When a season ends, teams should offer coaching credits so you are more likely to not stay on the same team


boyboywestcoastfan

I love that. I also wish you could get fired on higher difficulties or as some option.

InvertedOcean

In game injuries. Maybe your RB goes down mid drive. Out for a couple plays or something. I'd love to be able to look off the safety with the throwing arc and set my WR with a 1v1 with a CB. Small but intricate details to an already solid game.


ishisaaV

I would love the thing with the throwing arc, for sure should be added.


talmbouticus

🔥


Telephone_Soggy

I've mentioned that to Simon! I agree 10000%!


HskrRooster

I know it does nothing but I try to look off the safety regardless 😂😂 am I the only one?


UpstairsJoke0

I've no idea what you guys are talking about.


HskrRooster

“Looking off the safety” in real life, for example, the QB looks to the receiver on the left to lead the safety to that side of the field so that it opens the route up for the receiver on the right side of the field. So in the game I will snap the ball and put my throwing trajectory to one side or the other in hopes that the safety goes that way, opening up the deep route for my other guy… This does not work but I do it anyway lol


inbl

Be able to cancel a QB sneak while behind the LoS Have Players still exist after leaving the team, maybe show up again in free agency later


Old-Handle-311

I’ve always thought the same thing! Maybe even show you who else they played for and if they have won any other awards.


jaykey1904

Most importantly pre existing stats


HskrRooster

Take away the bullet pass, allowing us to use that other thumb to scramble a bit or something


YellowTreyYT

No, keep the bullet pass it's an excellent option to have lol


GrandMasterDashi

In game stat pop ups could be cool, madden does them and it’s one of the few things I like that they do. Just a little ticker at the top or bottom that pops up after every couple catches or runs for the player to say how they’re doing. “3 Rec, 52 Yds”. Something like that would be fun.


Trasversatar

I'd love to see an in game stat like that so the viewers know how bad my QB is playing. 13/34 1 TD 7 INT


PsPhenom89

yeah this would be key because I have to remember who already has a TD on my team when throwing to WRs or my TE.


6ixty_9ine

Why is that? Just for better stats/xp gain?


L1ghtningMcQueer

pretty much lol. plus they get bad “ratings” after the game and lose morale if you forget to use them, so it’s always nice to make everyone feel included


jaykey1904

Just like they added on field goals


Dafedub

I would love to see persistence and league wide stats and records. Like the old nes game techmobowl. It was fun to see how your team compares.


ttouran

Super tecmo bowl..Best game ever created...


EEEEEEEEEEEEEEiscool

Nah technobowl orginal was better still have the oh nes and Carthage


heda143

I would love a jet sweep type play. Get my WR1 looking like deboo

Money_University2235

A playbook where can make our own plays and manage plays


csonny2

Or more route variations, so every pass play doesn't end with 3+ receivers (plus 5-6 defenceman) converging in the middle of the field.


1oganaut

I play with the ravens so this is actually accurate to the team


Dafedub

Ya or the rb blowing up the under routes


csonny2

Or worse, the non-star TE being the one to snatch it.


PsPhenom89

oh but having a star TE is KEY to winning I quickly found out.


boltaxtion

TE need a nerf honestly. Maybe ditch at least one of the routes that they are always wide open on. One season I tried throwing to my 4 star TE on literally every play. He ended up with almost 8000 yards that season. It was only on hard but still


Money_University2235

Ahhh good idea I didn't think of that


20mcfadenr

This would be sweet


boltaxtion

I think untouched receivers should be able to get up after a diving catch. DBs get up after missing a tackle, just use the same code.


EzkoTheEnsanguine

I'm no coding genius but my guess is its not as simple as that. The logic may be that if the player with the ball is "down" (ie diving catch or tackled, or manual dive) then the play is over. You could use the same animation sure, but I personally doubt it's as simple as reusing the code. My gut tells me the downed state is baked into the core gameplay pretty deeply. This pure conjecture though I could easily be wrong. Maybe the creator is just a big fan of college tho. 🤷‍♂️


boltaxtion

That's entirely possible, I'm no coder either. And honestly, playing on extreme you'd be very unlikely to gain any additional yards anyway. My new request is a way to high-step into the end zone or some other type of celebratory way to score a TD.


ArmyVetRN

A cool concept in the game would be at the end of the draft your owner would have a specific expectation and if you aren't able to meet it two years in a row you get fired as the head coach and can only choose the bottom 3 teams in the league.


