FOF 7 -VS- FOF 8

To those who have bought the game and tried it out what is biggest thing or two that you have seen in game you like or dislike between the two versions.

#1 (Positive) So far in SP game and I am not sure if it is because I have incorrect setting or something but I really like how talent pool seems more solid. There is those superstars some who come out of no where to be one there is also those bust. However seems like talent on all teams have many more 55 - 65 scout rated players. I am averaging like maybe only 3 players per season with ranking below 40. If MP has more players with higher skills hopefully we will see tighter division races.

#2 ( Negative ) Really don't like that only time you can resign players is during FA and late FA. You resign a guy at huge rate pay then after EX 2 he crashes on you. I also miss having the " View Team Summary " menu.

The UI is abysmal. So much so I've basically stopped playing the game.

[Matt]

View Team Summary is there.

Positive - Offense
Negative - Defense, depth charts

[Matt]

Also you can sign players up to the start of the season.

I found one other thing I am really hating, and that is when I search for MLB and it comes back with 1 or 2 of them and rest all OLB. Same thing applies to DL. Another item is when you use recommend and it places a guy your scouts see as 35 as the starter over another guy scouts see as 68. I really don't understand why it does that. Hate that part, hopefully it is just a bug that will be patched soon.

[Matt]

It's not a bug, it says right on the screen "rankings are adjusted based on how well they fit the position group."

[Matt]

And for your other complaint if you look on their player card it's because they identify as a "inside LB" probably due to weight and size.

So your saying sometimes a guy scouts see as 35 is better than one seen as 65? even with the 65 guy having better bars? I know sometimes one bar here or there might be better like run blocking by a few points but rest of bars guy seen as 65 is much better. Just personally don't understand that part.

I've never seen that on the O side of the ball. Only the DL and LB's are graded out per position group.

What is the highly rated guy's endurance rating? Chances are if that is low he will only be in on a couple different personnel packages.

I did not really notice endurance LV's, I will pay attention see if that explains it TY

Sorry Matt, my miswording meant like run defense. I have also never seen it on O line either.

Wanted a Balanced O Coor with all the marbles on Playcalling. I literally got the worst playcalling OCoor there was.

Meanwhile someone like Gerald Benson who is Balanced with almost a full bar of Playcalling sits unemployed.

This game is so bad in some areas it's laughable.

The coach thing I agree, I don't understand what would be so hard to just to change it from putting in values of coach your looking for, to where you rank the top 10 coaches each position you want. Then say when sim is ran and your 7th in line to draft coach if your top 2 picks have been taken, you get the one you have ranked in 3rd spot. I feel this one issue alone would bring back a lot of players. I'd be much happier with this type of system.
