Go read the news again. The 10% that might be taken from a player's primary skill will be distributed to other areas. -10% +10% = no change.

I disagree. There will always be teams willing to train U21 players.

So, the next time you go to a food market and the seller puts some potatoes in your tomatoes you will not complain.

From my perspective this game has already enough randomness. I think that, if the BBs wanted to achieve the same effect they could have simply made more substantial and maybe also wider the effect of training secondary skills, maybe adding more reasonable side effects (JS - JR -> FT).

I choose my own vegetables at the market.

What that has to do with my last post is very difficult for me to figure out.

I agree that JS training should train FT. I also see the validity of people improving in handling skills while they train JS, or SB when they train 1v1. Practicing basketball is not, or shouldn't be, about improving one skill. The majority of modern basketball drills incorporate many skills.

Similarly I'd like to choose what to train. Simple as that.

This is a popular opinion, but nothing could be farther than the truth.

BB has a lot less randomness than real basketball.


I'm not talking about realism, I didn't mean to say that BB is more random that reality.
I'm talking about BB as a game, as a manager game. IMHO BB has already enough randomness. In fact I do not criticize the fact that this innovation is not realistic, it's a game, it's an oversimplification of reality meant to be fun. That's the point: I don't think that this innovation improves my gaming experience.

While that is a totally valid opinion, I find it interesting that you have formed it without even experiencing the change yet. Very open-minded of you.

Well, I find your comment quite rude.

However, I can read and I can perfectly understand when my freedom of choice is being reduced.
I prefer planning to gambling, that's why I'm liking BB a little bit less.

You get to choose 90% of what you train now. Maybe you can look at it this way- Your players cannot practice 100% every single day because sometimes they are tired, or slightly injured, or have relationship problems. So they, over a week, get 90% of their theoretically maximum training. That sounds pretty good- to be at 9 of 10 every day in practice. But wait! They actually are at close to 100% because since they practice so hard (90% every day!!!) their auxiliary skills improve. To just make blanket "I hate this" statements is just so easy and negative and closed-minded, in my opinion. The truth is that speeds will be hardly noticeable unless players are trained for a very long time.
