Player names are fine.

Can you do the thing where you can randomize team names three times and the real ones magically appear?

Orioles1966 · 02-12-2015, 09:36 AM

Shouldn't take long to change 32 team names.

Thanks for the clarification, Francis.

Do you plan on making the overall ratings based on how well they fit in a certain system? (Like they do in Madden for a couple of years now) So pass rushing OLB won't be signed by a 4-3 defense unless they change them to DE and no NT gets signed by a Team running a 4-3. It would make the game more realistic that way if ratings are based on systems

Francis Cole · 02-20-2015, 07:16 AM

As discussed somewhere on a previous page way back, there are no overall ratings for this exact reason.

Oh I must have missed that, sorry for asking again

But that's great, always hate the idea of an overall rating anyway

Francis Cole · 02-20-2015, 04:16 PM

No worries, I can't expect you to read all 35 pages

DJ3K · 02-20-2015, 11:36 PM

Just to confirm, will this be modable like OOTP? Could we can download an "all in one mod" with facescans and logos?

StLee · 02-21-2015, 09:13 PM

Speaking of mods, is there any chance for "early" access to the uniform templates for BTS?

I have made quite a few fictional uniforms for a dice and paper game I was going to write into a dynasty, but it would be awesome to be able to make uniforms for them in BTS. I will be a first-day buyer

Also, with the templates available, NFL uniform makers will have them ready for the release date.

Note: when I am asking for early access, I don't mean NOW but some time at least a couple of weeks before the expected release date. In summary, I know it won't be ready yet, but when things are very close to ready, can you release the templates?

I second this!

I would love some kind of scenario, in witch you start directly after the superbowl and make all the decisions before the franchise tag, the free agent periodes and you can change everything, sign and resign the guys you want.

I am sure that everything will be in this way

Francis Cole · 02-23-2015, 04:46 AM

The game starts a few weeks before the start of pre-season, so the the draft will have already happened for that year and the team's will have their correct players as of that date.

natedawgdude3 · 02-23-2015, 10:13 PM

So I'm guessing that means the game will be released after the NFL draft

colourmebrad · 02-24-2015, 07:40 AM

All they've committed to is "2015" so that probably means that it will be released significantly after the draft.

Penfold75 · 02-24-2015, 10:07 AM

I am thinking the game is probably going to be released when the new season starts. Seems ages away but I am willing to wait and I am very excited for a new football GM/coach game.

RsTaX · 02-26-2015, 05:47 PM

I really can't wait for this to release..I check almost daily for news. Anyway I do have a question and a suggestion.

Will there be surprise players in drafts like say a 5th rounder with high potential and a good GM can turn him into a pro bowler by starting him?

I feel like the NFL Draft + free agency experience is one of the best parts of being a hardcore football fan just debating on who to pick in round 1 with other fans and who to let go..Who's asking for too much $$ etc

Should we have a way to search what AI "beatwriters" are "tweeting" about like rumors of other players demanding too much money and may be cut? ...this way We can track the latest information easily and maybe go after these players in free agency. Basically NFL.com but in the game.

Francis Cole · 02-26-2015, 06:10 PM

There will be players who surprise everyone (like Brady), however it's more likely things will go the other way and your first round pick doesn't turn out to be what you hoped for.

There will not be "rumours" for V1, however if you want to look at actual facts like who has been cut then ether you can visit the transactions screen (league-wide or by individual team), or there is a ticker type thing at the bottom of the screen which will inform you of the most important latest news.

Hi Francis. Will there be Talent Change Randomness (TCR) like in OOTP in case a user wants more or fewer late round picks becoming studs? Thank you.

Francis Cole · 03-01-2015, 06:25 PM

Unfortunately I'm not familiar with what TCR is in OOTP, but no, the user can't set if they want more/less late round studs.
