New formations that would require the few DCs left to build onto their already stagnant DAI may just be the final straw for some of us.

I think it could get really interesting if they would offer both Offensive and Defensive play creators and let people just have fun creating new exploits, exploit answers to those exploits, rinse and repeat until we're all out of flex and they can turn out the lights

Yeah, I would really love an offensive play creator.

The DPC was gimped because Bort got tired of working on the blocking code and he thought that might be a way that he wouldn't have to work on it anymore. For the most part he hasn't, aside from a couple of post-gimp "exploit blitzes" that after several seasons Bort finally decided to address. And I was one of the main ones pushing for bunch-spread to be fixed, lest anyone accuse me of bias as a DC. But exploits still exist. EE came up with a nice RILB blitz, HCreek came up with the FS ones that screws up the blocking, someone (maybe HCreek again) came up with the DE drop that causes a missed vision check on the blitzing CB over 50% of the time, etc.

The narrative of the DPC being overpowered was absolutely never ever true. Go back and look at the World League scores from back then. Bort sold that bill of goods to justify his decision, but it was never the case.

When the DPC was gimped, we had way fewer offensive plays and formations to counter it with.

Anything that mixes it up would be fine by me.

Unfortunately, all of borts tinkering time is now thrown down the GLB2 hole.

Seems to be Corndog's tinkering time for that. Bort must be working on further projects.

I had the most fun as an OC when the DPC was active - from trying to counter overload blitzes to finding the holes - it made game planning per team, per game much more important.

Play creators on both sides of the ball would be epic - but a programming nightmare

this suggestion isn't too bad.

would certainly be an interesting/+notable change.

You have more pull than me. Do eeeet.

+1 It would create massive interest again imo.

Massive might be an overstatement

Yeah most of the DC's already quit the game but it would stir the pot a little.