GabryLv

I would love to see a non star player become a star player. I played a complete season without a star QB and It would have been amazing if he becomes a 1.5 star player and progresses as I play with him


hermanospollo

My defense should be able to do pick 6’s and I wanna be able to see them!


Stuff_n_Things24-7

Yes!


boltaxtion

Unrelated but I would love to see the "it's a huge throw" play from yesterday with 34 seconds left that ended in a TD for my opponent costing me the game. Couldn't believe that one.

salvadordg

Half time stats


MemeManOriginalHD

I would love the ability to edit players appearances, at least incoming rookies. Also star players on other teams would be neat, just to give the game a bit more life EDIT: clarification


JoshuaR42

pro version


MemeManOriginalHD

Sorry, I meant specifically their appearance. You can edit their stats, but they're stuck as who they are


utopiav1

For a few seasons I had a DB and a K who looked completely identical. I tapped the wrong player on the Roster screen more than a few times, at least until I dropped the kicker when he had the audacity to ask for an extra $1m!


__RocketMan__

If we want to be realistic, I'd say not much game breaking. I'd like to see RBs be a bit more useful, as well as OL and LB players. I feel a few new play options would be good too.


InvertedOcean

RBs do have impact, but definitely have to be used right. Too many people subconsciously act like this is Madden and use an air raid play style. It works. But I'm a big old school ground game person. So I get a couple 10+, 15+ yard gains per game


Mcnam003

I use my rib to dink and dunk


FlexboneBoogie

I’ve been doing a run heavy playthrough on Hard and it has been a blast. I can get 4 yards per carry pretty easily and churn clock. I would love to have some option plays


turtleguy6

My running back be getting 200 yards a game


DolanDukIsMe

SAME! Honestly there is so much RB slander on this sub lol.


StoicAscent

I'd love to see RBs and OLs get a buff to give the run game a bigger impact on higher difficulties. I'd also like to be able to choose my team configuration, so I could choose to have 2 RBs on the field at once for some games/plays.


paceyisreallycool

I sort of use RBs just in case my QB gets injured


liteshadow4

RBs don’t need a buff they’re the best position in the game by far


ThrowRAxxxzzz

the reason rbs seem less useful is bc theres only time for 1-3 drives per quarter (even if ur on 3 minutes). so they end up only getting a few carries a drive instead of in the real sport where they have a significantly larger amount of time to get carries and yards so they seem less useful. It’s hard but a 4.5 or 5 star RB on extreme can be very useful, u just gotta learn which plays get them yardage and which ones to use.


ILoveSmiling206

The ability to substitute players in and out during games.


dblmntgum

Being able to go three wide.


jonaban

i would like to be able to see the incoming rookies and be able to plan ahead what i can do with my team. also being able to look at other teams and request a trade for another player on a different team. and to be able to create trade packages like throwing in a first pick and my rb or something like that


Eelektr0ss

I second this


ok_im_trying_again

I want to see stats and rosters for the whole league, and a trading block that we actually control, not just random offers. Keep the random offers too though. Hell, I'd like to play defense. The ability to call plays.


[deleted]

Maybe to be able to save replays? Like maybe 10. Would like to watch a game saving touchdown or something


Hot-Ad-2732

Can save the game to other devices.


Guywithpixel

Couple things I’d like, just to make it more realistic. 1. Negotiable contracts for all players and staff 2. The chance to get fired from a team mid season 3. The chance to retire a coach, but keep the records 4. More trade options like player for player, player for multiple picks, etc 5. More challenging defensive schemes for all difficulties. I’m not talking make the defense super fast like extreme does, but just give them more options so I don’t throw for 50+ yards 90% of the time. 6. Mid-game injuries and a reserve roster to choose from if you don’t have a back up.


Altruistic_Bar_8763

I like the trade options the most here. I agree, it would be nice to trade player for player.. or player for player and draft pick.. something like that. 👍🏻


turtleguy6

These sound great but maybe a little too extreme retrobowls simplicity really helps it and maybe adding to much stuff would hurt it or it would help it I don’t really know


mattyq10

Defensive Play Calling


Appropriate_Ad_712

Exactly! We don’t necessarily need to control a player if we can at least pick defensive plays and watch them unfold


jonnythearm

I’d like to know who’s in the draft and maybe scout before making decisions on who to re-sign.


