Below are a few things he mentions, click here to read the rest.

	If the receiver doesn't see it he won't make the play�Same for the defense on ball play. DB/WR interaction is great, very realistic, doesn�t stick like glue and run step for step with the receiver OLine/DLine interaction is tuned (not overhauled). The offensive linemen extend and grab, slide accordingly as well with the defender. Great playaction play is back for �13! Neat and new team celebrations between plays...not just an individual anymore (seemed like only �team� celebrations were TD�s in �12). Guys will hug and jump bump midair. Especially on big downs or plays. Screens have been improved (slip, wide, and middle). The linemen react and block much better, and do an excellent job going down-field leading a back. Good and accurate pocket depth/presence will be rewarded. If you are dropping back too deep the ball loses power and accuracy will be lost.

The CPU basically mirrored the Human style of play doing games. That would be a great feature to add because then you control how teams actually played on the field. Being able to have a actual Option Team mirror your style of play on the filed would also allow for smarter and better CPU AI logic when you face an Option Team. It would allow the CPU to mirror your situational punting tendencies giving their punters an actual awareness on the field based on situations as you described. I don't think EA has ever really dug deep enough into the CPU's style of play or tendencies because everything seems to be geared more and more towards online gameplay (human vs human control). It's one the reason why i abandoned the NBA Live Series because their basketball game had no real life tendencies from CPU players on the court. They would never do anything that a Human player could do in terms of dribbling animations and moves.

Yeah that was my whole way of thinking. IF they could make a virtual AI recorder and then have people who actually KNOW how a team system works and play true to that system, they can record it. Then just give it to teams who run that type of system.

Because as it stands now, run n shoot, air raid is pretty damn weak when the CPU runs that style of offense. Then you have schools in real life that run a ton of screens don't do that in the game when the CPU controls them.

So I believe a virtual AI recorder would do the trick. And addition to that, maybe expand the coaches edits to the following:

Use HB screens
Use WR screens
Use reverses
Short passing attack
medium passing attack
long passing attack
attempt punt/FG blocks

The way the coach edits are now, it is too plain. You only got pass/run.

I have so many ideas but no way to get it to the powers that be that make the game. So it is kind of like for the past 4 years now my ideas just fall on deaf ears.

You guys posted about disguised coverage. Is the blitz now disguised?

That would be a thing of beauty but the moment it happens, a casual or someone that is not that good will come in here complaining about how stupid their defenders are for not trying to track the ball.
