This is an idea that i came up with, and a fellow member FatalHussein even went into a further detail. I really hope the admins read this because its something sort of new and something the EA doesn't have, that will give them a unique feture for Legacy mode.
When scheduling a new game in a season, it would be nice if they offered us the option to set up future games with the team also, so we could maybe schedule a 2 game series or maybe even start a yearly matchup without having to worry about remembering it the next season. This may be an added difficulty, but actually having to set-up a schedule with not only home-and-home series, but maybe a 2-for-1 series if you are a lower tiered team. Also when starting a closed legacy, having to add money games to help your school maintain a budget. I know that alot of this would also qualify for a athletic director type situation. That way next year if i am University of Central Arkansas, i know that there is no way in hell to get a Duke, UNC, Kansas, etc. for a home game, and instead having to go to their place for $$ for the budget. I also think that you should get rated on how much money you bring into your school, from season ticket sales, games, camps, even endorsements.
_______________This is from Fatal Hussein_______________
To add on, I think they should add the influence of the schools Athletic Director.
1. When starting your career at ****poor U., I would like to see a growing visual following of my program (more fans in the stands baby!) than if my program began to stink it up (the janitor, parents, and the womens basketball team would be the only people brave enough to sit through such mockery).
2. I believe that gate revenue should accumulate and you can purchase facilities or equipment to aid with practice (buy a weight room, that you can actual go in andperform weight drills...similar to Madden's combine feature). Also, with the growing number of fans and school following by the community, that should interest pre-season tourney hosts to invite your school due to the amount of revenue it would make. Getting invited to such tourneys would give your program exposure and recognition.
3. Also, the AD would be able to make counter offers if another school came knocking. Say UNC offered to make you head basketball coach and promised $1 million per year. Your AD should be able to make a counter offer and if you accept and stay, that should give an instance boost to the programs credibility, making recruiting and playing big time ball much easier.
4. Since Nike, adidas, Powerbar, Gatorade, All State, and Pontiac are already offered as in game sponsors, I think they should expand the sponsor list to include more corporations (its a win-win scenario...the companies get free advertising and the game takes on a more realistic feel).
5. Also, it would be a nice addition for the commentators to comment on a players draft status. They could make comments like "he may opt to turn pro after the season...he's a sure lottery pick...his draft stock has risen lately...one NBA scout said that _________is coveted by alot of NBA General Mangagers". That would serve to let us know who has a good chance of going pro and who we may want to be on the look out for if we are importing them into 2k7.
6. Also, similar to NCAA, not all games should be commentated. I think the smaller matchups should only have the scorers table announcer and the crowd. Maybe throw in some ficticious "local" channels and have a default "Bob Smith" announcer call the game. I think it would add more feel to a big game if you looked on the schedule and saw that a t.v. station picked up one of your games.
7. I also think that they should allow a part of your stadium, coliseum, center, etc, where you can "hang" championship banners. Over the span of a legacy, you may rack up accomplishments that would be nice to look at during a game 15 years into, that reflects back on the first conference title you won.
8. The cheerleaders definitely need to perform during intermissions
9. Have more cut scenes during the selection show of teams when they hear that they made the tourney, and when they find out the are off the bubble.
10. And finally...more hype around the Final Four games!!!!!!!!!!!
Once again, i really do hope the admins read this, i think this feature would be so unique and so much more fun to play.
