Let Small Schools Improve Everything!
Hello EA,
I just got the game and have started up a new Dynasty and there is something that remains in the game from the last installment - almost ten years ago - that still irritates me today.
Academics - Can't be improved by user actions
Campus Lifestyle - Can't be improved by user actions
Why the heck not? Why is there always going to be a cap on these for my school? This is really disappointing and makes no logical sense either. These things aren't set in stone in real life. Schools can make investments and prioritize improvements on these things in real life, so it is just not fun that they cannot be improved over time while I play my dynasty mode.
With the intro being ALL big schools, I was already starting to get nervous that the small schools were going to get shafted in this game (just like they are in real life) but it will be a lot less fun if I simply have artificial barriers to improving my school in all areas.
I don't mind that my school starts in a bad spot in certain areas, so long as I have the ability to improve them. Just hard locking them is awful design.

There are things they can do to improve academics. Personally I think players should just have an academic score and teams should improve in academics by having a roster with a higher academic score.
The lifestyle one is also odd as I know a handful of party schools on here have that low.. seems only based on the city.
I do think schools should be able to improve on everything and also have a fair share of pipelines. The top schools having far more pipelines makes sense but if some small schools improve after 10 years and routinely get guys from an area those pipelines SHOULD improve.
If NOTHING else, let players edit pipelines and static team grades..
