FranklinNoble Posted November 3, 2006 Share Posted November 3, 2006 [quote=bmfyxpp;157834] - If possible, consider making the "recruit recommendations" and "recommended recruit pitches" html pages like the "team commits" page. It would be nice to keep those open in a separate window while I'm recruiting. [/quote] This would be really nice to have. As it stands, I have to pretty much ignore this information, because I'm too lazy to write it down, but it would come in handy if I could view it side-by-side with my recruiting efforts. Also, I still can't figure out how to remove an old league from the "load league" drop-down menu. Not sure if you saw my post in the tech support forum...

I move the BBCF screen down a little on my screen. That allows me to switch back and forth between the game and the printed email. Not the greatest solution but it's better than ignoring or having to write it down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

galaril Posted November 3, 2006 Share Posted November 3, 2006 [QUOTE]The 4 stock gameplans will be changed before camp and when you change your offense in camp to reflect the team's new offense. If you want a specific gameplan that will never change, make sure to create a new gameplan outside of the 4 stock ones. User created gameplans will not be changed.[/QUOTE] When does this occur week 2? I have used in the previous season and have had the team set to option offense/ 4-3 defense. But, I see in the new season expectations that my team is vertical passing and a 4-4 defense:confused: This is during week 1. So does that mean my gameplans are screwed up for the coming season even if I select the option and 4-3 in week 2 of the season? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The recruiting emails are useless unless you want to write them down each week. This makes the recruiting somewhat tedious and I actually dread the recruiting this game. I would let the AI handle it but I don't have enough confidence that the AI would handle it for the type of offense and/or defense I have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hitmanwa Posted November 3, 2006 Share Posted November 3, 2006 Only other thing I've found so far and I don't think I've mentioned this yet, not sure. When you use the mouse wheel to scroll on the player visit screen it automatically accepts visits...no biggie but it's annoying. Still a great update so far. Love the defensive changes. I looked at FoF '07 last night and was really unimpressed. It looked more like an update to me, I may be wrong though. I think BB spoiled me. I like FoF don't get me wrong but I think I'll wait for Arlie's pro game as I'll be too consumed with BB until he gets around to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
