I think a better improvement would be the incorporation of an in-game comments option that could occur during timeouts or quarterly breaks. The option would be presented in a manner similar to the post game comments, but the result could impact player performance and team chemistry immediately. Telling a teammate to focus on crashing the boards, to be more aggressive offensively (taking an open jump shot), or to take fewer shots, would enhance gameplay.

Also, signature skills could affect the effectiveness of your comments (floor gen, or on-the-floor coach could increase the effect of your comments), or a defensively/offensively focused skill set could have a greater effect defensively/offensively (if you are a stronger defensive player, your defensive suggestions would have a greater impact as opposed to your offensive suggestions).

This type of improvement would give players a greater sense of control, and provide a more realistic experience that would increase the simulation immersion.
