Run the SIM as two halves, rather than one game, and allow teams to make halftime adjustments to the game plan. Seperate the two halves by an hour or so to allow for adjustments.

I think this would be better implemented by having simulated coaches with different attributes. Some coaches would be better at making in-game adjustments.

Some owners don't have the time or the ability be on when their games are simulated to it'd be an unfair advantage.

It isn't a terrible idea but our leagues scrimmage time is at 6 in the morning pacific time it would be unfair for me as the guys on the east would already be up.

The time would have to be greater than 1-2 hours in between due to the fact that GLB clientele is international. You'd have to logistically make the halves on separate days which would then cause a significant increase in server load, costs, and would increase the length in real life days of a season.

Too many issues that can't be resolved in a fair manner.

Increasing the options within the AI

--allowing for changes in gameplan based on team stats, performance, etc. would allow for most of these adjustments to be made without a change in scheduling format.

So we would need about 2x the gameplanning to keep up? No thanks.

How? You'd have to be online when your game sims and the sim would need the coding to allow two halves to get played independently. How's that going to work?

Use the quarter specific AI settings. If you're losing in the 3rd quarter then set 3rd/4th quarter AI to pass more, or whatever.

Also this is similar to something that's not going to happen, calling plays in real time. Same reasoning, not everybody can be on during game time.
