When a team comes out in different formations one could guess the play pretty easliy after a team uses one play out of that formation only all game long.
On the other hand it should be a bit harder if there were two and also a bit harder with three plays out of one formation and so on.
Using a more diverse set of plays within one formation should have a benefit to play calling as the defense would be guessing more.
Same for defense. If they blitz out of the nickel ten times and that is thier only nickel play .....i think the QB will catch on quicker under these circumstances.
After five plays what ever, but a big play factor should be added in. Its just so visually predictable.
I thought this was included in the last update (defenses picking up same plays throughout the game that is)? Am I wrong?
It is supposed to, seems to have a very minimal if non existent impact.
If it did indeed work, just curious, say if you (lellow) run one play all game, does that improve my familiarity against you running that play or familiarity league wide?

i would say your familiarity when it gets run against you .
i dont think the familiarity is league wide nor would i want it to be because people who have more than just 1 league would have a considerable advantage over people who only have 1 league if that was the case

I believe it was supposed to just have an impact for the current game.
But, I haven't seen this having any in-game impact at all so far.
My thinking would be is that if team A runs 1 play for every possession, you gain familiarity. Why can't the knowledge learned from that game be translated as overall familiarity .. if that makes sense.

I think it does.
I think you're talking about two different things. Your team gains familiarity with a play every time you run it, or have it run against you (and in practice).
Then, there is the in-game penalty that is supposed to be applied to a team that runs the same play(s) over and over, and a boost to the opponent during that game once the play(s) have been run a certain number of times.
The second part is what I don't see actually having an in-game impact like it's supposed to.
