Increase Coach Skills Cap
I know others may have posted this, but the level 50 coach skills cap needs to be increased. 1. I understand the interest to cap skills to make it realistic, but a coach like Nick Saban would have a...
All I need is an additional 36 points to make what I would consider a fair build that I could REALLY enjoy playing.
This doesn't seem like a big ask.
As an alternative, let us pick the upgrades for noon user coaches on our staff or let us reallocate once or twice.
But the cap should be much higher.
You think guys who spent their whole lives coaching like Paterno or Bowden wouldn't have been the equivalent of a level 75 or 100.
EA: in the immortal words of Dave Bautista:
"GIVE US WHAT WE WANT!!!"
I'm not even against them keeping the level cap, but scale the points earned based on level.
Levels 1-10 5 points = 50 total
11-20 10 points = 100 total
21-30 15 points = 150 total
31-40 20 points = 200 total
41-50 25 points = 250 total
This would give us 750 skill points over our career instead of 500 to really open up the coach tree at the higher levels. It would also help make the high-level coaches stand out. I think there should also be a "master" skill in every category that you could just pick when you hit level 50. Somewhat of a culmination of your growth as a coach. Also, get rid of the purchasing new categories. Unlock them when we accomplish the tasks.
Or just give the players the ability to set the level cap and skill points earned per level. More customization is never a bad thing.
Simple fix as @sdzald said give us the control and everyone is happy. This can be said about customization on every level. It’s really not hard EA. 2K has this mastered and why their games are always superior to yours. Anything that has a skill, rating, stat influence, etc. and I mean anything at all should be customizable to the user in offline or online manager at start of dynasty.
Once again this is another feature that was in your game 10 years ago… on NCAA 14 you could even start a new dynasty and start your coach out with a skill points before you do anything. Why not here? If I want to be a Nick Saban prodigy in my offline dynasty why not? That gets old and I want to grind hardcore maybe I set it to where I barely get any xp to get my skill. Regardless my original statement remains true. Give US control. Stop assuming you know what we all want because reality is someone is always going to be upset because they want to play the game different.
