things that would make cfb 28 better than focusing on an open world concept: * update visit logic - an A+ visit on a close loss should help me, not have 0 impact just bc i lost * fix NIL logic - if somone wants 100 NIL and goes all year with no offers, my 70 NIL offer shouldnt hurt * fix auto progression - i have friends that have NO CHOICE but to do manual progression now because they realize how bad the auto progression logic is - that's unfortunate * make manual progression the default - if we auto progress when we dont spend points ANYWAYS, why can't manual just be the default? multiple times ive been autoprogressed bc i forgot to turn it on * make archetypes dynamic - you can make a 'pure runner' QB 99 short,med,deep accuracy and he will be 79 overall. sorry bro, at that point THAT IS NOT A PURE RUNNER!! THAT IS PEYTON MANNING! * add dynamic storylines - genuinely SUCKS that everyone knows the 'diamond in the rough' players at the start of portals. ruins the fun of scouting and finding players - make dev traits, skill caps etc dynamic for NIL players if we WANT (not required) * add an API - small thing, but so many more people would be invested if they had free tools to support their dynasties. EA is harming themselves by not letting folks build those types of things natively * add transaction logs - we know it stores it in the PC save files, why not let that be public to make sure cheating doesnt occur? * on that note, just go copy a TON of the principles that fantasy football does well. league histories, deep stats, heavy customization, etc - dynasty mode and fantasy are both 'fake football' that people love - learn from them * simulate a dynasty 10 years in the future - see what breaks, and plz fix - wont emphasize this more than we already have * consider balancing nil expectations across HS and transfers - right now the meta is to land like 25-30 transfers per class - that's probably not good? IN GENERAL: give players more customization, more 'knobs and levers' to mess with, more data, and more closely follow 'reality' this is just a brain dump but we could probably think of 20+ more things BEFORE EVEN TALKING about gameplay!!!
