They have a hard enough time fixing the current turnover issue. Whenever EA messes with turnovers, it turns into a disaster, so I hope this feature doesn't get included until next season.

Another vote for a Realism mode.
Gimme what I see on Sundays,Mon and sometimes Thurs.
Bobbled snaps on xp and fg's.... ala Tony Romo
missed exchanges from the qb to the rb,causing the qb to improvise...as long as he doesn't make a perfect throw off his backfoot in the face of pressure...lol
Center to qb exchange fumbles

Let the weather dictate how we play. Remember the Pitt vs Miami game last year? The field was a muddy sloppy mess...traction was poor,and Pitt won the game on a fg...3-0. That's what I would like to see....obviously not in all stadiums....I remember a Miami punt,where instead of the ball bouncing around,it just stopped dead in its tracks due to the field.

In other words,weather has to have an effect on the gameplay (realism mode) instead of just looking like a "cosmetic" addition.

A realistic game that truly simulates the great game of football is what we all want. Do we want weather to influence the game? Yes! Enough said. Thanks for coming to the boards and asking for advice and input.

Second. Extremely important.

1. Would you prefer totally uncompressed animation in replay that shows the the last 8 seconds of the play (like APF) - or have us leave it as is (unlimited replay buffer, but the longer the replay the less the animation quality because we must compress it).

No, heres my reason since we are finally getting online leagues this year and potentially online franchises next year people are going to use the save replay feature for many things. Such as custom highlight reels, game recaps, and to show if someone is breaking the rules or cheesing. If they can only get the last 8 seconds of the play I think it would limit the features usefullness.

2. Would you like a menu option that would allow "uncompressed replays" and "Full Replay"?

That would be great give us the best of both worlds.

Quote:

2. Would you like to see a "realism" and an "arcade" mode of play. Realism mode would give you realistic acceleration and deceleration, slips and falls if you cut before decelerating, more realisitc deceleration for jukes and spins, more realistic acceleration out of catches, realistic turn rates for run and sprint, the need to "setup" before doing jukes and spins, more user-created injuries, greatly reduced "big hit" tackles replaced with more wrap-up, lower success for diving tackles.

Yup as long as the game is still fun.

Quote:

3. Is it ok (or even good) to have lots more slipping in the snow and rain - like the above if you don't slow down before planting you slip, if you turn too hard while sprinting you slip etc..

I love that logic make us pay for making bad decisions.

Quote:

4. What other weather specific features would you want to see.

I would like to see weather affect fatigue more.
