Game preparation
Some say the game is won before the players even get on the field. Obviously, that is incorrect, however, the purpose of that statement, is to stress the importance of preparation. I feel like the work I do prior to playing any cfm game should be applied to the advancement of the players' mental aspects of the game. When I look through the opponents depth charts, injury reports, and their stats for the season, I am essentially formulating a game plan. Learning how to approach the team, how to exploit their weaknesses, or how to cover up my own teams weaknesses. Scrolling through all those pages should earn experience points for every player on the team that can be applied to attributes associated with the mental portion of the game, such as play recognition or route running. This would logically tie experience and progression of the players understanding of the game, while also rewarding the person controlling the team for putting some effort into the process. As it stands now, I have to remember to go to the progress player screen at some point each week, and select the seven players that the coaches spoke to that week. Every time I progress players, I feel like I have Chris Farley for a Head Coach. How many players did you coach up this week? 52,53..... Seven, seven players. Did you show the players where they're going to line up in each formation so I can get the match ups I want? No, no, we'll just figure that out when the game starts.
As for the physical progression of players, it should all be based on what is done on the field.
I like the improvements on the field this year. The ball has some life to it, seeing some organic plays, but cfm is like the niners, off field issues every where. It appears as though the focus will be applied to cfm for next season, and hopefully these guys will reach out a little further in advance of the release. Plenty of helpful people out there.
