I love the idea of fictional leagues. As far as customizing is concerned, would it be possible when editing each team, to create individual logos along with the team names?

And in regards to the on the field 2D action, it would be nice to have the option of designing the look of each team's home field and, if possible, to design the look of each team's "on the field" 2D representatives while watching how each play turns out. I am thinking instead of the simple colored dots, that we can watch X' and O's, position abbreviations (Q.B., RB, etc.) or little helmets(my personal favorite, or whatever we can design.

Not sure how easy it would be to program this, but maybe each team created can have their own folder that the game engine refers to when playing out the week's games. Also, being able to watch other games playing out in 2D might be fun too. My team may not make it to the finals (or even play-offs for that matter), but I would like to see the rest of the games and how they play out.

For a fictional league, I would like to be able to create each team's look, based on what part of the country or what city they are from. For example, "The Phoenix Scorpions" would have a Scorpion logo in the center of their home field, while during the 2D action on the field, little red helmets with black scorpions on them. Or "The Arkansas Rebels" would have a confederate flag in each end zone on their home fields with little silver helmets with rebel flags for the on field action.
Again, I'm not sure how possible this is to do, but it sure would be fun when creating custom leagues.

One other question. Not sure if this has been covered or not, but will weather be represented in the game? Having the option to also create each team's field and how it would look in the rain or snow would be fun as well and would serve as a reminder as we watch how each play we call plays out in 2D that we are playing in inclement weather. And if wind is used, perhaps just a simple dial or arrow pointing in the direction that the wind is blowing and how fast.

Just a couple of ideas anyways. Thanks and I am very much looking forward to this game, being a life long football(American) ;-) fan.