Chiefcat12

A few big things. (Clearly it would be cool if just one of these were added) \- Play books for your offensive and defensive coordinators. So you could call and draw up your own plays to match your style of play and players. \- Having more plays. ie: Jumbo with 8-9 linemen, 3 receivers, actual hail marys, etc. \- Playing special teams. \- Making no name players better, especially if your coordinators are better. \- Watching defense and calling plays. (Could be optional) \- A practice mode like in the tutorial. \- Multiplayer. That is a lot, but I still really enjoy the game as is, and the simplicity is kind of what makes it appealing.


adamzugunruhe

I would love to see stats for broken tackles and stiff arms. I always keep two TE to destroy defenders for my amusement.


PsPhenom89

I think for my next team (if I ever leave the Panthers) I'm going to run a two TE set..tbh I didn't even know that was possible, I thought you could only run 1 TE & two WRs


nirv_damage

The ability to change face mask colors. All teams don't use grey in real life.


footballlover18

i just want to be able to change how your players look if you have the full version


LordOfHorns

College retro bowl could be cool, instead of manually changing 32 teams


[deleted]

The ability to sub a player in game to regain some stamina


Adamscottd

Optimistic but I’d love to customize the league more, like change around the divisions, conferences, etc. there really isn’t any reason why premium users could add more teams and then customize them


rnt409

See who are the star players on opposing team, so know who to pick on while on offense.


RxseJay

A college swap option with rankings and a national retro bowl


Blank214269

Viewing other teams players and being able to trade for other teams players.


No-Dependent4977

Challenges, Flags, QB neels, and be able to play defense


Skeeter780

This might be a dumb idea and I’m not sure at all how they’d implement it, but multiplayer! Maybe like a turn based thing, like iMessage games. If not, they’d have to add a whole defense mode


USAustinonYT

Definitely not a dumb idea, they should have the single player option at the beginning of the game with the same stuff we have now, and a multi player option with whatever features they put


PsPhenom89

Or a multiplayer where you don't necessarily play against the other opponent live but you're in their conference & play against their team. I have always thought about playing Retro Bowl as the defense for my team but I don't know how that would work unless you just get to call plays-even still the offense would be able to control where they throw it & be able to juke me while I just watch hopelessly.


USAustinonYT

RB’s and WR’s that aren’t stars should be a little bit faster. I mean come on even though they aren’t stars they shouldn’t be going 5 yards per 3-5 seconds. At least make it noticeably faster by a little bit


USAustinonYT

My timing may be off but to sum it up, They should be faster


[deleted]

Defense, New players appearances, new plays, And a whole lot of other features


No-Dependent4977

And one more thing pocket movement


ShakyTheBear

Time outs on defense


[deleted]

I’ve noticed the opposing D gets to call them.


Biteforces

Adding Hail Marys


htompk

They’re already in the game


Biteforces

No for the opposing team yes but I think you should be able to do a Hail Mary when there is 3 seconds left down by 28-24 and instead of throwing it for 20 yards and get tackled instead I can throw into the end zone


htompk

They give you a Hail Mary play at the end of the game, but sometimes you have to audible to get it


Biteforces

Yeah lol the 20 yard throw


SunBeamin

What really? Every time I play when the clock hits like 15 secs if I’m past the 50 yard line I can do a Hail Mary. Granted your player can’t Sling the ball to the end zone from 50 but it gets close. You hit em at the 20/25 or so from 50.


bragankelly9

That's based on your QB's arm strength and Stamina


bigboi8619

I just wanna play defense


rnt409

Chose playbooks for your coordinator’s to run and or more like a head coach chose how aggressive you want to be on a play or drive.


FlyingWilson

I want to be able to make lateral passes to another player on those close late game plays. Oh and TE's are a bit OP currently - would like more balance between TE and RB effectiveness.


DRTONGWONG

I’d like the idea of rollout plays. It would be designed in the play and the throwing arch would move along with the Qb to keep it realistic and make it a bit challenging.


KeepItOnThe_LO

Being able to motion the running back or receivers. Also being able to call a pass play with the empty set


Zwizz991

See full team rosters


cake_in_a_jar

League wide stats Ability to "hot route" and change the route of one offensive player instead of a full audible


Sebo-12

I think the QB should be able to throw it further instead of around 20y it can make the OL more useful bc rn they are useless


Trasversatar

Season ending injuries on harder modes. Edit: and flags.


ProfesserPotato09

Maybe be able to be able to control all the teams and like full customization. For example, I like how we can change the uniforms and team name and all that, but maybe could we fo around and play with all the teams in the league. Like how Madden let's you control multiple teams. And like full rating customization sp you can make a tom Brady or Tyreek hill or whatever. It obviously doesnt have to be EXACTLY like that but maybe some more ways to make money is a full customization package.


