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.

That's a given. Those who spend more time studying the game and tweaking their strategy should have the advantage, which is already the case as the game currently stands. Implementing more options simply increases the depth, and subsequently the overall fun factor of the game due to a wider variety of tactical decisions, placing more emphasis on managing skills, rather than the basic limited array of logical choices. I guess I'm just not intellectually challenged enough by this game.

How exactly did you come to the conclusion that this game should be about micromanaging match tactics? There are plenty of other aspects of the game that are and should be equally important.

The tactical options are adequate. If you don't feel challenged enough, maybe you should pay some attention to the strategic decisions necessary to manage a successful team.

Eh.. I don't know about that. 90% of the game is basically setting up your player rotation, matchups and tactics. The rest is a cakewalk.

And rotation depends on what and how you train. And what and how you train dictates your team strength, sales income, and the maximum salaries you can afford to pay. Sure, this might be a cakewalk in DIV, but that really says little about the state of the game.

but your proposal would make the lineup page probadly confusing(with 4 Lineups boxes) and this is especially against new users ... The positive effect ain't that big, maybe it becomes a bit easier to give your trainees their minutes(is that wished?), the blowout won't work anymore(what when the starting lineup is total different in the fourth?) and the tactical rea of the enemy getas more random then a fact of good scouting.

have you considered having a rookie of the year award.
also a reserves team that plays against other second teams so more players get matches and can try and push into a teams lineup

4 lineups boxes aren't necessary. All you need is a drop down menu specifying what quarter you're setting for, and all the rotation options will be different for each quarter selection.

would be probadly more complicated, without more tactical deep ...

For me it looks more random, then the actual system because it is nearly impossible to scout you opponent anymore ...

What's so complicated about it? Don't confuse complexity with complication. Complex = Depth of gameplay. Many people don't want changes because they aren't willing to adapt or step out of their comfort zone. And then they wonder why games become stale.
