Head coach

Just downloaded the new patch. Checking everything out and finally hired a head coach! Only issue is when I go to manager options, I can't set any of the controls to my head coach - only assistant.

I'm thinking maybe it defaults to your head coach if you have one even if still says "assistant'?

Actually, the ability to hire head coaches was supposed to have been turned off in the new version, because it's not quite complete - it shuts off the ability to change some things (if you go to your lineup page, you'll notice you can't dress/scratch players anymore), which isn't necessarily how we want that to work. Looks like it wasn't deactivated completely.

But yeah, the "assistant" in this sense isn't literally the assistant coach, it just means getting automatic assistance from the AI in making those decisions - but right now, hiring a head coach will take some of those abilities away from you regardless of whether or not that control is set to you or the assistant/

Is this a fresh install or did you just over-install from previous build?

So for now would it be best to not hire a head coach until this gets fixed?

Finally! A recognition of the need to let the GM have a proper Coach doing the coaching job.

Is there any time-line that you can divulge regarding this part of the game? And how are you planning to implement the feature and how will it work?

Now would be a good time to discuss this with us, it might save you some time of having to redo things later.
