Well, the question. How many % of users would use this new feature in your estimation?
We have some problems here:
-Both should be online during all the game
-Both should use PC browser not mobile browser
-Both shouldn't go to the toilet during 1.5 hours(ok, there is 15min break)
-Both should want to use this feature

As for my estimation, near 5% could use it. Does it cost the time and effort of the developers?

I think it would be alot easier to implement to add "alternate tactics" to the game. So you advise your coach to "swith to plan B" if "opponent does this or that".

For example:

Starting Offensive Tactics: Motion
Alternate Tactic: Look Inside
Trigger: if opponent plays 3-2 Zone, switch to Alternate Tactic at the beginning of the next quarter (next half)

Starting Defense: Inside Box Plus 1
Alternate Tactic: Man to Man
Trigger: if opponent playes Run and Gun, switch to Alternate Tactic at the beginning of the next quarter (next half)

If you limit the choices, options wouldnt blow up the game, yet it would become more realistic, as coaches usually see if something doesn´t work out fine and tend to aplly some changes.

In addition, one might ponder letting a team choose a tactic / game scheme for every half or every quarter, attacking the other team with different schemes and trying to take advantage of strong bench players.

Actually Pressing might become a viable option if you only use it for one quarter to get the opponents set up screwed up.

They won't get an advantage becouse as I said only if both coaches are live and agree to do so it will be used.

But they get advantage in comparison to other teams in league. Because in this way you can better control and optimize minutes, and therefore form and training in club should be better.

i think that called neutral focus already ;)

Regardless of whether this is a good suggestion or not it doesnt seem even a possibility. This would take a total reinvention of the GE and is a suggestion only for those who know very little about programming. This idea falls under the catagory of 'Gee, wouldnt it be great if......', like 'Gee, wouldnt it be great if they could combine BB with NBA Live so you could manage the team like BB, then play the games like NBA Live'. Yes, this would be awesome, however it is never going to happen.

Actually some people I know have put their teams into NBA live and played games, just for fun but it is interesting.

That does sound fun. Big fan of NBA live

You mean the team who won the last two championships and been to the finals the last three years? Yeah, mentally soft chokers

I smell a laker fan....
