Open Discussion:
Let's capture ideas that have been discussed that can improve taking over a new team that are relatively simple and straightforward. Disregard for now some ideas that a few people want like capping divisions.
1. Allow scheduling when taking over a new team.
2. Cut players signed by sim in 1st session.
3. Actions automatically unlocked for players at your division
Other constructive ideas welcome.
1. Schedule what? Exhibitions? Or games for next year, if the slots are open? Or both? It isn’t related to taking over a team, but I think allowing teams that miss the postseason to schedule exhibitions for the postseason is generally a good idea, if it’s an easy implementation.
2. The problem is that the action should only be allowed for teams taking over new teams. People should not be able to cut their own incoming players. That would be abused. And not sure if it would be easy to only allow it for a tiny subset of coaches, but remain locked for everybody else.
3. Nah.
I would definitely support giving new and job changing coaches an opportunity to choose whether to start before 2nd session recruiting or wait until the season starts.
As always, I also support tweaking the late preference recruits to begin signing 2 cycles later than they currently do, to ensure teams with new coaches, or unexpected EEs have their effort considered.
I also support rolling out a group of jucos - call them late bloomers - new for the second session, for everyone to start fresh on.
