I finally got hooked by BBCF recently, after picking up and trying it two or three times over the last couple years, for some reason its really stuck this time, even grabbing me with a pretty strong "just one more turn" vibe over the weekend. Anyway, I've got a bunch of questions for those of you still playing:
1) How much time do you spend gameplanning? How much better than the recommend button can you do in this area? If you have a coordinator with a good gameplanning rating, does that impact your decision on how much gameplanning to do yourself?
2) Similarly, how well does the recommend option work for player training? Do most of you go through each player to maximize training, hit recommend and go, or something in betwee?
3) Is there a consensus on when to make your pitch in recruiting? Thus far I've been waiting a couple weeks to try to find a "very important" item to pitch, but not waiting longer after that to find the single best pitch. Is there an ideal here or is this someting that varies player to player?
4) So far, i've found myself getting heavily involved in recruiting, transfers, coach hiring, the offseason stuff basically, but a bit overwhelmed with the week to week micromanagement of the depth chart(usually going with the recommend button instead of making my own adjustments each week for injuries/suspensions, etc), and as mentioned above, avoiding gameplanning altogether. Any suggestions on steps that can be taken to maximize my team's performance during the season, or ways to get my feet wet in gameplanning without completely wrecking everything at random?
5) Last question is a quick UI type question. Is there a way to get a quick overview of the morale of all the players on your team without going through the entire roster, player by player?
Thanks for any help!
