How about guessing pace then? E.g. I guess only fast pace and opponent has selected Motion offense (not fast). Will this also impact (=lower) for my outside defense ratings?
I believe that giving all the answers takes an important factor out of the game and that's finding out how some of the features work. Let's put this question in that category, at least for now.

Last round ONE team in my leage has used. it. 1 out of 16 teams, yes indeed it's almost nobody.

I hope we will see 100% against the bots tonight. That would prove me wrong.

I think Marin's intention was to also correct the low transfer values. Except for well trained all around good players, transfer money is very small percentage of total expenses for a player. For example, you pay a 200k salary guy 500k, or 50k LOL, his yearly wages are 1.4 million. So only 25% goes to transfer and 75% goes to yearly wages, and that number is probably even less on average, basically meaningless.

So one of he goals of the tax was probably to redirect some wage money into transfer money. Also, OE tax, helped by the salary maximum, should retire quite a few of those high salaried players. This should lead to a more realistic transfer market, where you'll actually need to pay for a player, not only maintain his salary.

I believe we all agree that overspending is a problem that needed addressing.
The BBs have done just that. Now its obvious that some people disagree with the action taken in order to counterattack the problem. Fair enough. But...

No, we don't all agree on that. In my opinion tanking and it's gain is the real problem.

If a team saves money earned through training and selling trained players it now is punished in two ways: it can't spend the saved money without getting an extra tax and it doesn't have the training exemption any more because it sold its trained players. Why shouldn't a team spend its money for a team that's more expensive than its saved money?

The real problem is tanking: it makes earning money still way too easy. As long as there are 20000 spectators watching a game with one team intenionally losing by 100 points we need to address tanking instead of overspending.

Personally, I like the changes.

What you've said is perfect, though. Fan Survey is hilarious.

I tanked last season and I still wholeheartedly agree. I made 5M in one season which is great, but in terms of competitiveness it's a catastrophe. I'm losing 150k/week now, but who cares? I'll still have 3.2M out of it at end of the season, plus 1M for advancing to D.I. Oh, and I nabbed a HoFdraftee that sold for 900k.

Tanking is still way too easy and brings in too much money. On other hand, D.I teams can't afford to train out of position at all (that's why I tanked). They even can't afford to train players with salary under 50k. So what's the deal with D.I? You can't train young players and you can't make profit since you relegate if your team has salaries under 600k. It's either tank or go for the championship.

4 of 16 for our DIV I.

If thats the goal of developing new stuff, namely add sthg. useful for 20-30% of the users, the GDP is a great success. If we see like less than 80% usage against bots tonight it should be a huge disappointment/suprise. Why would someone miss an easy opportunity?

I think if we see low usage it tells sthg. about communication from top to bottom.

I wrote "overspending is A problem", not THE problem. Do you disagree on that or you just wrote something irrelevant to my post?

I agree with you that tanking needs addressing more aggresively.
