In these forums we are in a perpetual quest to better understand how features and tactics work. While, there is a lot of excellent work in these forums, there isn't a good way to test new strategies. This is because not enough variables are held constant and/ or not enough variables are known during scrimmages. In other words, because we only play each other team one or two times a year, we have no way of knowing the factors that created different results. We can speculate whether a guard with high driving and inside shot will exploit another guard with low inside defense, but we rarely know the exact skill sets of our opponents.

To solve this, I suggest setting up scrimmage partnerships. Each team would commit to being the other's scrimmage opponent for a season (after they are both out of the National Tournament). They would also be required to declare their formation in advance as well as share the attributes of the players they plan on using. That way, we can have perfect information while testing and deciphering tactics, attributes and strategies.

Anyone interested?

i know i am a D.V player (en route for D.IV) but count me in.

Edit, the skills will be known in our testing group, or will they be completely free.

Firstly it should be in suggestions section.
Secondly many people use their trainees or 3 players a game in scrimmages so it wouldnt be that useful.
Thirdly YOU CAN FIND FRIENDS AND DO IT WITH THEM!

And at the end not knowing other people skills and trying to figure it out is what makes this game fun. :)

I'm already doing this with Private league. Home team chooses defensive tactis for away team. There's a small matter though, and that's paying $40 per year for that. But I see no reason why not help the developers for theirs magnificent work while trying to understand GE and whatnot.
I know I spend $40 in three hours when I go out on Saturday night...

Exactly there are PL and Scrimmages and you CAN interact with people so these changes are totally unnecessary!

I'd be interested in assisting, though I couldn't always promise my best players and would probably have to rely on my backups/trainees for this.
