i'd like to see a feature added that allows you to coach the game yourself if you choose. for example, you can call time-outs if somethings not going right and adjust defensive or offensive strategy during the game. you can substitute players etc.

i think this would be spectacular idea and gives your more control over your own team.

This is not possible - games are simulated in the 15 minute window between the lineup lock and the start of the viewing of the game.

Any two will do

Any five are live

And even if it wasn't simulated before hand and was somehow possible, it would give an unfair advantage to those that could stay at home and watch the game live compared to someone that might have to work that night.

If both teams would accept to coach that match manually, it would not be unfair...

It would be -- to other users in your league who cannot coach their games manually.

Hate to be a party popper, but that's likely one of those ideas that will never happen simply because of technical limitations and game philosophy. The idea of most browser games, BB included, is not to be at a significant disadvantage if you're unable to be online at a specific time.

I undestand technical borders which exist now. The principle is simple. But imagine active users, even most active users (NT, BBB) which will take that controll every time. It would be just great fun, would not?

Forget about disadvabtages, because you can play any of your games as you want...

it is even complicated to apply there any rules, so it would not be only about switching tactic or something else. Mostly these coaches says just "come on, come on!!!" so that could be applicable either according how good is he, you can pick what he say, so it will have that effect...

hmm, there is possible that you could point that to any specific player just during every timebreak between quarters... "You Marek Maršík play on centre, while we look inside and scored 4 points, you suck it again!" and according to his game shape and any hidden confidence, opponents defence, it would motivate or demotivate him... like risk you take by saying that..

There should not be any advantage or disadvantage to being on at a particular time. In this case being on during your game is an advantage that many people might not have. It's never going to happen.

I said that both sides had to accept that thing for that match. Is question if it would be so attractive for that programming work, anyway it is just an idea which I got by reading this and I have to share it, so my head will not blow up!
