Franchise Mode – Player Scheme Adaptation

I’d like to see player scheme fit become more dynamic in Franchise Mode. Right now, if you draft a player whose preferred playing style or scheme doesn’t match your head coach, that mismatch can essentially stay with the player indefinitely.

I think players should gradually adapt to the system they are actually playing in. For example, if I draft a young player who doesn’t initially fit my head coach’s scheme, but that player spends three seasons practicing, developing, and playing under the same coaching staff, his scheme preferences should begin to shift toward that coach’s system.

The amount of adaptation could depend on things like age, potential, coach teaching ability, player personality, and how long the player has been in the system. Younger players could adapt faster, while established veterans might be more resistant to changing their style.

This would add more realism and depth to Franchise Mode because professional athletes are constantly asked to learn systems and adjust to what their coaches want. It would also make drafting and player development more meaningful instead of having scheme fit feel like a permanent attribute that can only really be fixed by changing coaches or replacing the player.
