Ideas for CFM Chemistry

[XtremeDunkz]

Let's be honest. CFM needs more depth to team building. Here are some things that would add to the GM and coaching aspects.

New Ratings

Snapping
Long Snapping

These would go along with a mechanic to cause bad snaps. It would also force you to hold a roster spot for a long snapper. Calculate the QB or Holders "catching" rating in to the equation to create the dice roll.

Chemistry

Chemistry would go up and down based on practice and games played together. These would be based on unit, not the entire team. Chemistry would give bonuses to different attributes (zone, play rec, awareness, discipline)

Possible units include..

Offensive line
Center/QB
WR/QB
Secondary
Long Snapper/holder
Long Snapper/Punter

Starting Center gets hurt the QB/C exchange will be a little iffy at first (you can focus more practice time and getting the timing down) and the entire Oline awareness drops if the C was the line general (new trait idea that gives a bonus to offensive line awareness).

[Mattanite]

You have hit on a number of points that have been suggested in various forums for improvement to CFM.

Snapping: The need for a long snapping attribute so all the low OVR TE/Cs don't get cut every year. This would be made very very valuable if you implemented bad snaps on special teams and in general.

Bad snaps: The need for a "sim" switch for CFM to allow bad snaps.

Special Teams: The need for a special teams rating, the more a player plays special teams the better the rating, which could provide a boost to tackling, block shedding, returning, etc. This could also act as the attribute for determining a bad hold and would help with the advanced special teams formation subs (I wouldn't put Tom Brady at holder, or Von Miller at gunner, they do what they do well but without practising special teams they would suck at first).

Chemistry: The need for even a basic chemistry function, I would settle for just offence, defence and special teams right now. Putting a roster together is not just about signing and developing a bunch of superstars but needs chemistry in order to function as a group. The vikings defence works so well because the coach brings the players all together and there is very little change to the roster baring injuries.
