I would decidedly prefer the site focus on bolstering the player base than updating games at the moment. At least where HBD is concerned, worlds are getting increasingly harder to fill and the player base is steadily dwindling. All the game updates in the world won't matter if there's nobody around to play the game.
I agree. I personally think the #1 way to improve it is to make the game more interactive. It's a very isolated game on its own. There is not a lot of opportunity for interaction. Even when you win a championship, it's pretty much an underwhelming experience. I think the site could use more features that encourage friendly competition and engagement. When people feel a personal stake/connection to other coaches, they will stick it out longer. To me it's the biggest problem with the platform.
Everything else is just tactics. Firing more coaches so we can free up jobs (to me) is not important if 90% of the schools are SimAIs anyway. We need more users and more engagement. Then we can tinker around the margins.
