Online thing that bugs me (knowing who you are being)

You know how if you're playing somebody online, you know who they are using on Defense (because the cursor is located right under their selected player)? Well, I wish that they could remove that, because I don't want them to know who I'm spying them with, or who I'm covering. Likewise, I wish that they could eliminate the kicking meter and direction of the kick/punt for the opposing player.

Thoughts? Any other things like that? Maybe eliminate all of the Pause menu, or do it like they do it on Backyard Baseball online (have you ever played that?). Basically, what they do is when one team presses pause, then they are doing stuff on their pause menu, and you are allowed to feature your pause menu. Then, it's like selecting plays in football... you don't get to the line until you are both done, and if you didn't press pause (if you are on defense as an analogy to this), you aren't penalized in time until the other team is ready to go (just like until the offensive team is done selecting their play).

Make sense?

Yes it does, and I agree with all of it, especially the pause screen and kicking meters.

Doesnt affect me.

I make my reads on offense based on the front and coverage I am seeing, I don't even pay attention to who the other player is controlling.

Except when I play Bdunn. Then I make sure to throw the ball to whatever zone he is covering manually.

And also, well, I'm not playing now to know whether or not it's in the game, but can they see how you're using your charge meter? Like for a sprint or charge-up or something?

And finally, I always have to turn off the texts in Presentation, because then they know when I'm doing Hot Routes or Defensive shifts.

Allow only our screen to see these things, and not the other side of the connection.

I think this maybe in this years game, but don't quote me on that.

Re: Online thing that bugs me (knowing who you are being)

I wonder if you're asking for the same thing I've been asking for and that is independent pause screens.

Basically, if your opponent pauses to do subs, d matchups, and what have you, then you can do your own instead of waiting for him/her to finish buttoning through the menus.
