Excellent whining, boys.


I'll be bringing back some cheese to go with our whine later if you want to stop by and join in.

For some of us the difference between lvl8 & 10 trainer is a big deal. We would like our players to develop at the most optimal speed....

I really, really dislike this system.

I simply cannot see the logic behind it. First of all, thousands of teams have the same trainer (and that by itself makes no sense at all). Secondly, it just slows down the training of every single player (because I don't think anybody has a lvl.10 anymore). Thirdly, I don't see why I cannot choose to have a top-level manager if I choose to /and can afford to).

I really, really dislike this system.

Two simple measures will probably improve the system significantly:

(1) Being able to invest in 'Recruitment', which will basically result in getting you staff normally distributed around a certain level of skill with a standard deviation of 0.66 levels. Example:

40k per week = level 9
20k per week = level 6
10k per week = level 3
0k per week = level 1

You can retain a flavor of the current system by having people who have the same investment level pull identical staff each week, just like they do like now. Maybe just shuffle the name for realism

(2) Lock staff level for 1 season -- just make staff retain their level for 14 weeks before before a chance that they might loose skill appears.

And at the moment, the optimal speed is level 8 or whatever the best available trainer is.

Personally, I think these reductions in trainer level are put in place to add a bit of reistance to the top or richest teams. Fair enough, I say. I would like a level 10 trainer all the time as well, but if that's not the way it happens, then I will deal with it. I have the same trainer that you do, and last week I had three players pop out of the seven I trained, even though it was the first week I trained that skill ( pressure).

ps- Smoked Gouda? I love that one...

Either of those solutions would be an upgrade.

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?

I was thinking about both at the same time.

Since I have no supporter at this point, feel free to bring them up in the federation instead of me.