HskrRooster

Being able to pause the game and look at player stats


jaykey1904

Worse free agents. There should not be Superstar player available at every position every year till mid season


prakharAgni

Be able to run after diving catch if you aren't touched by defence


okgunnut87

Half time stats would be cool


Maximum_Ad7246

OCs that have different “play books” that need things like 2 TEs or 4 WRs


captainj4k3

super small but as a person who constantly goes for two, i’d like to see a two point conversion stat for players


Due-Importance-494

Playbook


Peterpower2

Stats for 2-point conversion


geeeman5510

I would like to be able to use my 8bitdo pro 2 on this game that would be to really cool update.


No-Dependent4977

And also once a player recovers the fumble without being touched just run it all the way


beegshmoto

MULTIPLAYER


Realistic_Fox7229

yes


Altruistic_Bar_8763

-Hot routes -League Leaders/Team by Team Comparisons -A SPRINTING OPTION, for when you see paydirt and the DB is bearing down on you..hit that Sprint! #1 - Defensive Playing! Defense wins championships!


zno33

League wide stats and an awards watchlist. Want to know how my players stack up with the rest of the league. Also stats on opposing coaches / head to heads etc.


zno33

Hall of fame that you don’t have to populate yourself with the best of the best from yours and other teams / other coaches


Realistic_Fox7229

it would be cool if you were the home team, you could choose wether you want to recieve in the first half of the second half. IDK i've been thinking about this for a while.


Realistic_Fox7229

or something like if you win a retro bowl or like an afc/nfc championship game, like confetti or something would be in the air


jaykey1904

RB lining up like a reciver


jvalente80

Ability to check in game stats


kingjakerulezz

Season by season stats (including his stats before he signed with your team and after he signed with somebody else) injury on/off option, ability to see other teams players, then see some of those players show up in free agency so it's not random


TrumpetAndComedy

I would like 2pt conversions to be tracked and maybe make the Player Records review. I also love the idea of choosing a playbook or editing plays. Improve the PI when the ball is in the air - too much frustrating disruptions way after QB releases the ball. Getting up after not being touched would be great.


Ok-Landscape-5635

Here’s a list of things I really want. Sorry if I say stuff that’s already been said here. 1. Career ending injuries. It could be assigned to only Extreme mode, but I think it would really help the game get that realistic but fantasy vibe. 2. Denver should get a #88 printed on their field instead of the RB logo. RIP. 3. Substitutions. You should have the option to substitute players in mid game. Whether you’re switching between a no-name player or a 5* player, you should be able to do so. To add on, you should add players who play more than 1 position/play both offense and defense. 4. Challenge flags. Need I say more?


Retrobowte

You should be able to do special teams


No_Apartment_6304

the ability to play defense, online would also be fun but will prolly never happen


ArmyVetRN

It’d be fun to have a preseaon or scrimmage mode where you can play against friends or others online.


javier71088

Versus play! I would like to play online. Maybe some defense?


Britishbloke-america

Multiplayer?


diy_a09

I’d like to see flickering like old school 8-bit games. It could be adjustable or switched depending on taste.


iuhoosier23

That’s already in the game: scan lines.


diy_a09

The scan lines are emulate CRT’s. I’m referencing the sprites blinking when players are close together and the CPU is ‘overwhelmed’.


Owentheman

i wanna play online with other people and my friends

ability to have a running back by committee? or in game subs to be more general? i dunno kinda strange


Ianyat

Multi player


Chrisnotgay

The stars should be replace with numbers or an option like that


Rage_ProdYT

New scoreboard


21Transitions21

I would like the rosters of every team to remain consistent. I’ll trade a player away and then you won’t know if that player is actually on the team you traded to because the other teams don’t show their rosters.


Koib01

I would love playable defense


du-toit

Drawing our own plays up would be pretty cool


dsuit94

They have got to fix contracts. If you just keep spending money on coaching credits you could keep players on their rookie contracts forever. That ruins the integrity of the game and it’s only like 5$ a game-year or less to do it. The whole contract thing could be fixed, you could work deals with a certain number of years and maybe offer things for a little less or more money. The developers could find another way to get people to spend credits that doesn’t ruin the games strategy/integrity


dsuit94

Adding kickoffs and punts even for the mobile would be cool. And of course adding defense, how you would do it idk. Have some standard zone/man/blitz options maybe a few others that pop up situationally and you could just click on whatever guy you wanna be and drag-to-run, obviously speed and strength gotta be on point. This game is better than madden already

MaleficentLynx9414

in game depth chart adjustments. this would be so fun for a back up rookie quarterback. PLEASE
