How about stoppages throughout the play so that you can direct ALL of your figures, design real football plays, and execute the competition of the game at another level?
Perhaps the EF community will finally catch on a realize that what they have been searching for in terms of a new and realistic pro football simulation is already here.
Perhaps I should dig up my old joystick posts from last Fall for another go 'round.
The interesting thing is that eventually [perhaps years from now] the hobby will eventually evolve into the MPF style as coaches continue to ask question such as the question you are asking about the quarterback mobility.
