3 Best...

1. Commentary

2. Ball Physics

3. Ball carrier animations

3 Worst...

1. Legacy Pass Blocking issues

2. Too much player clipping (mainly after the play)

3. Physics are still wonky at times

"Tuning bad quarterbacks to make occasionally errant throws (not just overthrows) would be a fantastic starting point."

This is so important. Even when receivers are wide open, a slightly errant pass may still be caught but will slow down or redirect the receiver enough that it could be the difference in a 70-yard touchdown or a 20 yard gain. Just like line play, the pass accuracy is too binary. It's either right on the money, perfectly in stride with the receiver or 15 feet over the receiver's head. No in-betweens. This really hurts the gameplay.

Commentary is much better.

I haven't figured out the kick meter yet. I'll have to find a tutorial on it. The part I haven't figured out is how to change direction. Otherwise, I don't mind it.

My best things:
Full player editing.
Practice squads
FORMATION SUBS.

My worst things would be:
No sim vs arcade settings for gameplay. If we had that, we wouldn't have to worry so much about patches making things less realistic from complaints.
No options to make CFM franchise mode realistic.

The Kick Meter was a great call out, since it really adds a new dimension that never existed before.

That is specifically what I don't like about it. The direction indicator disappears midway through setting up my kick and the kick always goes wide even if I time the "A" button parts of it perfectly.

I love the new kick meter but it could use a little "calibrating"

Fantastic points that I agree with. Especially the line play and QB variation.
