im sad nobody likes my idea to allow multiple offenses or defenses on a team, with less of a practice penalty :( in real life you can't be an A in man and an F in zone, which seems to matter to some people. many have argued for overall offense and defense IQ categories, but that is more complicated and has its own issues. i still think it would be great to allow people to get 2x minutes for non-primary categories, to open the door to multiple defense clubs, or even, multiple offense clubs.
You can do that today, I've got a couple of classes that have graduated with my mix of zone/press. Granted, they're not getting to a high level of the secondary D, but it's absolutely possible to get A/A+ in primary defense and B/B+ in secondary today.
Now, when you have kids that are in high 80's and 90's and it's hard to squeeze out full capped growth, maybe those extra points are more painful, but you can play multiple D's, or at least have press as a viable backup for late game gamplanning now.
I don't know what difference it would make in offense, I suppose using FB as a secondary, but that doesn't seem as glaring to me as having press as a late game option. I don't like the idea of guys getting to A's in multiple defenses. Granted this isn't realistic, but I like how the engine sort of rewards you for practicing your chosen set.
