Yeah, it would be nice if it was not another hand out for a tip situation.

However a pro football or college sim would not be complete without coaches.


I think they are completely unneeded. I don't see the need for coaches that just boost certain attributes (more money and more time recruiting for a game that already takes too much of both).

To me the "coaches" of the game are the GMs who do the coordinating, agents that train their players, etc.

Nah, we are the owners eating the fancy sammiches and sipping champagne in the stands while mingling, at a distance, with the common folk or walking our dogs on the field and puffing cubans while they lift a leg on the goal post.

Coaches are proper characters in the game, pieces to be played.

If you think people aren't "coaching" you need to visit EEA's forums

You miss my point.

We own the teams, we play with the parts. Coaches are a part, like a player, or a mascot or a stadium.

If this was model railroading, coaches would come in a box, and require dusting.

Sorry, but there is no way you are going to justify the addition of coaches to this game to me as anything other than another way to make money. All these new changes require agents, GMs, owner, etc. to spend more time on the game, if not more money. Recruiting players is time consuming enough, I'm not looking forward to trying to recruit coaches as well. How many people actually want to spend money to create coaches? To me the fun of being an agent is watching the players in games, seeing their stats, etc. All things you can't do with a coach.

To you that might be the only fun thing to do in the game, but there are 51 flavors of ice cream for a reason - variety is good to each his own etc. Each position in the game, GMing, owning, training, scouting, these are all varying aspects of play. Figuring out what coaching "settings" will work best with what and when will be even more varied aspects of play that people into the shell game of match ups will enjoy tinkering with.

If its an interesting enough challenge people will reactivate their old heroes to do it. If not, then owners will have an added expense to get their own vets out to turn into coaches, or do without.

For my part, I like the idea that I can trot out my old guys for some more seasons, and will have more game choices to make.

Not that I have time for half the ones we already have LOL.
