Season 2 Ideas (Poll Options in post 37)

Firstly, Marcuss deserves credit for most of these ideas.

I feel we need something to differenciate this sim from the others. At the moment, there is nothing that makes this sim better than RLSim or SoccerSim and that is my aim; for this to be the best sim in the Other Sims section. For this to happen, major changes need to occur, and as I have said several times, Season 1 has been a testing season and has been very helpful in showing me what is needed to make this sim any good.

The main idea is to bring in finances. With the new plan the HoR role would be scrapped and his job would be given to Head Coach. Head Coach would also control training. Level 1, 2 or 3 Training Facilities could be bought with the higher level facilities advancing your players more quickly via training.

Obviously for this to work, club's would need budgets. And I would try and work out a decent limit for the facilities and the clubs seasonal budget which would be used for everything from player salaries to club facilties.

Player salaries. A club would need to dish out player salaries and this could be a factor in joining a club. The higher a player's salary, the better he will be. And this will contribute to a player's ability albeit not as much as past performances and post rank. This adds another dimension of contract offers and would make negotiations very very interesting.

Stadiums could also be an option. Starting with a size of 10000. A club makes a certain amount of money depending on form and players calibre. This can be upgraded as high as you like, but it will cost to upgrade.

Sponsors could also be brought in, so that every Round or 2 you receive a bonus in your budget, so that it does not run down too quickly. I am not sure what this could be based on, but make some suggestions on what you would like it to be, and it will be discussed.

I was also thinking that if there were 4 clubs, then there would be many pros and not too many cons. The players are very thinly spread across teams atm and each club having 20 active players will be awesome for activity and people trying to gain places imo.

Having 4 clubs would also allow a very decent Reserve Grade. The 4 Seasonal Rugby clubs could merge, 2 clubs merge together and the other 2 merge together, and they play against either 2 or 4 real life/made up teams that I add into the database.

The Financial Manager board position would be made available and he would be the guy that send in the upgrade applications and stadium upgrades etc.
The board would then look like this:

President
CoS
Financial Manager
Head Coach
Media Manager

Any other suggestions would be very good.

*Waits for BR comparisons*

 

If you wanted to keep your club, you could.

 

As I said; I want this sim to be better than RLSim and SoccerSim. That wil take hard work.

The same people could keep their teams if they wanted.

 

That would have to be the 'Canes. Unless one of the others wanted to fold. Would be severly unfair if I folded anyone else tbh.

 

Tbh I would have thought that removing the Chiefs would have made SR>>>RLSim for you?
