Please do not launch a debate in this thread.

Let's imagine, you have three wishes for the evolution of RZA and they would be automaticaly granted. Forget about the coding, forget about the idea popularity, forget about the engine, forget about everything. What would it be?

Many give their opinion on many suggestions, but I am curious to see what they would pick if they could choose only 3 of them.

I'll start.

1/ League restructure

Goal: limit the number of bot games

- With 1 Elite, 4 Regions level 1, 8 Regions level 2.
- 2 teams from each L2 conference would promote to L1 = 8 promotions
- 1 teams from each L1 conference would promote to Elite = 8 promotions
- 1 team from each L1 conference (conference loser) would play a relegation game against the 3rd teams of Elite divisions
- L2 playing hours: same as today
- L1 playing hours: 15:00 - 17:00 - 19:00 - 21:00

Before the restructure: 544 spots
After the restructure: 416 spots

That's still 140 bots but the gamble is by removing almost as much, players would stay longer in the game, trending toward a number of players increase.

We could keep only 4 L2 leagues, but that would mean only 288 teams vs 278 registered managers today. That doe not leave much room to develop.

2/Change the roster positions minimum and maximum

Goal: having more realistic rosters, limit the formation and training/coach exploits

Set up a minimum of players at every position and lower the maximum allowed for both senior and YA rosters. If the limits are not respected, the whole training (all positions) is canceled. Suggested limit = DC minimum and 2x DC maximum.

Senior Roster: Suggested limit = DC minimum and 2x DC maximum
QB: 1 to 6 (current limit: 10)
RB: 2 to 8 (current limit: 12)
FB: 2 to 8 (current limit: 10)
WR: 4 to 12 (current limit: 20)
TE: 2 to 6 (current limit: 12)
OL: 5 to 16 (current limit: 20)
DL: 5 to 16 (current limit: 20)
LB: 4 to 12 (current limit: 16)
CB: 4 to 12 (current limit: 16)
SF: 3 to 10 (current limit: 16)
K: 1 to 4 (current limit: 6)
P: 1 to 4 (current limit: 6)

Youth Academy: No minimum and DC maximum
QB: 3
RB: 4
FB: 4
WR: 6
TE: 3
OL: 8
DL: 8
LB: 6
CB: 6
SF: 6
K: 2
P: 2

3/ Having a true RZA World Cup

Goal: more fun and prestige!

Every 4 seasons, one manager per country is elected and will s e l e c t a roster of players from his own country to compete in a 32 teams friendly cup.

The game would propose a "by default" optimized roster but the manager could decide to change any of them.

Moral and PC would not be considered during the cup.

The selection of the 32 countries would be done by the sum of the current RZA managers for each country. If one of those countries has no declared candidate, another manager from another country could fill in after application. If several managers apply for the same country, the highest ELO ranked manager would get the job.

No RZA money or credits involved, just a nice trophy for the 3 medalists + 1 participation trophy for each manager.

more variations of off and def formations to choose from
playbook editor that is easier (and less time consuming) to use
more in game injuries so that reserves are used more often

- 2 Point Conversions
- contract restructures (lowering wage now, while adding years and wage later)
- downloadable CSV for gamecenter gamelogs

1. Game ending injuries
2. 2pt conversation
3. SC PO draw just like league PO: 1st vs 128th, 2nd vs 127th, 3rd vs 126th... And there is a bracket all the way till finals.

Listing my "craziest" wishes for the game:

1. Seven round drafts (maybe only 5 but if I can wish anything...)
2. Bowl games at season end for all teams (with a trophy to team page)
3. Youth teams (consequently, youth leagues to play)


Waiting for Pete wishes.

1.) More time
2.) a sense for design stuff
3.) a chance to go back in time

1) League Restructure
Uber Elite (similar to Elite now, but only one team from each division is relegated and that team, instead of relegated to L1, is relegated to....)
Elite Light (one 32 team division, each division winner promotes to Uber Elite, relegated from this league follows current L1 and Elite promotion and demotion)
League 1 (8 divisions, same as now)
League 2 ( as needed, same as now)

I think this is the lowest change for the maximum parity gain and it maintains division rivalries well. I think the parity in the 1-32 teams in Uber Elite remains strong, and now there is strong parity putting together 33-64 overall teams in a league.

2) Rivalry Trophies
Thread from sometime ago exists that I'll edit this and link to it, maybe .... But, I love this idea so much that I'd say something nice about Rufio at least once if it existed.

3) Eliminate morale hits completely from losses in the last week of regular season and all playoff losses. 50% decrease isn't enough.

1) Enhanced realism: Fumbles for any player carrying the football; RBs/FBs capable of catching; RBs/TEs capable of pass blocking.

2) Enhanced playbooks: Being able to set percentages for run/pass and formation usage for any given situation. Being able to dictate positional blitzes (e.g. in X situation, use the 3-4-4 alignment, 40% blitz with one player, 20% blitz two; when blitzing the LOLB is selected to blitz 40%, the LMLB 20%, ROLB 20%, SS 20%).

3) League Restructuring: Kanar's suggestion of a 1-4-8 structure is fine, but I would prefer a 1-2-4-4 (1 elite, 2 D1, 4 D2, 4 D3) or a linear league structure (each league promotes to the one above, with new leagues opened up at the bottom as needed).
