At the start of a match we see play on KO - can anyone tell me if the idea of seeing a coin flip at start would be possible.. with the rule of Kick or Receive { K or R } we could then, as a BOT have say 5 flips default and between 2 and 5, Human, if 2 Human teams then highest number wins flip, Could change the Match Play from starting as a Kick or to Receive Ball.. BOT teams by League could set as default too and differ from each League { Fire a R or Monarchs a K, etc } also as we see Touchdown on a score could we see a FG logo when scored - sorry if already been on forum

I say it's OK for an idea, I just don't know how Pete and his team could put that in.

on team orders you could click a K or R on coin flip { Home teams could get the tie numbers } so if you played a BOT on a 5 flip like you, as Home team, you win call

The problem here is that the match engine starts generating the game an hour before you fan watch live. Because of this; the game itself is on a strict schedule; when it's say, 12:18, the match is three minutes into the second quarter.

There is no time available for managers to make the decision at kick off as the results have already been procedurally created and on a strict time schedule.

I've thought about something similar, taking time-outs. However; those would have to be plugged into the playbook prior to the game and cannot be used during the live match.


Another issue is what the purpose of a coin flip would be and how it would impact the match.

There is no impact on the game itself so thus it's just extra work with no reason or purpose when it comes to the game. Whether you see heads or tails; one time will receive and the other differ, no questions.
