its not harming the top teams... if your roster has 6-7k players (i know salary aint the be all and end all but bear with me) then you improve them at the same speed as a team that has 12-15k players how will the lesser team close the gap?

oh and on the training side i decided to do a team training last week (one to one) 9 pops over 9 players.... clearly i wont be expecting anything this week!

Smoked Gouda you say.....

Is Gachai a cheese?

Maybe not harming but acting as resistance.

Gachai is a village of about 200 people in rural northeastern Thailand.

Both at the same time or either one would be fine.
There really are many solutions that work better than this one. I can understand that the BBs are waiting to figure out the best one possible, but this current system right now just does not work IMO.

Back to the trainer drops,

There was a lvl 9 trainer (Fermin Rosales), I think a couple of week back. If your lvl 10 has dropped to 9, wouldn't it make sense to switch trainers until the next lvl 10 comes along to prevent the risk of the trainer level dropping again (Considering the managers REALLY place importance on training)? I know I did.

By not changing there, you're basically saving up a week's wages against the risk of a skill drop before the next lvl 10 hits the market.

i think we all feel the staff system isn't really broken, but really isn't all that interesting. you basically have to just keep checking to make sure your trainer hasn't dropped and buy a new one when you can.. everyone gets the same chance to buy a new one.. so really it just is an added fixed cost to everyone, which i suppose means its a lower opportunity cost for higher level teams, which drives the separation larger in that way... and gives an advantage to more attentive owners.

anyway.. all in all I think all the BBs agree the current system is boring. We have had some long standing ideas of having coaches integrate into the GE so that a particular coach will make particular close call tactical decisions reproducibly and so you have to search for a coach whose coaching style matches what you think should be done.

For instance towards the end of the game when you are down there is a question of when you should start fouling, some coaches might want to start fouling sooner than others. Or if you are up by 3 do you foul in order to prevent them from getting off a 3 pointer? etc etc etc

My feeling has been that we haven't got a perfect handle on the end of game logic yet, so adding that sort of thing would confuse that optimization at this point.. but that is the best idea for how to make the staff system more interesting in my mind.
