Split up the Halves Topic

I played GD a while ago and didn't really like it but the one thing I loved was that the first half was simmed in the morning and the second half in the afternoon. It would let coaches game-plan especially for the second half knowing how many fouls players on the other team and your team had, and you could change around your depth chart and distro. I understand this would not work for 2 game a day world but I think it would be an easy way to make HD much better

No. This would be awful. People play 1 a day often because that's how often they want to adjust. Also why'd you post this to both forums?

-1/10 idea

now we are making 1x worlds 2x worlds but slower. and wtf do we do with 2x worlds have 1x and 2x worlds require different coaching skills. or are we going to double season length and make 1x worlds sim a half each day lol :) and leave 2x worlds alone and have 7 that allow 2nd half decisions and 3 that don't

no way to implement this just like theres really no way to implement having up to date conferences its not feasible

it's kinda like how we don't have specific matchups like I want my SF to guard their 2 guard and my SG defending there 1 and my PG defending their 3. What happens when the opposing coach says I want my SG getting the ball and attacking their PG and my SF working downlow against their PF. I don't see how that gets coded or gets coded in a good way

tldr: bad idea

well maybe you get enough stupid people to respond and say yes to a stupid idea and stupid seble implements it saying its a "genius" idea to encourage activity and then all the long time 1x world coaches leave and you are left with 20 coaches a world all who have 0 clue what they are doing

Holy crap, Only, I dig your passion brah, but you might wanna think about taking a deep breathe and counting to 10 or something. First, just throwing out a bunch of scenarios doesn't mean those are the only possible options, and second, since when do coaches get to choose which players on the opposing team guard their players??? As far as I see it, neither of those arguments come close to being valid criticisms of the idea in the original post.

I don't know if cub is aware or not, but this idea has been tossed around before, and I've always really liked it. And would love to see WIS take one world (the least populated or whatnot) and do something of this nature with it.

I call it the "0nly" cure to sebleitus

sebleitus is known to cause
  • terrible dementia(like forgetting you run a college basketball simulation game for up to years at a time)
  • diminished brain capacity like not understanding english or how to set up a beta
  • inability to read things such as the forums
  • hallucinations such as thinking recruiting is a bigger problem than jobs
the 0nly cure to this helps in ways of:
  • lack of caring to the impeding doom to simulations
  • increased aggressiveness and snarkiness
  • death or quitting of HD
  • no longer being a positive contribution

I like the idea as an option for a world. We can choose between 1 and 2 games per day as it is, so why not have one of the worlds a 1 game split day? Yeah not practical with the low population to either change one of the current worlds or create a new one, but I like the option and would play in a world that had it.
5/30/2016 9:08 PM
I also like the idea. I play in 3 worlds, and I would love to have a 2-a-day, 1-a-day, and 1-a-day with each half. yeah, it's probably not practical with the current populations, etc, but it isn't a bad idea altogether.
