I disagree. I like just how they are worded now. They should give the managers some ideas but give nothing away. Then we can all experiment and find out for ourselves.

All these things are good and all but where is the buying freeze for the CUP? Now that would have a been an exciting change...A buying freeze going into the Cup 32 or 16 would make the cup way more exciting.....I guess maybe next season...

I understand your pursuit to happiness, but seriously every topic I go and you respond I see this Cup Proposal (which may be good, but thats not the point)..You lose strenghts in argument and it is not like that will help your proposal to speed up in the queue..

Actually they should add trade deadline like B3 when the b3 deadline take place it should take effect for playoffs and cup games that way there wont be a market speculations and so the great players would sell for most ,the prices will jump up and managers would be happy selling theyre product for a reasonable price,theyll be payed for theyre hard work and dedications make it the all-star break the deadline and with the new free agent system just dont allow to list players at the market,i f manager can handle the given players wage implement a 10-20% taxes
let me put it that way when you buy a player if you want to re-sell youre getting only about 80% of the price.where goes the other 20% make it when past the deadline and you can afford given player wage like the 500k beast out there you just fired them and by the rules theyre listed as free agents and take 20% commision i know is not real-like contract but theyre numbers of other unrealistic thing as in real life you can add free agents as many as you like and past the deadline you can only buy FA.the whole concept of the game wouldnt be messed up but the money would be more valuable right now you can buy a 50k Guard for much as 2m and a 200k guard about the same price this doesnt make sense.while if there is that deadline best players would sell for about the 10m mark No offence to the tanking team but with that pricing there wont have that edge for that long period of time,like now the top teams in B3 bought the monster team for as much as 15-20mil and for the wages about another 15-20 mil for the whole season ,this i think will motivate teams to train even harder,and with the new cross-training that would be presented there will be some really great players coming .

I strongly disagree with you or we don't understand each other. I try to explain it by example. It should be clear which interpretation of cross-training change is the right one, whether
A) there will boost/slowdown of training speed because of high/low level of skills which have no influence on particular trainings now (this is interpretation I'm for and hope for)
B) there will be additional pops of skills which are not popping by particular trainings now
C) or anythink else
Our job is by experimenting after introducing the change find out how strong is boost/slowdown of training (A) or how often are additional pops (B) and find our best way of training after the change. Our job is not testing which interpretation is right.

Yes, we disagree. That's okay.
I see our "job" as interpreting what we are given through experimentation.

About the cross-training I agree with you, and lot of other parts in the game that they give little informatrion about.

But you can't always defend the BB, there is no harm in clarifying what players will become free agents for example, that is not something we have to experimente ourselves. But even the BB said they could've made it more clear, I take that as a good point, they know what to say and what to hide.

There is another reason, why it could be as clear as possible and that is translation. If it's hard to understand for LA's it's even harder to translate it in proper way. In our language version from time to time news and other texts are translated in wrong way because of not clear original statement. And that's real problem for users which read just translated version and not the original one.
In your way it could end which statements like "we made some changes, try to find what they are ..." without any additional information.

Personally, since I first began playing this game in season 3, one of the things I like most about it is the news announcements from the BBs. I appreciate their literary flavor and think they add a lot of color which actually set this game apart from other online sim games. And, you are absolutely right about the FA part. Lo and Behold, a BB came in and clarified it.

@rwystyrk- you have a point. I feel for those of you who cannot appreciate the nuance and coolness of the writing style, and those who need or want to be be spoon fed. I don't have any foreign language skills that would allow me to translate nuance and vagaries, but I assume that some LAs must. I for one would be bummed if future news releases were a set of bullet points.

I wonder how some of my posts get translated...

Which reminds of that time when I was in a car wash, and the people who said they worked there tried to get me to leave the car wash and I was like, what are you guys talking about?, since I had already paid for the car wash, and what they said sounded a lot like blub blub blub wshhh wshhh wrrrerrrw and it kept getting harder and harder to understand them since I was getting more and more soap in my ears and when I was finally done with the car wash they wouldn't even towel me off.
