Well.... if tanking is a huge problem now. I see the tanking problem growing only bigger if we abandon the draft system, for this system.

can you explain, why tanking get more popular, when you don't give tanking team a bonus in a early draft pick?

Tankers aren't tanking for the bonus of getting a good draft pick though (normally). They're tanking for the $$$ to go out and buy an all-star team for last second runs, etc.

Maybe... maybe not.

Do these people while in academy have a salary? What will their salary look like coming out? Will everyone be able to afford their guys? What happens when they can't be afforded? Bot team's academy players? etc.

Tankers, will have more money to hit the TL (much like currently).

academy will have weekly cost (40k -20k or smth like that).

Yes the academy will have a cost. But what about each player AT the academy?

What about when they "graduate"?

Isn't the academys all about richer teams molding "draft players" to suit their needs. I don't see how anything good can come out of this. Academys actually guarantee you a good pick if you put money into it. So basically, I can win the league, put money in the academy (no investment in the draft ofcourse) and get a better 18yo than a team that relegates?
I like that the draft is a unpredictable. TL is flooded with great talent every season and great 18yo's are not expencive either. You don't need a perfect trainee, the sooner people get that, the better. You can cap a pot4 trainee with decent starting skills in 1-1,5(max) season(s) with lvl5 trainer. Pot7 player capped is already a solid starter in divI (1568 teams out of ~50k). Superstar is only needed, if you plan on improving the player, while playing in the top division. How many managers actually train their player to NT from scratch? You can prolly do it in a small country, but not in a competitive country.
I've seen great estonian draftees go for 10-50k, which are over 50sp (no ft or st included) and have atleast pot7. What else do you need?

Academys will not change BB to suddenly become a daily/hourly game. You will set the academy parameters and will see what happens in a week. How is that different than waiting for training on friday?
I just don't think guaranteed draftees/trainees with extra merc bonus is a step in a right direction.

if there oriantate on the youth academy in hattrick, you don't get perfect trainee out of it(or at least there wouldn't be ton of them). But you have more impact on the talent you aquire.

You are planning to do a lot shooting training on your guard next season, you can cancel it at your top prospect and concentrate first on other things.
