Just more control over game and player management.
For example, have a quick hitter offense or "pro set" for basketball. Something like what almost every real life basketball team runs=pick and roll, pick and pop. it doesnt have a be a main offense, just an option to run for certain situations and for certain players. Every team should someone set as a "playmaker", someone who would take the final shot (obviously not Lebron) during the last few minutes of the game and set up plays.
Press, obviously should not be a main defense.
Some examples: after every made basket, if down by double digits, last 5 minutes of the half.
More customization of matchups eg. Battier always guarding Kobe regardless of position and lineups on the floor.
