Offensive and Defensive play creators to allow full control of gameplanning.

Obviously, nothing too hard to code. Preset run path templates/blocking schemes and WR route templates, etc.

I think you're grossly underestimating the time and effort it would take to add this to the game. On top of that effort, you also have to consider storage space and performance as every owner suddenly started creating their own plays.

While I don't know exactly what they use for programming and such, I can say with the program experience I have personally, a template based play creator isn't that much of an issue. It would be one thing if you have a play creator where you can draw any route and any path and anyone blocking anyone.

JDB has been opposed to this in the past due to the potential for exploits.

Its football. The 'exploit' is only an exploit if the opponent lets it be exploited. If I see an opponent running the same thing over and over I would stop it. Its kind of a bad hypothesis.
