1.)Head 2 Head-I wont use it much, but it would definately widen the user base, and im all for that.

2.)Team GM AI-I would still like to see the teams use the profile, but would like to see a CPU team adjust it as necessary. Re-Order its draft order to get the players it needs, because of injuries or retirements.

3.)Trading-Love to see a screen where you could select teams from drop down menus and then move players to a trade box. If teams are CPU controlled, they would approve or disapprove offer.

3B.)CPU initiated trades-With other CPU teams or Human owned.

4.)All Inclusive League Specific Folders-With so much tweaking and tinkering, I would like to have at least the option, of having ALL 'stuff' related to a league be in one folder.
For instance, I would like to be able to have within the League folder, a Stadiums folder, and a Plays folder. Also I would like to have the Constants.Dat and simgame.dat in that folder. I like to play 5min qtrs with indoor football, but to quicksim and get similar stats to played out games, I must tweak the simgame.dat. This hoses other leagues however, since everything is jacked up to replicate the played out game numbers. Having a league use its own version of the two files would be great.

5.)Sliders-I think that this would be great. There has to be some way to ensure that a
person can always be challenged by the CPU, even if it's by giving it an advantage.
-This would benefit both the casual gamer, who wants to just play football as opposed to crawling into the game and tweaking for hours.

-This would ALSO benefit the power user, or football fanatic who is always figuring out how to destroy the AI. It would let him up the ante.

Obviously, im thinking of a slider system similar to Madden, with the ability to adjust both the AI and human performance. Or just give us a constants.dat on steroids....with AI and human settings.

my only wish is to have more stocked stadium for use

I thought the team profile was supposed to do this. In fact, I thought this was the reason the function was switched from a "Draft Profile" to a "Team Profile". Somewhat disapponting that it doesn't.

Amen, brother.

Well, I am positive as I was quick simming thru several season to test some things, I noticed that each draft was the same for each team.

If im mistaken that would be great

The Team Profiles work but the computer owned teams can't set them up by themselves and they don't change them up.

Well, I am positive as I was quick simming thru several season to test some things, I noticed that each draft was the same for each team.

I set each team to a different team profile for the draft.

It would be nice to have a random selection or team evaluation feature for that.

I agree with all of the above, but I think something that needs to be added, in THIS version if possible, is a change in the playbook profile. Currently if I try to add plays into my profile groups it shows me the plays from my entire playbook. So, in order to see just the plays in the playbook, I have to export the playbook, rename the plays folder, and make he export folder my new plays file, adding the .pbk form the renamed plays folder.
 
  It really shouldnt be necessary to do this.

Being able to switch between showing the plays in the playbook and those found on disk (which is what I assume you meant) was something added to the v2.2 playbooks.

Thats exactly what I meant. Thats great to hear.

While we're compiling a wishlist, I wish the kicking was much more improved.  As it stands now, field goals are severely underpowered and too many extra point kicks are being missed.  Also, kick returners seem receivers seem like they are running in place for the first five or six steps before they get going.  This should be reduced to two steps maximum.

What are the KST and KAC skill attributes of your kickers?
 
You can change the general field goal accuracy in the constants.
 

//Field Goal Accuracy, the higher the number, the less accurate the field goal kicks
FieldGoal_Threshold=0.08

highquality, in the first season, kickers are pretty average at best. They do get better as the seasons go along.

But as Marauders said above, you can adjust things a bit.

After a few seasons those kickers dramatically improve. In the MLF we have a few kickers that put it through the uprights on the kickoff, and hit 50 yard field goals like chipshots.

I often see leagues with kickers that have both KST and KAC of 97 or better.  That isn't very realistic.
 
I suggest using JDhalfrack's utility to set a curve on kickers prior to season one.

yes we need to tone this down they are hitting field goals on kick offs.[:D]
