If you have any more questions about this suggestion and if there is anything I missed, please let me know because I am trying to have this as descriptive as I can. Also, I have already checked the To-Do List and I don't think a Pro Bowl has been suggested yet.
Imagine a community driven, league based Pro Bowl event that highlights top players and owners without requiring credits. And yes, I know that there is already the "All Star Challenge" that you can do in this site, but the "All Star Challenge" is: A single-team challenge, mixed-league player pool, costs credits, and not a league-community event, which is mostly different from what my idea is. This proposal introduces a League Pro-Bowl, which can be a credit-free, AC vs NC All-Star game within each league (1 for every league), managed by the TOP owners of the season. Here is how it could work (You can do things a little differently than from what I am suggesting): After every season, the TOP ranked owner of the NC and the TOP ranked owner of the AC for each league becomes "Coaches" for their conference for the Pro Bowl. This is based on the best regular season record and existing league tie-breaker rules. Coaches may s e l e c t players only from teams in their own conference (AC or NC). Players must be active, on a roster in the same conference, and not injured at the time of selection (injuries after selection listed below). A player can also be ineligible if he is retiring at the end of season, he is retiring but the owner did pay the "avoid retirement" fee, or he is retiring and the owner did not pay the "avoid retirement fee", in short, Any player flagged as “retiring this season” becomes ineligible for Pro Bowl selection, even if the owner pays to prevent retirement (If desired by Pete, this rule can be softened). If a selected player gets injured during the post-season, gets released, or gets transferred to another league, the coach will receive a notification and will s e l e c t a replacement player for that position. Each coach fills their entire Pro-Bowl roster after the regular season is over (deadline possible, in which their roster is filled for them), but an optional rule could be that there would be a max limit of players from any one team to maintain balance. Coaches can assign starters, backup priorities, and special team roles for the Pro Bowl. Coaches may also control the playbook for the Pro-Bowl, such as using their own playbooks, build a custom "Pro-Bowl playbook", or use default templates, this gives the game a true strategic depth and allows coaches/owners to express style and philosophy (Yes, I was trying to look for a word that had the definition like philosophy and philosophy is the only one I could find). Home-field advantage is randomly assigned to one of the two Pro Bowl coaches. This makes the hosting honor part of the event and rewards the two owners who organized the teams (Could be optional). The game scheduling is a little tricky to do, as we want somewhere where it doesn't mess up the scheduling of any supercup, regular-season, playoff, and CoC games, but I would recommend the day immediately following the league Bowl game. At this point, no competitive games remain (except for Supercup and Champ of Champs for the few teams but the Pro Bowl can also probably make no negative effects on the players and teams), it avoids overlapping with SC/CoC schedules, coaches would have time to adjust rosters after post-season injuries, and the weekly financial u p d a t e windows no longer block mid-week matches after season-end (or at least that is what my math is telling me). An alternative slot for the Pro-Bowl would be in the Pre-season as a league kickoff celebration before the regular season (Not on any of the days of the draft of course). Players can be "cloned" (if you understand what i'm trying to say) to remain on their actual team while also playing in the Pro-Bowl with no training, wages, or facility issues. And this would be a real match, not a scrimmage, it will have full depth charts, full playbooks, special teams, stats recorded, and whatever story-stuff Pete does for a big game after it is over  .
Every player selected would receive an award, such as a "(League Name/Conference Name) Pro Bowl Selection" for the season in which they played the Pro-Bowl that year, or when their teams win the Pro-Bowl the "(League Name) Pro-Bowl Winner" (idk, still an idea I have to work on). Coaches who made their team for the Pro-Bowl could receive a trophy for being a coach for the Pro Bowl and/or a trophy for winning the Pro Bowl (And, optionally, a small/moderate number of credits). The Winning Conference will also be shown on the trophy wall for their league for the season they won. I would like to end this suggestion with a final statement, the Pro-Bowl fits in the RZA because it could build the RZA community, it could showcase strategy in new kinds of ways, it gives players recognition rather than the normal awards and hall of fame they might get, it would cost no credits, it would have minimal server impact, it uses systems that already exist, and it adds excitement to the otherwise quiet post-Bowl day. This could become a seasonal highlight to all leagues in the RZA, and the RZA itself. The only concern I have is how Pete will be able to do all of this, but if he plans to do it, i'm sure he could figure it out. If you have any more questions about this suggestion, let me know and I'll be happy to answer. With that being said, this is the end of my long, long suggestion. I shall rest my mind and my fingers  .

Just my 2 cents on that.
It is another version of the all-star game variations, which come up now and then. All of those have in my view a big minus, which is, they do benefit only a few. here just 2 managers. The rest can just view and enjoy or don't care. That's from my point of view not a good game design for the off-season. Another flaw in my view is the automatic issue. Best manager of AC plays best manager of NC. But if one of them or both just don't like that competition, they are forced to do it anyway? I have to admit, I did not read the complete text, since it was clear what the intention is, right from the start and I understand the motivation, since in real live this is also a big thing. But in a game, with several managers having different motivation even playing that game and different motivation how much to invest into it, this all-star-extra-stuff is just nonsense from my point of view. And none of the former suggestions did get into considerations anyway, and some had at least more managers involved than just 2. |

And none of the former suggestions did get into considerations anyway, and some had at least more managers involved than just 2. I admittedly ran my text that I typed into AI and it did list some of the problems, one in which was if the manager wanted to even do it if they were the top AC or NC manager. The solution to that, is that managers could decline being the manager of the Pro-Bowl team and either the next best person becomes in charge in which they have the opportunity to decline it or it goes to a manager who wants to do it. I also have to admit that in a game full of managers with different perspectives that this might go one way or the other, I was just thinking that this could be a way to improvise the game better than it is without credits involved so that every team, player, and manager could get involved. I also think that it is not completely the same as the all-star challenge, in which of course, the player who payed credits for the challenge has to face the entire RZA's toughest players in every position, in which I don't even think the players get recognition of being in an all star game as the all star team you have to face against, but the managers (if they win) and the coaches do. Entirely, not everyone gets credit (like pride not the currency) of being in the All-Star game. Entirely, this idea doesn't have to be entirely made word for word, as Pete could adjust it a bit to fit the criteria but also have it calm to where everyone enjoys it. I just wanted to make a good suggestion about this, have it really detailed, and make it sort-of (sort of) realistic, and I did say if anyone had any questions about this idea that they could ask me. I just don't want to make my suggestions a total flaw and make everyone hate them because they do not benefit the managers and the game. I want to help this game grow and make it more fun, so I had this suggestion in mind. Again, it was a suggestion, so I'm just waiting what other managers say about this, but thank you for your opinion, Jack  |

Just to make things clear.
I like non-credit offers for managers. And in my compare to All-Star games I did mean the real live variations, not the stuff the managers can play here for credit. I just don't like offers, where a handful of managers do enjoy (or not, based on their mood) some sort of extra stuff, while the rest can only wait for the next season to start. There were several suggestion going into THAT direction, like, national games, regional battle royal, pro bowls, whatever. All quite similar. And there were also suggestions with much wider manager participation background. Non made a big distance, far from implementation. I like it, when managers try and suggest stuff, so don't be shy.  |
