Coaching/strategies
I know I’m not the only one to have this problem but I can’t change strategies for my team and I feel like it takes away a big part of the game I think the strategies and coaches are due for a massive overhaul
I think that the biggest problem is how players fit different strategies. Currently the players strategies are randomly generated at the start of each franchise mode and then these players are locked this way for their entire career. In real life you see that players can adapt to new strategies so why not in this game too. I think that this would go a long way in terms of creating diversity in player strategy preferences and would also make it so the longer a player plays in a specific system the more they improve because they are getting used to and even starting to prefer the system which you see IRL.
I also think that coaches need a huge overhaul coaches are randomly generated at the start of a franchise mode save and if that’s what you want to do I think it can still work but I think for that to work you need to allow coaches to adapt to new strategies and preferences and let us change the strategies ourselves. A good coach can make or break your team but even a great coach can’t perform well with a team that doesn’t fit his system so we are forced to either throw away the first season or more trying to find a coach that fits your system or spending a ton of time resetting until you get a coach that fits the style of play you want. This could be a problem since some strategies are incredibly rare I sat around resetting for an hour trying to get a starting coach that runs a 1-3-1 power play and then when I finally got one he had terribly chemistry with my top players.
definitely not everything but I know the community feels that something needs to be done to fix coaches and strategies but would love to hear how the rest of the community feels about this ideas and any ideas or problems you have with coaching and strategy
