Performance is Key, But Don't Forget Strategic Design!
Performance is top priority. You received lots of suggestions on that topic. But please don't forget the strategic element of design! Two important design changes on a TTC style base are:
(1) The base shell should look the same in the front and back so that when the figure is on the base, the opposing coach can't tell whether the figure is on the base forwards or backwards. This is an especially important feature to promote pulling offensive linemen. But it would also be a huge feature for running backs. Heck, it could also be really cool on defense.
(2) The dial should be uniform all around. In other words, don't have that little notch cut out like on all thee TTC dials. It is another dead give-away. Your ITZ dials and the new F5 dials thankfully do not have this.
If you really want to get creative, design bases for certain positions. Have some bases that are perfectly flat like a rectangle and then some that are rounded like a circle.
Now that I think of it, rookie bases should also have the same look for front and back. This design feature could really enhance the way we play.
