I like the SIM as well though it doesn't lend itself as well to this game as it did in TS3. I think another alternative to this would be to simply just have bronze coaches so that way it eliminates TS4's skills and leaves only player skills to decide the outcome.
EDIT: but again you'd just see most people using the same setups with that so it's really all the same thing when you get down to it.
You have good arguments in your post. However I think that by limiting the top 3 coaches, it will open up for new coaches. Besides, it's really pathetic to have a player build who has 90/90 wings. It's just so immensely unrealistic and arcade. That alone should be a good reason for restricting some of them. When it comes to Rabari, I think he's too competent of a build. Since the game doesn't really care about stamina, you can hit those great power shots all the time. I have yet to play a Neuwirth that I feel is overpowered, but the poll I made some time ago shows that many people are using him. Don't know if anything is OP with him. What I do have experienced is that in almost all matches against Rabari and Welsh, I feel cheated when Rabari just sends a crushing passing shot power shot that your player don't react to at all. He just protects his face or something. I feel cheated when Welsh out of nowhere sends a slow, insanely placed control shot which totally outplays my player. These two builds at least, should be restricted to a few max stats. Where for example, Welsh are only available with 84/84 wings and Rabari only available with 84 stat cap or maybe max 2-3 red attributes. Any other ideas?
I don't know
I think the tour will be much better, when "normal" custom builds have a chance against those top 3(or top 5 or 6) builds.
You also say that the safest option might be to leave it all alone. However, I don't think trying some rules will ruin anything. There are fewer and fewer people playing TS4 now. This site could be the one to change that trend.
It might be fun to play a match with Rabari vs Rabari. Welsh vs Welsh. Or Rabari vs Welsh. Though I think it will be much more fun if these builds actually gets vulnerable against other builds than each other.
Sim tour will never loose it's purpose. There is a whole different mind-set to those matches than regular tour matches. You know what build your opponent will be using, therefore you can plan ahead of your match and have a gameplan going into the match. In regular tour you have to work out your plan during the first set.
, we'll take that into account
