    Yes exactly! They sound like the team name options when you try to move a team in franchise mode.

    I watched some. You know, I actually like some of the rules and ideas to speed the game up and make it more exciting, but man... it was some really horrible football being played. Tons of bad passes, dropped passes, blown coverages, etc. So, a League I don’t really care about with a really horrible quality product? Does anybody see this making it past 2 seasons?

    I feel like it has a chance because of the new things you mentioned plus how they have added the betting aspect to it. People are football / gambling crazy so any fix they can get I think they might go for it.

    Honestly...I found myself liking the rules of it way more than the NFL. All the players talent is relative so the actual football I think will be fine once players get used to each other and the shorter play clock. But I really enjoyed it.

    It'll last 2 seasons. Gambling, "honeymoon phase", it being football in an odd time in sports, it'll all add up to being alright financially. Sadly though, I think after yr 1 it'll still be in the red. But it'll work out I think.

    There's things they can do to earn loyalty from some new fans. If they can get as many of the really obvious calls right, instead of bogging down the game for 5 minutes in replay only to get the call wrong anyway, it'll help a lot. Less officiating drama = better.

    The fact the tickets for a lowerbowl are like $20-$50 is what will make it fun. Families can go for the price of one NFL ticket.

    And with the speed of the game it will make it actually enjoyable to watch the game live. I am not a fan of watching NFL live. And while I know some of it has to do with the fact that their TV presentation is awesome, it's just incredibly slow and boring when you can barely see and have to wait minutes between a lot of plays.
