I'm going to start off with some complaints that are easily fixable for next year. The major wish for current gen owners will probably be that they make the game next year! Personally, I think we should probably forget even asking for gang tackling, new player blocking engine, in-game saves or any major upgrade since 08 (if made) would probably just tweak the current engine.
- Give us options to turn features off! Jump the snap, momentum, the new kick return camera all need options to turn them off for those that don't like them.
- Go back to the old kicking system. The right analog stick method doesn't work. Kicks in the middle of the field are 100%. Furthermore the CPU never misses kicks! Inexcusable. Go back to the old pitch meter slider and MAKE SURE THE CPU MISSES KICKS!! This includes ALL levels and a slider for accuracy that actually works!
- Fumble slider. There are too many fumbles in the game, particularly in rainy weather. You have an INT slider and this is an easy and logical addition.
- Give us a playoff option or a plus 1 playoff option that goes with the bowl games for those that want this. I kind of like the controversy of the BCS but if the NCAA will let you I'm sure many would love this.
Just to elaborate on some complaints. Jump the snap is too easy. You need to add a medium element or average jump which should happen the majority of the time rather than a feast or famine play.
Momentum is probably too effective. Give us the option of setting the maximum advantage. Let us make it +10 if desired or as little as a 0 or +1. This shouldn't be that hard to implement either. It would be a mini-momentum slider.
The new kick return camera wouldn't be so annoying for some of us if you just gave us more peripheral vision. At least let us turn it off.
I will end this by saying I love the core gameplay on current gen. The presentation is really good and all of my major concerns from last year were solved. Sometimes its too easy to bounce inside runs to the outside but with the sliders we have, I really don't have any significant complaints other than with the new features/options.
