My first gut reaction is that changing the game tactics to benefit only those people who are watching it live won't happen. That isn't quite fair. However, allowing us to set tactic options based on the score or certain in-game scenarios would be nice (although I'm guessing it would a headache to write the code)....

As far as scouting goes. I don't think we should be able to see the skill sets of every player. By looking at boxscores, watching game replays and doing your due diligence, you should be able to determine what tactics to use against an opponent......

I'm not a big proponent of the "make it easier to make it better" philosophy and by allowing everyone to see every players skill set just makes it easier.....

However, as I mentioned, I do like the idea of having "optional tactics", where you could switch from look inside to motion, for example, if the opponent is playing a zone. Having coach skill impact how quick these "adjustments" are made could be another enhancement......although, I understand that the "game engine" is already designed to allow the coach to make those decisions already.....I think.

Just me 83 cents worth

your first and second advices sounds good but third one is impossible i think. because if third one would be, you have to be online when match is playing...

Analysing the other team is already being done by the good players?

I know I look at upcoming opponents previous games to see what tactics they played and who was their strongest player.

If they are using a single SG to score all their points and playing outside. Then I used 3-2 zone.

If they always adapt to whoever they are playing then I will try and guess what they will do and counter that guess.

So far I have been very successful in doing so playing against my friends, which pisses them off no end.

fair enough snuzers,but IRL i can go and see (either live or on tape) every player in the world and put together a good idea on how to defend or attack him.

i think that some sort of "scouting" is necessary, especially because the current match reporst are far from reality.

just my 9 cents, of course...
