This game is so much fun, I love playing this game all the time, but I wish there was more, I don't remember the last time there was a big update, something I really wish there was in this game was flags, sometimes the other team just grabs my guy, and then he doesn't catch the ball, also it would be nice just every so often there will just be a random flag or something on you or the other team, also add the new rivalry uniforms and update the uniforms to the current ones, like the Lions uniforms

Fun game really enjoyable to play in the beginning but just becomes impossible to have any way of determining your victory as even having one of the best defenses can't stop the attack. Have uninstalled Ed as this made it unfun for me

Only getting POSITIVE things after losses? Then I'm getting NEGATIVE feedback after wins only? I have to spend CC to cheer up people after wins and losing morale or CC after losses regardless of the outcomes. Weird.

You should allow players to be traded for game dollars as an addition to draft picks. The two additional uniforms per team is just one uniform. The game also seems to decrease the draft players ratings over time. The draft players get progressively worse as you play. Instead of having a nice variety of ratings, you just get a bunch of Canadian League Players.

Was really enjoying this game until you start winning then they make the opposing DB gods and you cant get a pass off while my 5-star DEFENSE AND PLAYERS can't stop a 3-star offense from scoring every drive.
