Figuring out what coaching "settings" will work best with what and when will be even more varied aspects of play that people into the shell game of match ups will enjoy tinkering with.
If its an interesting enough challenge people will reactivate their old heroes to do it. If not, then owners will have an added expense to get their own vets out to turn into coaches, or do without.
For my part, I like the idea that I can trot out my old guys for some more seasons, and will have more game choices to make.
Not that I have time for half the ones we already have LOL.
the problem is you are losing and in some cases lost the casual gamer. Just looking at the lack of leagues now is almost shocking. 20 of the 32 AA leagues are gone now. In just that division you are looking at nearly a 63% reduction in players from probably a year ago. At any level in the minors you have only 9 leagues so there is no one coming to fill that slack and that actually seems to be a huge reduction in future players. I believe that also reduced as not that long ago you have 4 Elite Minor Leagues and now most have 1 at the most.
I think it is somewhat safe to say this site has lost 50% of the players they had a year ago and given these changes and complicating of the game I expect that number to go higher.
