Coaches

[The Sandmen]

The suggestion of coaches came up. Please discuss below.

General gist I think would be you could add a coach to your team and they could give you a boost of some sort?

I donno, discuss details, options, and possibilities below. We might be able to get something worked out.

My main "thing" is if he can get it worked out, I want it to be real coaches. Not like, Mickey Gall and CM Punk or anything silly. Guys like Greg Jackson, or something.

Things to discuss:
- Do you buy coaches with points?-
- Do you get them or their boost forever? For a season? for a fight?
- Can you trade coaches?
- What, if anything, does the coach-boost do?
- Is it a real thing, or just a "for show/prestige" thing?

Discuss!

Get real life coaches and decide what attributes they will specialize in.... maybe you have to spend points to purchase better coaches, but in the long run they will produce points that are supposed to be used for whatever they specialize in.

[The Texas Rattlesnakes]

Apparently nobody else gives a damn.

[The Mighty Ducks]

i already got my coaches so give me my upgrades

I like the idea. Puts a focus on the MMA process as a whole, as coaches play a big role in helping their fighters prepare.

[xx - Former Bulldozers]

And I say you get better coaches for point.

Weak Coach = 2 points
Decent Coach = 5 points
Good Coach = 10 points
Great Coach = 15 points
Best Coach = 20 points

This will make people save their points to get an advantage and to get the best coach it would take 10 weeks of saving which not many people would do since they'd rather grow their fighters.

Also, Ducks you get no additional points with your coaches since they aren't coaches.

So another question to everyone - what should coaches do? Like, +# to particular stats? Lots of coaches I don't even know what I would say they specialize in. Like Greg Jackson...he's kinda like the "game plan" guy, so how does that translate to points or upgrades?

[The Texas Rattlesnakes]

Great coaches could add points to maybe a limited amount of abilities.... maybe stand up, clinch game or ground game?

[The Sandmen]

What if those are maxed?

Then they help other fighters.

[The Texas Rattlesnakes]

Or then people can trade coaches for other fighters or points or something.

Here's the #1 thing I do not want to be doing:
Team signs Coach
Team gets +1 to all stats for all fighters
Team trades coach 3 events later
I am stuck removing about 200 points from a whole team of fighters who then lose the bonuses they had that were applied to their whole team.

Something the same but totally different we could do is you have a permanent, non-real coach, but you pay points to level them up so its non-transferable. So I have Coach Bobby-Jon. Lets say for 10 points I can level him up to level 1. Lets say at Level 1, all my fighters get a +1 to strength. Then lets say I pay another 10 points to level up my coach to level 2. All my fighters get a +1 to stamina...or whatever. Those details can be worked out afterwards, but its a different way to do it where coaches would not transfer, it would have to do with your team.

I guess the downfall there though is once a fighter is traded, they should lose that bonus, so I don't really know if there is a way around the whole having to change fighter stats constantly. I also don't want to just leave the points in, have someone upgrade a coach, then try to trade fighters they don't want off for more then they are actually worth because of points they put into their coaches, not that specific fighter....I donno...do I care about that? I'll get back to you.

There really are a lot of different ways we can do the coaches, so let me know what you prefer:
Option 1 - hire a real life coach for a season
Option 2 - have permanent team-coaches that you can level up
Option 3 - hire real coaches forever and they are untradable
Option 4 - everyone gets a free real coach in the draft and...something...happens with them....?

I donno, keep discussing. More input, lots of input, put all of your thoughts here. Everything! We don't have a lot of time to get this hammered out.

I like Option 4

I like option 2 ... but more work needs to be done on these ideas
