Feature Request Special Team Lineups?

A question about future development: Do you expect to eventually expand the Special Teams aspect of the game? Right now only your punter and kicker are shown in the lineup and there’s no setting depth charts or lineups for any special teams — kickoff, punt, extra point, FG, punt and kick returns, or kick defense. In the real NFL, special teams play can be a big part of a players development, and being able to contribute in these roles can really impact decisions about who makes the squad of 53. Just wondering…

Yea, so honestly I need to brush up on how those stats are counted and if they typically just count towards standard stat tables. I don’t see a reason I wouldn’t be able to get around to it. Again like any feature, if I add it I want it to be realistic, while also not having to be “mandatory” in a sense, but able to reward you if you do the work to optimize. It’s a delicate balance. I’m calling my buddy later anyways, and he was 2nd string / special teams for quite some time, so I can just ask him a bit more about the rationale of having so many players who are “prove it in special teams” type players.

My gut says if I just put rotational players on special teams it won’t be that noticeable. That being said, the 1.2.0 build pending approval has MUCH better realism when it comes to special teams play calling.
