Is the game perfect, no. it doesnt mean its not still a good game. I have been playing for a while myself so I guess I have a better understanding of the adjustments I need to make for the game to work for me.
First thing I would say is dont over think on the strategies. Let the game handle some things for you. Build to your coaches strengths both Offensively and Defensively because when it comes down to it the coach is going to call his favored plays more often than not during the game regardless what you pick for plays during the game.
The TO issue is the biggest problem but its the same problem for everyone and dave has worked hard on this daily to get it straight. My only suggestion on it is maybe have it set up just like the 2 point conversion. This way its only called when the team has it in their settings. Wouldnt need to code it as much either
But I am against resetting leagues. Some people have paid for their teams in the custom leagues
