then let only a select few make use of it


Why only a select few? Everyone could use that option.

I don´t know how difficult making a "self-coach" option would be, but video games have that and technology is constantly evolving, maybe someday, it wouldn´t be so unthinkable. We don´t know how much it would change tha game engine so at first it could be tested with private leagues for example.

The GE would literally need to be rewritten in its entirety for the option you are proposing. Right now, the results are already determined once the match "starts" in the viewer. The way the GE works is entirely incompatible with this option. This would be reason enough to treat this idea as something that is surely not feasible at all for actual implementation in the short-term (or medium-term, tbh). It would require financial investment and HR planning, for example. In that sense, it wouldn't matter at all if it were tested in PL games at first because this wouldn't make the whole operation less complex at all.


I don´t know enough about the technical aspects of that so I won´t comment on it.

Apart from that, I strongly agree with Perpete that being online a lot shouldn't be a requirement for success in BB. This "self-coach" option necessitates it.


About that one I disagree since you could always decline the "self-coach" challenge. There would be no extra time spent for BB at all if you don´t want to. There would be for example like 20 games played the old style and 5 games coached by yourself in a league season if you want to. Some team would have it 25-0, maybe some enthusiasts 15 games the old style and 10 coached by themselves. I don´t see how any of those example teams would get a competitive advantage or a disadvantage.

Your suggestion is quite an old one

I doubt anybody has ever suggested it as a challenge option.
it needs a lot of work for a limited use

A lot of work yes. But limited use no, because every time you watch a game, you would want to coach it by yourself. There would be tons of games like that. If you had friends in the game who want to play those games as well, you could arrenge pick-up games at a suitable time just for the reason to coach it yourself.
