How to make RTG more immersive
1. Coach Trust:
- Decrease the steady coach trust gain from making simple plays. Bigger plays which generate more than expected give bigger amounts of coach trust, but a simple 5 yard catch or run gives very little, as there's not too much impressive about it. Offensively, breaking tackles with user jukes/trucks gives much more coach trust, and defensively, missing a tackle or getting run through gives you a big hit.
- Giving certain on-field actions higher coach trust impact will also make it less predictable whether a coach will like you, instead of it just increasing at the same rate in any RTG save.
- A string of high coach trust gain over several weeks will increase the rate at which it's gained, and a string of lower coach trust will do the opposite. A string of negative coach trust will cause it to plummet after long enough.
- Coach trust does not stay the same after transferring. It either completely resets to near 0, if you have very little to show for your last season, or will be decreased by a couple thousand or more if you put up decent stats. This makes it so you can't transfer from Kennesaw State to Georgia and automatically have more coach trust than the 90 OVR starter.
2. Position Battles/Practice:
- Instead of every position battle being the exact same, the point total you have to hit will increase or decrease according to the OVR difference between you and your teammate. If you're a 79 OVR competing with a 80, you'll have a much easier time than if you're competing with a 96. This should make it so you end up where you realistically should be in the depth chart, but still have a chance to get higher.
- Instead of gaining +700 coach trust from a position battle win, you gain +700 XP. This increases XP gain and decreases coach trust gain, so they're more balanced. Practice also gives more XP and less coach trust, because that's what practice would do.
