Hi i am veteran manager who started back in SEASON 3, won B3, being NT coach for 35 seasons... I would like to response according to news on what keeps me here for so long:
1) National teams
anything you do, please dont screw NT. As main mentor back home i lead users to train for our NT. Fresh draftees until 28 that is about 10 seasons of dedication per user which keeps them live in game. NT has great benefit for this game user wise. It involves many managers and strenghtens community - another benefit. I could continue but dont want to mess it up here. so please dont screw NTs
2)play by play - as main procedure that helps managers understand how their team play and why. It misses informations about defense mostly (especialy blocks which led to block ignorance and therefore many adjustments in code in past where BBs argued how important blocks are and how they contribute to the defensive aspect of game.) Then i would welcome info about defenders in zones, idealy if defensive setup was tracked (who is curently PG defender, SG defender etc., we have this info in offense but not in defense)
3) fix the main problem with game engine - defense calculations for OPEN shots vc CONTESTED shots. It is nonsense that open shots are less acurate than contested shots. It is becose you calculate open shots being defended according the team defense which might be stronger than individuals. This "power" should be revised. If done correctly you wouldnt need to "adjust" 3pt line and its accuracy..
4)traninig - is the reason why we have tankers. Tankers are good for game becose it shifts power and rotates champions in game. But you (BBs) on the same time want to eliminate it. Only reason why tankers are here is becose you cant train and being competative at the same time. Training could fix this. There are tons of ideas on this but i prefer you to focus on first 3 points and once there is will to do change training systems suggestions will be endless.
5) utopia - if you guys are in need of more money allowing more than 2 teams could be financialy worth it and will keep active teams at higher numbers what will help competitivness and fun and therefore user base stability... Asi for extra team double the previews number (2nd team 10USD/year; 3rd team 20USD/years or so so we are not floded).
Good luck, please dont screw this!
