Seems like we have done about all of those over the years in one form or other.
My ideas are a little simplier. Though perhaps difficult to complete
1. Develop if possible an app, just having one in the Google play store will lead to some fresh players signing up. Now I get the feeling there are too many issues with developing the app and if that is so its time in the words of George Burns "to say goodnight Gracie"
2. Flash is about to become passe. What are we going to do about that. We have got to have a way to follow our games. I dig the current interface because it feels like your truly following a game.
3. Hotshot training. Training is special fun if you have the patience. Most don't. Maybe not "double" the overall speed like once in the past but allow Two areas of focus . Naturally one trains faster. But it would be nice to be able to work on two separate types of player groupings or even better yet to REALLY crank out some pops on that slamming new draftee. Plus I think with this the types of build possible especially in regards to guards could transform the way we play. Inside focus offenses have dominated for years because it is easier to build those skill sets. This could help balance that.
4. Reorganize the leagues. I had an idea if this type years ago and it should be revisited. Let's use the USA as a example. 1024 teams, 4 human levels and a d5 for what I call the corporate teams, the bots. 16 top flight, 64 in two, 336 in three, 1024 in four and 4096 in five! That is FOUR times the number of filler teams. Now d1 thru d3 stay for all intents and purposes filled, sure teams are lost from time to time but in essence everything stays full. Now based upon these current figures there are approximately 608 bot teams in d4 alone! That is 9.5 per league!
Now if we split this into four separate regions with three leagues in each that would equal 1664 teams. That's 416 teams per region, right now a even distribution would be 256 going into each regional . That would leave about 160 slots in each regional to be filled with bots. That means the d3 leagues would have about 10 per league. In essence d1 becomes more like a D2 and 2 becomes the new 3 and 3 is the new 4. Yes this "waters down" the high end, but I've got a idea, the teams in each country who win a d1 move into a international super league. I think this sort of reorganizing coupled with my training ideas would lead to a player base that would be energized by the prospect that making it into the upper realms of the game is obtainable. Plus I think it would make the cup hella competitive.
