I would find very interesting to see sublevels for my players. I invest lot of time in planning training and it would be great if I can see what is influence on players sublevels.
Is there any plans in BB for next season to implement this possibility?

GM told me that this is not belong to Help forum so I ask here.

I think that this feature is not going to make the game much easier but it would be great to see that training is paying off.
Everybody likes to see a pop on Friday, now everybody will be happy even without pop.

Please be constructive in your answers, do you think this is going to make this game more enjoyable and playable by majority of the managers?

This won't happen, but you picked the right forum ;)

Well, there is a lot of talk about training speeds (look to BB Global forum). You should be able to calculate your training pops very well with those lists. A program named Buzzer Control (http://www.buzzercontrol.com) calculates sub-levels increase. I am using it, but do not expect perfection, the training minutes are not too properly drawn from the original BB.
I think if the developers wanted you to see the sub-levels they would've implemented them from the start.


Cheers, Exos

This will not happen.

This is actually one of the few philosophies that has been adopted from Hattrick:

In the Hattrick database, all team and player abilities are represented by exact numerical values. However, describing a player's skill at something as 37.567 would be pretty boring and not very realistic. Instead, we use different denominations to describe these values, so one player might be "excellent" at passing the ball, while another player might be "formidable".

The less Hattrick the better the game.

So you think that having exact decimal levels for a player is better?

I'm undecided.

On the other hand many managers I know just condsider nomenclature of levels of skills as just one more thing on learning curve - to learn what term is what number. I guess many of us just see 9 instead of proficient and so on. The drawback is that every language version has to come up with theirs specific terms causing more confusion among managers used to different language versions.

I guess the suggestion was more about player profile page hwen you actually own the player then about player overview on TL, roster etc.

Giving the ratings names is great, i'd rather my power foward be tremendous at rebounding than 13.2 at rebounding but I think it'd be great that when I hovered my mouse over the skill it give a more accurate number, maybe to 2 decimal points. It'd help with training. But it might make working a lot of the formulas out a lot easier, I guess the thrill of the "will they pop wont they pop" Friday morning is a fun part of the game.

I think that's the main answer.
