Thanks, Ian and team -- we're counting on you.

1) It seems PA can be VERY useful when linebackers and some safeties are trying to figure out if the ball has been handed off, or if it's playaction. If so, this can dramatically improve the ability to actually use playaction, screens, etc. It can also provide more realistic defensive reactions (some good, some "guesses" which may be good or bad).
2 & 3) I wonder if the new attitudes can be tied to penalties? Example -- If a LT has a 99 aggressiveness and they get burned for a sack, maybe that triggers the potential for an unsportsmanlike? Or a future clipping? Perhaps another OL has a low "discipline" or "IQ" rating and a low attitude can lead to more false starts? Or if a DB gets burned deep and they have a high aggressiveness, perhaps they're more prone to draw pass interference? Etc. It'd be great to make penalties more realistic. (As I'm sure you're aware, even when they sliders are all jacked up to 100, you rarely see any other penalty than holding and a few false starts.)
