Long time since anything new was introduced to bring the game closer to reality and, whilst "lifers" like BM will plough on, you can see middling grade players/teams losing interest and drifting. Time for an upgrade. Thoughts:
1 Too many kicks go out on the full. Despite dropping the setting to almost zero it still happens. Change the kick setting to a distance measure to help control it and avoid that looping pattern of scrums. Defences can play out from deep .... if they can get the ball!
2 Too many penalties and conversions are successful when the ball is clearly on the outside of a post. Tighten the margins.
3 Introduce a long lineout throw to be caught by an advancing 10 or 12?
4 Tap and go penalty option?
A couple of these are fuelled by me also playing Touchdown Manager. In that game the player has an option to select a play when they are the team in possession. A few seconds are allowed before a default option kicks in. It could be a useful inclusion in RM.
Just thought fodder.
