on-field player's jersey #s in the scoreboard margin (off & def would be perfect!), that would make what is already a very enjoyable mode of play (calling all off/def plays) even 100% better IMHO.
Nonetheless, even without this -- I am enjoying FOF more than any game I've played in recent history. Color me pleased.
And, also a shout out to forum member Mizzourah who turned me on to FOF suggesting to me via PM that I check it out when I was over in the OOTP forums voicing some complaints about that game's AI tendancies. Thanks bud, and my wife now hates you.:p
