Stuff - Raven - 01-21-2018
So I`m going to put some suggestions here, following my podcast in which I took a closer look at the PT: Changes which ran a few weeks ago.
1. Offseason event
So I`m going to steal this one from the SHL, because I like the idea of it. Starting from a week before the NSFL entry draft, we have a special draft media bonus active. Write x amount of words about x amount of draftees and get x amount of bonus.
Let's say as an example: write atleast 150 words about 3 differnt rookies each and get a 500k media bonus. Add a cap of 3 of these kinds of media a person.
This adds some exposure for draftees, offseason activity, little bonus moolah.
2. Archetype change rule
Why the hell can't I change my archetype after 3 seasons, but I can suddenly gain 100 pounds and grow 9 inches and play a completely different position just like that. I would imagine it's easier to change your playing style then suddenly play a different position?
Personally I`d say drop the 3 season rule and keep it a one time thing.
3. Rookies in sim
I don't know if the sim engien has this feature, but if posible can we add a rookie flag to players in the index? In the SHL, players who are rookies can easily be spotted due to a "®" next to their names.
Would be dope if we can have something like that in the sim aswell.

I like all of these ideas. I especially like the offseason bonus event. Even if it weren't exactly in the rookie exposure form (which I do like), I'd be happy to see some kind of offseason incentive to keep things lively.

I'm definitely a fan of an offseason event, whether it's this or something else. I like putting the spotlight on the rookies.
As far as the sim engine, I don't think it's possible to do anything like that. Unfortunately. I like that idea, though.

Was playing around - confirmed that either A - it is not possible. Or B - I'm too stupid to figure it out.

I'm pretty sure the flag exists in the sim itself, because the player experience is a field, iirc ... so it's just a case of making the change
The easiest way would actually be to add "[R]" after every rookie on creation, and then remove it afterwards... but that would take a while unless you directly edit the sim database (which is what I'm going to look into when I get home)
Should be something simple like running a query like "UPDATE Players SET Name=Name & ' [R]' WHERE Experience=0" on the database itself.

I have no idea if experience affects in-game performance though so it should be checked out.
