Another enhancement to play by play  that would have the strongest effect in understanding game plans is to include who was in coverage for a given pass play. For example, when a pass is completed to a WR who is then tackled by a safety, I have no idea whether that safety was directly covering him and got beat, if the corner got beat and then the safety cleaned it up, or if he was uncovered and that’s just who got the tackle.

I would argue this has a very strong impact on whether teams can accurately assign issues to certain players, mismatches, or if a scheme is just inadequate and leaves certain positions uncovered or on bad matchups. If we can’t tell what happened, it’s hard to know what to do about it

As it stands right now, the effects of stamina seem very opaque to users. I can’t tell when it has an effect on a player or anyway to interact with that. I also think it’s still a tad unrealistic that for most teams and most positions (barring blowouts) the starters play every snap of the year.

suggestion: in addition to whatever performance effects stamina has, include a player rotation aspect next year. If players have low stamina, they’re more likely to be subbed out when it gets below whatever threshold (so worse stamina = fewer snaps per game). Obviously position dependent, so many QBs play every snap and if they just have terrible stamina they get a bit worse on long drives and at the end of games but there’s not much difference between C and A stamina, while DTs have a much higher chance of being subbed out for 1-3 plays to recover stamina if they are below average.

could also include a gameplanning section for rotations where you can decide how early you want to rotate players: if you want fresh bodies, or if you want to run your starters until they’re absolutely trashed (and hopefully position specific but yes that’s a big lift)

Suggestion: Output all players who are on the field each snap. Makes for easier debugging and especially on ST plays you can start to get a better sense for what supporting players are helping vs. hurting you.

The out of position introduction indicated that “starting” at another position for a season gets a player to become that position, but it also mentioned being at the new position but *not* starting for 2 seasons would also work to transition

is there a mechanism for that? If, say, an OG is placed as the backup OT for 2 seasons in a row and sees minimal snaps would they get an OT designation?

Welcome to SimFBA! Please let me know if you have any further questions!

Also, I definitely think the injury carveout is a good idea, and want to verify that yes, players can in fact transfer as many times as they want throughout their careers

Players will range from sophomores, juniors, and senior players that will be looking for a school that meets a specific need of theirs.

I'm taking this to mean that players won't transfer even if they get no playing time as true freshman. That's a relief

Woah Charlotte

NC is gonna be crowded with crooting battles 👀

Is there anyway to get a 3-man front that uses man coverage DBs? Right now both of them penalize that and want zone

OR will I see everyone else paying a premium for clutch players and moneyball into getting chokers for dirt cheap?

The offense looks more terrible every week, but as long as we're still winning... 5-3 babyy

 

Btw, until when do I need to announce a scheme change if I want to do one? 

You don’t have to announce it at all 👀 but you do get a penalty to your offense or defense for the next couple weeks

@CBreezy you're approved for Mississippi State! Welcome to the best conference in the country, the SEC!

Right now we are currently in the offseason for college football as well as NFL, but we are right in the middle of the college basketball season and about to begin the NBA season. If you want to participate in those sims as well, ask around on the discord and people can help. For CFB there is also a beta test for new recruiting changes ongoing and I'd recommend getting your feet wet a little and experimenting with that (again, ask around after your interface profile has been setup).

WAHOOOO

The rare no-punt game! Sloppy play first quarter with sacks and turnovers but happy with our offense. Defense though, damn Florida was ripping it on the ground

First ever #1 vs. #2 in the sim I believe. To say I'm pleasantly surprised would be an understatement. FSU has a tremendous roster and I still think they are the favorites to win the ACC.

oh heck yeah Oregon gets their guy
