wait, is WIS considering changing the shot clock? i find that hard to believe, i mean, i don't doubt you guys if that is what you are saying, im just not sure that is really what is trying to be said, lol. if so, where is that discussion going on?

nope, i was using the shot clock in real life as an example of how changes were/are made in real life.

Here are the large threads that should keep you busy for a while learning about ettaexpress. You can also search is name in the forums for other threads he started.

Make sure you get a stiff drink before you do, like nacho used to do with him.

ahhh, the good old days....though set a limit on the drinks, or else you could mess around and get yourself put in time-out, haha.

Lmao. +1

Get rid of baseline and conference prestige.  

1) Get rid of rewards
2) Make base line prestige slowly changeable over time
3) Put limits on per cycle recruiting effort per player

Good thread, therewas.

lol what?

why get rid of rewards, that would kill off a giant portion of the userbase probably more than any engine change could

You mean the user base that pays very little to play, contributing very little to WIS revenue? :)

how bout all of us non dominant players?

I'm pretty sure wis and fox sports are lacking in money.

I don't play for rewards, and I'm betting (maybe very wrongly) that many others are the same, and I would absolutely LOVE it if WIS got rid of the rewards, and all the vets with collective lock downs on the DI elites would get really ticked and leave in a huff, opening up elites for others. It's an opinion, and probably an unpopular one. But I'll stick with it just the same.

1) Yeah, no. Rewards should be increased! AD expectations and firings should ONLY matter at Big 6 D1 and should be MUCH more frequent. I hate seeing some coach in the Metro or CAA getting fired. There are plenty of worlds in which you can achieve Marist or James Madison. Not many where UCLA or Duke are available...ever.
2) Great idea! Make Baseline Prestige be based on a 10-15 year moving average after the 10th or 15th season. That would be easy and make a difference.
3) Well...I've championed disallowing CV & HV in the 1st cycle, but beyond that...nah.

Getting rid of rewards just to make customers get upset and leave high level DI isn't a suggestion, it's selfish. Instead of proposing something that will cause many, all not at DI schools, to leave and cut your paying customer base maybe trying to institute tougher standards that Elite teams must maintain to keep their jobs would probably be more effective. Fixing the firing logic goes hand in hand with that. 

Yeah I am with Supersloth. Rewards : I think it could be increased a bit. We need to keep owners. When you have more than a team, you could have some slight advantages as well.

I am all with the firing idea. I checked Tarkanian D1 big six teams... I decided not to post the history of some of the teams out of respect but when you do not get into the NT after 5 years... even more, I mean, in reality, you would get fired. Results are expected at some schools. You could fire owners in Utah, Gonzaga, Wichita State, Butler, VCU, all A-10 teams too... IMO, but get the PIT as a point of comparison.

I don't know how long it takes to get a Big 6 school from C to C+ reputation to the NT. Experienced owner could tell me, but I am thinking five to six years should be the norm. It would make it more challenging. You got fired, you need to get back to a mid-major (low rep) or a low-end D1 team and rebuild your reputation as a coach. It's fun!

Agree about the firing increase, based on baseline prestige. Unfortunately, WIS doesn't want to do this as they are concerned it will cause fired coaches to leave, and they discount the idea that having poorly performing coaches keeping high level jobs from others wanting a try tends to cause them to give up in various worlds.

Re: the end of rewards, actually I'd like to see them keep rewards but set a minimum that must be paid to play each season, such as 50% of the base charge. As it is now, coaches with programs that average between a Sweet 16 and Elite 8 play more or less free. To me it simply makes sense as a business to collect some revenue from every product sold, in this case a season of HD.
