Coach Hiring Decision

[emplep7]

Based on the voting, I want to provide each GM a chance to make this how they want so instead of doing a global change we will do it based on that GMs preference. Please reference the background two options below:

Coach Hiring Changes
With DDS22 giving us the option to finally set all teams to the same owner budget, we can now give more flexibility to this coach hiring process and will do this fully in game and not manual anymore.

Proposal
- Every team has the same set budget that accounts for both coaching and training staff (with a set total hard cap for coaching/training staff).
- Teams will be able to offer coaches (HC through A3) any salary they want and there will no longer be set values for each level. This means you can decide to spend big on a HC at the expense of the rest of your staff or go cheap and save money for a more well-rounded coaching and training staff.
- This will allow teams to finally get to have a good training staff if they want to prioritize that.
- This will start NEXT offseason so that we can do this in the new game.

Options
Option 1: Keep coach contracts the same length as they are now (this benefits those who really want to keep their coaching staff, but will mean you do not get to upgrade your training staff)

Option 2: During the transition, we set all coaches to have 1 year contracts. This means that everyone will be starting over and using the new system next year.

Please post below which option you would like to move forward with during the transition. You can change your mind until this thread is locked and the file is being transitioned.

NOTE: If you do not post your preference, you will automatically be transitioned with Option 1.

what exactly is the training staff and do we even know if it plays any sort of impact?

Good question.

Option 1 for me please

[drumr]

Option 1 please. I like my staff and would prefer to upgrade as I want over time

If we can figure out the impact of the training staff, then this will definitely help a ton with the decision.

For now I say option 2.

I think it helps reducing injuries...

I couldn't say as it depends on the potential discussion too.

A better training staff reduces the number of injuries and the duration of injuries on your team. With Option 1, you will have the minimum training staff.

As for if it makes a difference, it hasn't been tested that much but if you have the game it should be a pretty easy test to run.
