This is really fun so far! I don't really know much about football at all, so I'm not quite sure what a lot.of the formations entail, but I'm enjoying this. Hopefully next year will come with a budget increase.

Thank you for the post about the formations! That helped a lot with me getting what's going on here. Though I suspect I should still probably google some stuff. One thing I always wished for sports is that they would explain why certain choices are being made, little details. It's something I always really enjoy about the best wrestling announcers- even though it's fictional, they make it clear why in the fiction someone is making a certain choice, why something is exhausting or hard or difficult or wears out the opponent or wrenches at a particular weakness of an opponent- lactic acid buildup and jacking up someone's spine and so on and so forth.

I always find this a little lacking as I've recently started to get into recent sports- baseball and especially American Football, which has so much going on at all times. It's hard to know 'oh, the quarterback made this weird choice to avoid a penalty' or 'Tennis players do the serve above their head because it lets them put the entire body into their swing, and it's one of the strongest hits you can make while still keeping it in bounds because you can fully extend your arm'. Obviously, they're doing it in real time, and this is a screenshot lets play, but you've done a pretty good job at bringing that information of why something is happening and the reasoning behind your choices and such in, and that's really nice! I appreciate it a lot.
