I agree with what you guys are saying.

For online leagues though, I hope they add something to where, if any player is edited by the commish, make that write to the players history and make it where it cannot be deleted. This way you have no doubt the commissioner is being honest. This is one feature I wish OOTP baseball had in it.

Other than that, use the best of the other OOTP games.

I don’t think an NFL game will be as in-depth as baseball for programmers so hopefully it leads to being a very good product.
I have faith in OOTP as their baseball sim is the best there ever has been, IMO.

As you guys mentioned:
Draft
I read that OOTP baseball uses some algorithm and bases talent in upcoming drafts on how your talent is in your league already. Don’t know how true this is, but there needs to be some type of balance mechanism. I don’t want online leagues getting to where every team is a 90 rated overall team. But I also don’t want t see drafts completely sucking like we are experiencing in OOTP baseballs online leagues.

Free Agency
Just like T-rade mentioned. Have different interests in what attracts a player to a team. One thing I don’t like in madden is how it shows how many points each team has when going after free agents.
Keep the numbers hidden.
Make teams put in their best offer and go from there. I shouldn’t be able to see what other teams are offering.

Formation subs
I also like T-rade’s idea on the formation subs, etc.
Give us the ability to customize it.
This is probably my biggest gripe with OOTP baseball is how dumb the AI managers seem to be at times.

I really like tunnelrunner’s ida of the history of the NFL. Like in OOTP baseball, give my league the ability to start wherever we want basically.
Start with real NFL guys or all fiction, etc., again, like OOTP baseball.

Let us use real or fake team names, logos, etc.

Have an interface like OOTP baseball for live sims, etc. interface with websites like statsplus, groupme or slack.

And I forgot, have a weather feature. Snow and rain can play a role in NFL games.
