Assistant Coaches

I think it would be cool to introduce assistant coaches to football. These would be AI controlled entities in charge of player development and training. Different coaches would have different ratings when it comes to teaching the various skills. There would be a pool of such coaches to hire from and each team could put in bids for their services.

*Game A, some coaches are better than others, the first teams that grabbed the best ones got a huge advantage over the rest of teams. Since they're not sacking them (because they're good), and there are not enough top coaches for everyone (otherwise what's the point of having coaches, right? you just improve the IC's), there was no chance to "upgrade" your coaches ever.
*Game B, you didn't bid on a coach (like a player) but you hire them like an "upgrade". Everybody could hire the same quality of coaches. The only thing preventing everybody to hire the best coaches available was that we had to "pay" their wages from the team money (that money came from ticket sales, merchandise, trading players, which we don't have in here).

I think that we shouldn't be able to have more than 2 or 3 different assistant coaches, so you have to choose which assistant do you want, otherwise everybody will get all of them.
But I like the idea.

Just a couple of thoughts on this subject based on previous experience on other games:*Game A, some coaches are better than others, the first teams that grabbed the best ones got a huge advantage over the rest of teams. Since they're not sacking them (because they're good), and there are not enough top coaches for everyone (otherwise what's the point of having coaches, right? you just improve the IC's), there was no chance to "upgrade" your coaches ever.

maybe they should count against the cap? and/or automatically move on after x number of years?

I thought about this idea as well when I was recalling owner mode in Madden a while back. Your assistants have different ratings and would have an influence over certain parts of your performance (so a great DC would improve your defense, a bad one would harm it, etc.) I think this is a good idea.Pages: 1
