The game is also simulated 15 minutes before the game actually starts so its not really in real time and hence you can't make live changes.

No.
The game you're watching has already been simulated.

Bad idea.

I don't think our players should have periods, as they would blame their bad games on them, and not show up to practice because they had an aunt in town.

Oh, and they would be miserable to be around for a week before that, and no fun during that week. Imagine buying a guy off the transfer list, trying to plug him into your line-up and finding out it was his period. Oh, and what if all your players started to get on the same cycle!? Your whole team could be a mess for a week, and that wouldn't be fun for anyone.

The idea originally suggested gets me thinking of the idea of multiple tactics for the same game.

Example
In the 'Set your lineup!' menu each team could select up to four tactics, (one for each quarter) and have these implemented into the simulation before hand

Offensive Tactic
Look Inside ---> Run 'n' Gun ------> Low Post --------> Look Inside

Defensive Tactic
Man to Man ------> 2-3 Zone -------> 2-3 Zone ---------> Full Court Press

This option is realistic because teams change their tactics late in the game to apply a press, or to try a different mode of scoring, and if it was preset before the game was simulated then it wouldn't require any manager to be present at the game.

What do you guys think?

This idea would never work. It has been discussed before if memory serves me right.

You would make things a lot complicated and also why would u want to change tactics in the second quarter if your tactics were spot on in the first? Its plain suicide to switch to a 2-3 zone if a 3-2 zone was the right tactic for you in the first Q. Then it turns into a complete random guessing game on what you think ur opponent will play in each of the quarters.

And you don't think teams switch tactics in game in the NBA? It might not be as random as this would and this would be more guesswork than countering an opponents new strategy, maybe this could be an option for PL's

You can make live changes in the NBA. If a team changes tactics, you can change tactics to counter your opponents tactics.

You can't here as the games are simulated 15 minute before the game viewer starts. This is where the guess work comes from if you are able to change tactics every quarter as you will have no idea what your opponent is going to play every quarter.

Sometimes, a game just can not emulate rel life especially when it is not happening in real time. this is one of those scenarios.
