I'll try and keep this basic/brief.

The passing game. Give us realistic pass trajectories, have WR's and DB's play the ball realistically, not robotically. Have them both know they must get to the ball at the highest point, and sometimes the WR needs to be the defender. Get ball physics in so tip drill catches are actually possible, and so that tipped passes go up and make you gasp while the ball is in the air. Don't overdo it to where every tipped pass turns into a beach ball that is caught. And make QB accuracy work realistically. Not every incompletions needs to be a dropped catch or interception. We need QB's to miss their target more. We have overthrows and underthrows, but we need more of those, and we need way more completed passes that are off target.

Line interaction. Defensive lineman run on preset paths right now. They always follow the same paths no matter what. Have them actualy play realistically. If a DE goes unblocked, don't have him still run in an arch 7 yards deep to get to the QB when he could have easily ran straight for 2.5 yards for the untouched sack. And just have blocks play out more realistically. Not every block results in a lateral move to set a defender free. Lineman do push blockers back yards at a time. Most runs in this game come from the lineman standing still, chopping their feet for a few seconds before the d-lineman eventually gets free on one side. We need more realistic outcomes. I want more double teams in the running and passing game, more runs springing for big gains because of a good push, not because the d-linemen got free on the right side, but it was a left side run.

Ball carrier logic. Pretty simple. Have players run side to side, north and south, etc. depending on their tendency. We saw an improvement this year, but it needs to be felt a lot more. Power backs should run into contact more often, but not all of the time. They should still attempt to run around players, laterally across the field, etc. Speed backs should use more moves, cuts to avoid traffic. I want to see speed CPU backs cutting back, running sideline to sideline, avoiding contact as much as possible while their power back isn't afraid to put his head down and run, but he isn't too determined to run into the tackler that he runs straight into a tackle instead of running left a bit for the easy TD. And have QB's move around the pocket more often, rolling out, stepping up, and have them also run around, not just straight up field once they start their scramble.

Dynasty mode. Just make it more immersive. We need points for stadium upgrades, completely new stadiums, to be able to afford better coaches that have big affects that really show. We need points so we can recruit bigger recruits cross country, etc. If I am Temple, my budget to spend on coaches, recruiting, upgrades, etc. should not be the same as Texas's. Recruiting is the same at every school in this game. Pitches have different grades, other than that, it is the same thing. It should be more expensive for Akron to recruit in FL, than it is Ohio State. Akron should not have the points to recruit in FL all year for their players, they need to stick with more local talent in order to actually bring in enough players to fill their needs.

Coaches. Give them ratings, and exaggerate those ratings' affects. I'd rather the ratings have a huge impact over having nearly no impact. It would add strategy to the game and make sure dynasties play out differently all the time. A good coach can turn a program around and a bad one can destroy a program. Represent this.

And finally, spread out ratings for everyone. Coaches(if they get ratings), players, and that's really it. We need more players at the low tier schools that are low 60's overall. Most starters in the game are all 70's. We need way more 60's and even 50's, and less 90+'s. 90+ should be reserved for the best of the best, award winners, mid high 80's is the all-americans. High 70's-low 80's is the good starters. Low-mid 70's is the average starter. High 60's is the starter at Akron, but career back up at any mid major or better school. 50's is the "average" walk-on.

This would greatly increase the differences felt with each player. Using LSU and having half your team in the 80's would feel dominant compared to another SEC school like UT who has a handful of players in the low 80's, but is mostly low-mid 70's players.

Top 5 teams would have 7-8 mid-high 80's players, top 10 is 5 or so, top 20 is 2-3, top 30 is 1-2, and after that 80 overall players are a rarity.
