Keep in mind my customers are 50+ years old and may appreciate it.
Even they don't remember single platoon football.

I think it would be too obscure, but then again, I'm a guy who bought a full 2003 Big Ten set, so...

I just think it could be a streamlined version of the all-time teams I offer.  The best 11 from my school can beat your best 11.  So it would be all-time instead of by decade or whatever.  Idk.
.
ELA, do you have any feedback on the game - gameplay or game design.  I have an exciting idea about the playing field being replaced by something better, but won't get to it until summer.

not much for stats on defensive players back in the day

how do you assign yards per play with your LB getting all the touches?
and your stud safety tossing all the passes

Yeah, it would really require some major fudging that I'm not comfortable doing.  Hmmphh.

I was hoping my oldest would be more into it when I bought it.  Figured that would be something we could do together, but it's still a little over his head.  He's started really getting into stratomatic baseball, so I think he's close.  Don't really have the solo time to play the one person version.

I do think the learning curve is steep, but quick.  The first time we played, I thought we'd never have the time to play, but it only took like 3 games before it was second nature which card to go to.  I think it's a hard sell as a one time play, but if you have someone you can play regularly with it picks up.

The games have been a little low scoring, but not obscenely so, and the sample size is too small to draw much from it.

All of my play-testing averaged out to a lot of scoring, but that was 2-player.  I was scared to death that would be the issue.
Most customers buy great teams from the past with strong run defenses.  
.
But I feel good about the running game, as in reality there are often short gains and the rare long gainer (WN situation).  
I'm looking into changing the WN card/situation to be 50% long plays, 25% nothing, 25% fumbles, though.  I need to mess with it more.

Ditka once said that Walter Payton could plan any position on the field.

I believe that.

Ditka also once traded away his whole draft for Ricky Williams, so...

That was after he went nuts, when he started partying too much.
