I think it would be nice to add a link to the weekly schedule in the Team or perhaps Community section on the left hand side of the page. Thanks.

Actually, now that I think about it, why not add the weekly schedule to the right hand side of the page, under the buddy list?

Since there's already an option to choose "Depth Chart until 4th" in game tactics. Instead of relying on your coach to decide what would be best for your team in the 4th, why not allow the option to set the actual player rotation for the 4th quarter? Perhaps even for every separate quarter.

That option follows the depth chart for every quarter. What I'm suggesting is that you should be able to set a different player rotation lineup for the 4th quarter, since you already have the option of letting your coach decide a separate rotation for the final quarter.

Sometimes you don't want the "best" lineup in every quarter. The more control a manager has over his team's tactical approach for each game, the better.

Those who prefer simple tactics would still be able to set their team's rotation for the entire game without having to worry about each individual quarter just as they do now, so this change wouldn't effect them. As of right now, there's not enough depth. Some people like the minimalist style of gameplay, but I'm sure there are twice as many who'd rather play a more engaging game.

Frankly, I just don't see how adding more options will effect the game negatively. It can only enhance BuzzerBeater's gameplay. Those who'd still prefer to keep their team management to a minimum would still be able to set their tactics the way they'd normally do. The only difference is that those who have the desire to tweak additional details would be able to do so, as well.

Here's a negative: What if introducing an additional layer of micromanagement conferred an advantage to those willing to spend that extra time doing the micromanagement, but those willing to do so were a minority? You'd kinda piss off the majority.

I think there's a balance to be struck between a deep game experience and one that's not too time-intensive. In my opinion, the equilibrium is pretty good right now.

Personally, I spend a lot of time on BB, as you might expect, and I absolutely do not want the extra detail you're proposing in setting tactics.
