Warrior General Games

I suggest that a "CB1" or "CB2" etc. be added on the corner backs dots on the play creator page.

Sometimes it is hard to know which corner back is which while making the custom D plays. It would be useful to put the numbers on the dot so that you don't have to drag the dot around to see which one changes from "Normal" to "Custom (drag n drop)"

I say this a very bad idea.. After alot of more important things get fixed I would love for this to be in game but now is so not the right time.

this, now fix bugs and by fix, we don't mean "nerf"

ya, with showing the blitz, i think there should be an arrow and you can drag it around to select which gap to blitz that player.

You mean fix the current set up, then change the set up and hope it's flawless? Changing the format, then fixing the bugs would make much more sense.

How is giving defense the ability to customize their game plan to prepare for an opponent NOT a great idea? When you get promoted to a league where you have 5 or more levels between you and your competition, trust me, giving the defenses the option to run plays is a fantastic idea.

Select gap assignments, make sure that the offense (or, at least, the offensive line) is shown on the defensive play creator.

This D play creator, like the current offensive options, appeal to the "football" guys that play this game solely for the football aspect of it. There are plenty of other features that appeal to those who prefer the "RPG" side of the game.

edit
One additional thing that I thought of that could be added... Right now you can only drag-drop certain players to certain parts of the field (i.e. a ROLB can only go so far to the middle, DEs can't go very far outside of the hash, etc). I think it might bring a new aspect to the game if you can drag-drop players anywhere you want and then assign a role. It might be cool to have the ability to run 2 SSs and 2 ILBs, for example. Plus, some positions like the SS don't get a lot of love - it could open up a whole new aspect to recruiting if you could start 3 DLs, 2 SSs, 5 LBs, etc. Can't find a 3rd stud LB? Go sign a 2nd SS and work it into your defense. Just number the dots 1-11 and have the first drag-down menu be the option for what position the player is.

Give the NT the ability to go both sides of the Center in a 3-4 formation.

Give a LOS along with 5 WR's and 5 Linemen to line up against. Or choice of offensive formation so we can see gaps and WR coverage. Would be wonderful to move CB's in man on the line to one side or the other to cover.

Blitzing lines/gaps would be nice.

3. Insert the O-Line so we can choose holes

would be nice, but also putting the whole O formation. A drop down where you can change the O formation and see how it lines up against the D.

Not perfect yet, but yeah.

okay...i didn't read through the entire thing, but here are my ideas

1. Allow us to view how the defense lines up versus different formations. In other words, let us pick offensive formations and line our players up accordingly.
Ie.

Allow me to see and adjust where my players line up vs. the singleback. Maybe I want the CB3 off to the left or right of the WR or maybe I want to have my DT and NT set up to spread a blocker for a LB to come through the gap.

2. Allow us the option to have our LBs/Safeties blitz if their man assignment stays in to block.

3. In double coverage situations, allow us to pick where each of the CBs play on the WR...in front of, behind, to the strong side, to the weak side.

4. Set up the different blitz options for DEs/LBs. Blitz Left, Blitz Right, Contain Blitz, (for DL) Stunt.
4a. Allow us to create a blitzing route via drawing using the cursor (similar to the drag and drop for positioning)

5. Allow some more free movement of guys along the line including pulling them back off of the line some in the case of DEs, and allow LBs to start right on the line even with the DL...I've had some problems with this (not sure if its a bug or designed that way so I figured I'd put that in there as well)

6. Allow us to see a replay of the play so we can see it in action against random routes. Do not allow the players to set these routes so that there won't be any way to create ultimate plays to stop a certain play. In other words, you can have it sim against a singleback, but the singleback WRs Routes would be randomized. Would help with identifying where players blitz.

I like the idea of being able to essentially "build" my own defense, but this still doesn't allow me to do it.

I want to run a 4-2-5 defense that only has two CB's and three safties, but I can only get it to work with 3 cb's and 2 safeties.

I can't adjust it that way with the DC either because there will be times I will run a dime or nickel and want the 3rd CB slot filled with a CB.

I would like to be able to insert any position into the build, rather than being stuck with 3 corners and trying to build a 4-2-5 from a nickel set.

You can essentially make a CB a Safety...just move him back.

I run a 4-2-5 in my defense IRL, I would drive to Bort's house and wax his car if he'd adjust the defensive play builder so that I could run both of my strong safeties in place of a 3rd LB and have the freedom to put players on defense anywhere and not be trapped to one pre-defined area (like the FS being on one side, the NT not being able to move over to the opposite side, etc), and the ability to have my two bandits react differently based on whether or not the flow of the play is coming at them.

You could, in the defensive play builder, put the CB3 where the 2nd SS would be, but then if you run a nickel and you have the CB3 playing like a, well, like a CB3 you'd have a guy with a 4-2-5 safety build playing in a coverage corner role. Wouldn't be very practical. In the 4-2-5 the SSs play up sort of like OLBs, essentially making it kind of a 4-4 look with different alignments. The only safety you have "back" is the FS.
