So this morning I was thinking about how stupid it is that if you take over as a coordinator in your dynasty, you don't have the option to play the other side of the ball. I'm sure some people will love it that way, but I'm also sure other people are like me and would want to play both sides. Same thing with in-dynasty player editing. It's just a no-brainer that with fundamental elements of the gameplay experience like these, we should have the option to choose how we want our burger cooked, and not be told what we can and can't do. But anyway, as I was mulling over this element of the new Coaching Carousel, an idea popped into my head....
The only time it should be like this would be in a "Coaching Carousel Online-Dynasty." How cool would it be if you could set up the format of an online dyansty so that you could only be the Head Coach, Offensive Coordinator, or Defensive Coordinator of a program. Then throw in like 60 other users and what do you have? Madness. Think about it. You could have 3 users all controlling the same team. The Offensive Coordinator calls and runs the offensive plays. The Defensive Coordinator calls and runs the defensive plays. The Head Coach makes all the big picture calls, such as recruiting, scheduling, and depth chart. And how successful each one is perceived to be and ultimately becomes is largely connected to how good the others are.
Obviously a lot of things would have to happen to make this work. EA would have to figure out a way to get a ton of users into the same dynasty and then let 4 users control one online game. The Head Coach would have to have full control over hiring and firing the coordinators. There would also have to be more incentive to being a Head Coach. The first thing I can think of would be a more dynamic recruiting system, but there would have to be other things too. There would also have to be dynamic Coach AI for the CPU controlled teams. I'm assuming since this will be the first year of CC that there will be a few hiccups in the hiring/firing process. It would have to be challenging to become a hot coaching prospect, and the timing of when spots open would have to be dynamic as well.
So while right now it doesn't seem plausible, but if 4 or 5 years down the road EA revamps recruiting to make it a complex and challenging feature and also perfects the AI of coaching carousel, I think this would be an awesome feature. What say you OS?
