Here's an idea I just had that would be really cool and would make game planning much more intuitive: have the game planning screens show the offensive and defensive formations with X's and O's, colorized according to the scout score of the various positions. Have the formations changable with a drop down box. Make it where you can see the appropriate skills for each play call type, for example, to choose the running game strategy have it show the defensive players' run defense colors, and the offensive line's run block colors, and the running back's appropriate color (or composite color). Enable swapping of players on this screen for the various situations (i.e. in defensive game planning, show your goal line defense against their various offensive formations, and allow you to swap in your stronger run defenders for that situation). For offensive game planning, have text boxes located in each of the running lanes to decide how much to run through each lane, which would be much easier to decide with this visualization. For passing offense, have boxes that represent the various distances and of course you can then see the skill level of defensive players in those positions. On defense, show the scouting report's data on this same screen, having color coded boxes indicating the frequency of the opposing team using the various running lanes (when planning your run defense) or passing distances/direction (when planning your pass defense).
