Lane 4: Track and Field Coach Simulator

Its was fun for a few hours, tapped out the content at around 5 hours. VERY simple. NO stat or event tracking history on individuals. NO awards. Just half a dozen tournements, that never change year to year. Inbox feature is useless, making relevent news hard to get. Next to ZERO replay value. BUT, the game presents nice. Was briefly pretty fun. IF an early access or beta, I would have positived and hoped for further refinement. Game would be pretty fun, if it had ALOT more depth. As it sits right now, a very simplisitc sim, with little replay value

I have played this game for about 12 hours and 10 seasons because I am track enthusiast. I think this game is very fun but I want to give some ideas. One thing you should try adding is a school best, that shows throughout your coaching careers the bests in each event. Also you should fix the bests for the athletes because some of my athletes PRs never updated. Also another cool thing would be adding state bests that track every single event throughout every meet and keeps the bests for each event saved. These two things would give the players more things to chase after. Then if you wanted to add more meets to the schedule you could add another event, for high school nationals, and make the competition a lot more difficult. If you do this then you could add national records also to each events. Then you could also add more events, ex. Triple jump, and pole vault for jumps, Javelin and Hammer for throws. Now thinking about it you could even add a short preseason with indoor, events could be, 55, 60, 200 for sprints, hurdles- 60h, mid distance- 400m, 600m, maybe 800m distance- 1600, 3200 Jumps- LJ, HJ, Triple jump, Throws- Shotput, maybe hammer. Then relays for indoor, 4x200, 4x400, indoor distance medlay, 1600, 400, 800, 1200 I think but you get the jist. I think this is a very fun game but with a few more updates this game could be peak simulation for track fans.

Loving the game! A couple of questions: Can things be updated to see where other teams around the state are, and can there be crossover between Divisions (ie. smaller schools and larger schools within the state)? Also, any chance we could get a Discord started up? Would love to talk to others about this game!

Pretty fun so far! I'm one season in and ready strategize on my off-season training. I found that I get improved results with modifying the in-season training and making tweaks to which events the athletes enter. I think there's more to be learned from studying the opponents each week and adjusting my line-up to strategize getting more points at each meet. I'm going to give that a deeper that portion of my coaching strategy next season. There's a lot more strategic implications hidden throughout. A real puzzle to absolutely maximize my team's performance.

If you have used Claude you will recognize the UI to this game right away. Don't waste the money on a lazy AI build.

Glad to see a solid track game considering it is more of a niche interest. The dev has been really quick to make improvements.

Ehhhh its ight
