Hmmm...interesting. Adding a timeout option in the tactics. Why didn't I think of that...
another drop down possibly. call timeouts if/when:
down by 10 in the 1st qtr
opponent goes on 10-0 run in the 4th qtr
losing by 3 with less than 30 seconds to play...

The possibilities are endless.......oops, that's why we don't have it.

I'm guessing the BB's have "coded" the timeout logic into the game engine for the coaches.....
However, if individual head coaches were added to the game, you could add a slew of coaching options that would impact the game engine....yes, I'm sure it's a very complex set of code, but think of the possibilities. Even if it were simplified.
The Head Coach could focus on game management. When to call timeouts, substitution patterns, defensive calls for different situations in the game, when to foul intentionally, how big of a deficit before you start pressing, when to start running the full 24 seconds off the clock when up by a certain margin.....
Interesting. I say add it to the list (if it isn't already there!!!) :)

its a nice idea and really that the possibilities are endless..
need only willpower , and good staff.. and this already have .. =)

this is the largest plan feature we are planning to add to the GE this season... to what extent coaches will have ALL the features you implemented or just a subset i'm not sure. I think we will start simple and add complexity as much as is feasible without making the GE unstable.

we first need to fix some things up about the end game logic etc so it works better.. cause right now clock management at the end of games sometimes feels like Andy Reid is managing the game.

the new coaching ratings?

they are being generated and stored for all games since I think sometime in the playoffs last season i think.

what needs to be done now is just some asp work to get them to display in a nice way in the boxscore. I think that's on the list to do by tomorrow..so we should see them for the new games.

the ratings system is transparent as it is.... the coaching rating is useless.. .the new ratings should show you how your team performed offensively and defensively on a position by position basis.

this is the largest plan feature we are planning to add to the GE this season...

I am happy to ear that .. =)
maybe share us with more bigs things that you planning .. ? =]
to know what to wait .. its always good :>

more thing , in place of open a new thread ..
what about a youth national team .. its also one of your plans .. ?

i believe so

excellent. I figured it was on the list!!!
thanks for the update.
