No, it's isn't the same thing.That's what the person says who was also upset about the superfluous characters and events being added. Sorry for this attack. But that is just as inconsistent as your allegation. I'll say it again: check your motivation.
1) I saw the coaching job as a way to consolidate the story. Currently there are numerous characters that need individual events in order for Sophia to interact with them. The coaching job would have made it easier for characters like Sophia, Dylan, Zach, Alyssa, Ellie, and others, to all be in the same place at the same time. This could have saved L&P time in drawing/rendering new environments and writing new events in order for Sophia to see certain characters. Instead, L&P could have used a routine coaching job as a convenient way for everyone to interact and progress relationships.
2) The coaching job provided a great excuse to cut the meandering nursing home storyline. Unless this storyline makes huge progress in this upcoming update, it will have been a waste of time. Eliminating this storyline would not only streamline the story, it would also eliminate characters that are adding nothing to the story and open up opportunities for Sophia to spend more time with characters that matter.
3) Even IF I'm being inconsistent (which I'm not) it still doesn't explain how a storyline like the coaching job could be introduced and then canceled all within one update. If he didn't have a concrete plan for the coaching job from the very beginning he should never have introduced it. I said this from the very beginning, that I felt it was odd to casual throw this new storyline out there but tell everyone that the story may not be developed. This is terrible, TERRIBLE, planning.
