Playbooks need to be torn down and rebuilt

[makaveli_Reborn]

Sorry, but this is a joke at this point. Redundant running plays that attack the same gaps, using mirrored plays in a poor attempt to "flesh out" the sparse playbooks in certain formations. The whole thing is embarrassing.

APF2K8 had this figured out years ago with their two-tiered playcalling system (call the protection then call the skill play).

I know that people get antsy when people call for a simulation rather than an online arcade game, but it just kills me that in 2011 we're still calling "I-Form, RB Iso" in our football games.

There is no reason for there not to be a play creator, and there is no reason for entire formations to only have 9 or 12 redundant, incoherent plays.

Defense is just as bad. Blitz packages that don't make any schematic sense, plays that leave the flanker uncovered and the FB out of the backfield covered, the only way to get a real contain simulation is to call it, which is ridiculous, etc, etc, etc.
