Assistant Coaches (222 views)

Had an idea this morning, not sure if it's fully baked yet.

What if each team could hire one assistant coach during the offseason?

strength and conditioning coach - allows team to run Very Fast pace (otherwise illegal)
defensive coordinator - allows team to Always trap (otherwise illegal)
physiotherapist - reduces any existing injuries by three days at end of sim
sports scientist - increases yearly GM upgrade cap by five
social media consultant - increases box score rewards by 5%

They wouldn't be exclusive, so every team could hire a social media consultant for example if they wanted to, but each team could only hire one, and it would be binding for the whole year.

Thoughts and suggestions welcome.

Seems fun.

I like it.

I definitely like the premise, tracking could be painful but if you've got that nailed down, I'm game to give this a go.

fun premise. two might be more interesting than one. a limited number of each could be interesting. like actually have named coaches that do certain things. how often can we get new coaches.

i think thats enough high rambling for now

i'm leaning away from scarcities because i think we have enough systems that prioritize hustle.

i'm going with one coach a year for now, both because i think that's the best option mechanically and it would be a lot more resource intensive to keep track of otherwise.
