When you watch plays in the replay, there is no reason not to go ahead and display the formations for both offense and defense for everyone. Most of us can figure it out, but having it displayed would save the effort of counting CBs and WRs and so forth.
Anyone with OC privileges for a given team should instead see the actual offensive play called by his team. Similarly, anyone with DC privileges for a team should see exactly which defensive play was called by his team.
You could put that information just between the time down and distance line (Q1 13:11 etc) and the result line that pops up after the play is complete. So it'd be something like:
Q1 13:11 2nd & 10 on OPP 39
Strong I HB Sweep Strong vs. 4-3 Defense
Dino Bianchini, Jr. pitch to Bit Blaster, PAT made by Chris F. Arley [TD] up the middle (39 yard gain)
The play should be a hoverable link that shows an image of the play when you hover over it.

How about for offense they name the play, but for defense and the DC, show what your players are supposed to do, like it shows on the DPC, during the play?

But I think it would be simpler to just name the ... play. Failing that, it would be helpful to just post the name of the output in the AI (assuming it didn't come from basic AI).

maybe just have it say "Using Basic Defensive AI" or the actual Play called if there is one. Which would help coordinators also if they are using the advanced AI and it shows the "using Basic" text, they would know that something didn't match any input and can easily find and fix it.
