Hello,

Would it be possible to train the team in specific plays (not only training players caracteristics) ?

With the idea of the limits as we have with coaching so that we would not be able to improve every play to the top.
We would have some prefered plays with more success, improvement that would decrease if we do not pratice any more.

MYFOOTBALLNOW as a similar system in gameplanning. I think it's a very good system. Applies on defense too, and allows to checks your opponents tendencies and succes with plays.

I think they mean:

Train I-Formation = Bonus when playing from I Form
Train Big I = Bonus playing Big I
Train Wishbone = Bonus playing Wishbone

Train 5-2 = D Bonus playing 5-2
Train 3-3-4 = D Bonus playing 3-3-4

That's it. Limited numbers of trainable plays for a given session. I think your opponent should know your familiarity with a given play, in order to train against you supposed tendencies.

So the success / rating per formation should be public?

Why not?
Isn't this published by many sportscaster?

I don't think it should be public (scouting should still be rewarded), but I like the idea of training formations. It would give teams a bigger sense of Identitiy, they can build their roster towards a specific set of formations, and it would then of curse make sense also only to train those specific formations. For instance if you want to be a big I running team built around great TEs and HBs, it would make sense to focus your training on Big I, and to not waste training on things like SG4, which are simply not part of your identity.

One could invent a training point system like in the YA. The Coaches could effect the number of Training points available for each update. So for instance Big I, it would be the average CPs out of the ACs of OL OL OL OL OL TE TE WR RB HB QB

That way Each formation would have it's own number of available formation training points. The maximum of all those numbers is the amount X, the number of points available per week. The manager can spend X points each week how he likes it, he can spend all of it in his best formation, or if he wants to attack this weeks opponent differently, he can spend the points on other formations. (But he will never get the same bang for the buck there, since their ceilings are lower than X, since X was the highest possible number...) And formations that your team just isn't built to do very well (for instance a HB-focused running team with no WR AC) will have very low amount of possible training points, reflecting that no matter how hard you train, the long term decision to be a running team is evident in the fact that your WRs simply wont turn into superstars suddenly...

That way we can still have some mild surprises but also a god way to foster identity. There can be teams that are very focused on doing one thing great, they will build their ACs and roster for that purpse and then spend each week on that one formation. Other teams might take a more balanced approach, they will have less points to spend (since their X will probably be lower) but they will be harder to predict since they can spread their points to more formations.

Also spending those points per u p d a t e would introduce a new dimension of gameplanning: the weekly training regime. People would have to take into account their League, SC (and maybe CoC) opponents each week and spend their points accordingly. It will be harder to be a power running team on Tuesday and then turn into a gunslinger spread offense on Wednesday, since the coach must find a training plan for all of the upcoming opponents and fit them into the training. Same goes for defense.

I think it would make for a great addition. The bonus probably shouldnt be too much, looking at my coaches, on offense my best formation would yield 72 points, my lowest 56, I think there are some more focused teams out there that could have maximums as high as 80 or 85, and we could say that if your a re a super focused team, you get a 3% bonus on that formation, so we could have a formula like 25 points = 1 % bump.

That is, of course, if something like that would be codeable at all.
