I think that something the game lacked in previous versions was an ability to control the patterns and "lines" that players run outside of the set piece. it was very repetetive and a bit too simple for the player to control their style of play and where they place certain players and how they develop an attack through the phases. A cool idea would be to control certain formations when attacking, the same way as the player could choose defensive formations. for example there could be a wide formation, where players spread the field and pass the ball accross until they get to an overlapp or a mis match and have an attacking opportunity. others could be a mid field crash ball where one player runs a hard line straight into the defense and has a few supporting players in a pod around him. those players would help provide quick ball and start another phase. there could also be ones for slow ball, pick and goes, etc. An interesting concept would be to implement a system where the player can control two players movements at once. One player could use the left stick and if the player holds down some sort of modifier button etc. then they would be able to control the next player down the line with the right stick. Another way to give the player a more realistic experience would be to use the right stick as a sort of hit stick, or stepover stick, which I know a lot of people have also been suggesting. It could also how a player goes into the tackle, meaning if they push the stick forward before getting into contact then they will throw their weight forward at the opponent, or side to side to perform cuts and other moves. There were certain times in the game when i wish i had a fullback coming through the gap, or a big forward there to take the ball up and recycle. I think controlling the style of attack should be the main focus on the new game. it would be really cool and add a whole lot of realism if you could control where your players line up down the field, which lines and what kind of attack they want to do, whether it be go wide for the score or take it straight up the middle with the big boys. Also i apologize if i put this in the wrong thread, that seems to be a big issue around here.
