I just sent this ticket to WIS - what do you guys think?

I have a suggestion. It will help your revenues, and just makes sense. Why not combine the new coach signups with the job change periods? Basically do away with the new coach sign up period. It is a pause in the game for a lot of players that are ready for the next season. But the biggest advantage to the change would be that it would allow new coaches to recruit in the second session to start building their team, instead of having to rely on the sim to finish recruiting. It gives them "some" ownership of their new team. By deleting the two day new coach sign up period from the calendar, you turn the worlds over two days faster, which would increase revenues by about 4% to 7%, since people will be paying for a shorter time period, while still getting the full value of what they are paying for. It would also be nice, once a coach signs up for a team, if they could at least see the team for the rest of the year, even if they could not do anything with it.

Love it.

The push back you will probably get is that they wanted to change it so you could get a feel for the game before being thrust into scouting/recruiting. Is it the biggest deal in the world? IMO, no. But that's probably why they won't do it.

For HD, they could make a ton more money automatically 4% to 7% more. It's one of the sucky things about taking over a new team if you sign up for a new world. Plus, when you look at teams, if you sing up for a new team before the end of the season, it says how many seniors it has currently, which does no good because they are gone once you take the team over. You really want to see the number of juniors so you'll know how many openings there are. I made that mistake with Johns Hopkins - thought I'd have a ton of scholarships, but in reality I had zero.

I think it is a great idea to make new coaches sing the school's alma mater or fight song in order to qualify

Hail to the victors.....oh maryland.....on wisconsin....hail hail for ole....

I always thought a really cool, but probably very impractical idea in terms of feasibility would be to form a world where every coach was at their real life alma mater. If you could get the athletic departments at each school to participate by giving them free seasons, that would be really fun to watch.

"But the biggest advantage to the change would be that it would allow new coaches to recruit in the second session..."

One of the biggest whines in the forums is how difficult it is for experienced coaches to learn how to recruit in the second period. (Well, that's a sanitized version -- they don't own their own failure, they blame the game). Either way, you now propose throwing newbies into the deep end? Bwahahahahaha. That doesn't seem to be doing them any favors, does it?

I think this would be a great idea.

However, would you have new coach signups and the job changes start at the same time? Or would you give job changes like a day headstart?

ultimately, do you think there is much difference between flailing at the second recruiting session vs letting the sim recruit junk you'll have to cut anyway? worst case you don't know what you're doing and you end up with players that are still no worse than what the sim hands you, really, right?

No, not actually. You both missed the point entirely, but that is exactly as expected from you trolling me. BTW, if you have nothing to say, you could always try not posting instead of posting another stupid cartoon. Those stupid cartoons make you look, well, stupid.
