One of the suggestions I made years ago, that I still think would be helpful -- free to play "starter worlds". Maybe limit it to 30 or so teams. The worlds would reset every year, with every school needing 7-12 recruits. It would be a streamlined experience, lasting at most two weeks. During each phase (recruiting, practice / game planning, games) the "Assistant Coach" would guide you through the process, explaining attributes, and rosters, and competing with other players & sims for recruits, etc.
