As for the other ideas 6 and 7, they focus on same problem. Game is still unbalanced. LI is still way more reliable than any other offense. Those ideas are to try to fix that. They were not to be made at same time, only one was, and the other was just if one didn't fix it. Not much to argue here. The GDP was just as easier faster way to fix the unbalanced instead of actually fixing the unbalancing which is harder.

As for the draft ideas, the better option was just to get rid of 19yrs old. Just having 18 yrs old would do the trick ad fix-it for good. By keeping 19yrs old they really need to be interesting, just by making them slightly better wont do any good, just a cosmetic change with no effect whatsoever. To make then desirable there should be a CHANCE of getting a fully trained 18yrs old. Repeat. CHANCE. It might be, or not. This would not make 18yrs old pointless because with a 18yrs old you could train him according to your taste, as for 19yrs old the training distribution would be random and might not please you and be a worst option.

As for training faster it would be a temporary option. Jist to have more players being trained, and have more players on the market which is slim right now (lots of junk out there however). The effect would be small, just to make it a little bit more interesting and desirable for everyone.

To finalize, dont say i just want the game easier, because i dont, i will quit the game this or next season, havent decide yet, so any changes would not affect me in any way.

Around 50% of the elimination games in current season B3 were with LI. 2 LI for the last World Cup NT games (5 last week. It's 7 out of 16 teams). That's a lot, but that's not everyone. There is discussion about SB currently on the Global forum which should deter even more people to play LI. Possibly, maybe. It's up to the managers to do with what they have.

Thats nice. But lacks context. You are mixing everything. How many from those 50% os LI/LP teams lost against others with same tactical choices? And how many did win with LI/LP?

There is an unbalanced which is clear to everyone and NEEDS to be fixes ASAP. Changing SB wont do any good. Your either have to make outside shooting more effective by making JR cheaper, or OD less effective and/or inside defende more effective.

they really seems suggestions by someone who didn't make any effort to learn the game, thus not allowing him to enjoy it. Some of them are related to real issues, ex. the of valuable player in the market, I just don't agree with the proposed solution, which focuses only on how to simplify the game.

I knew something like this would appear. You are wrong.

This is my second account. Dont get fooled by it. Im a very sucessfull manager with long experience as LA, GM, NT Manager, BBB and a long list of national titles.

I don't agree with the third suggestion. If you're play 3-4 games in a week you need to sign a lot of backups and other players for not decrease your players Game Shape.

Or just raise the ideal minutes/week by 24-36

Optional, but I don't think that it's recomended. It'll not like in the real life.

Don't ask me to start counting what's "not like in real life" in BB, I don't have that much time.
How realistic is that you have to put your center to PG position in league games if you want to train him passing or a little bit of OD? How realistic is that you gain GS by telling your players to not win (TIE)? How realistic is that your staff asks more money every week forever without developing? How realistic is that you can turn over the ball 4-5 times in a row? How realistic is that you can train only 1-2 positions (please don't tell me about training JS for the whole team, it's awful)? And so on...
It's a game, the goal is to make users (so basically us) entertained. Training is the base of the game so anything that helps training better (more effective/entertainng/successful) is supported by me. Economy is a key factor too, so having 50% more income/week (11 home games in 8 weeks instead of the current 12 weeks) is supported as well.

the only two suggestions i like are 1# and increasing the training speed just a little. but the later will have enormous influence on the transfermarket so we should be careful.

I think a rebalance of training speeds / secondary skills trained would be a better solution. JR and SB training needs to be boosted dramatically, HA training would need to be changed completely to ever be useful, and 1v1 probably needs scaled down some so it doesn't do quite so much.

I'm not against having an extra game on Sunday to reduce season length but how would that effect training and minutes for a player in a week? IMO I love how BB is right now. Some people just don't have the patience and trying to alter the game due to users lacking patience makes no sense to me.
