I choose my own vegetables at the market.


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

From my perspective this game has already enough randomness.


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.

In fact I marked the "I don't like it" option.

If you stick to this line, I'll tell you that if I'm being close minded you're being disrespectful of the opinion of other people.

Everyone not sharing your opinion is closed minded? You know, in Italy we had one person that was always right, his name was Mussolini...

That is what I said. I have no problem with you having that opinion, as I stated. I find it closed-minded to come to a conclusion without experiencing it. It's like saying I hate gelato without ever eating any. Please don't put words in my mouth that aren't there. You are allowed to think any way you like. I am trying to point out that maybe you should wait before you hate. I answered, "have to wait and see" because well, I have to wait and see.

Ok, you're the only person that can read here, the only person that can think clearly here, of course there cannot be another opinion that is equally valid as yours.

I'm done talking with you.

Don't get so surly. You said I was being disrespectful to you when I wasn't. Again, any opinion is valid. Do you not see how saying I hate something before it has even happened might be a bit reactionary?

Thank you for your advice, I cannot remember now how many times I have read the new article and everytime I read it on and on, I did it more carefully than the occasion before.

I hope you learnt good mats in class, but I am absolutely sure that you should re-read some parts of it (I am now 33, and I can tell you that it works, you should give it a go too).

If I train a given skill at a rate of 100%, and then it is reduced to 90%, that is NOT the same SPEED. 10 pops of defence in the old system equals to 9 pops in the new system. If I want to improve defence from level 4 to level 14, it equals roughly to 13 now (and I still did not take into account that it takes more time to improve a skill from 12 to 13 than it is from 4 to 5) and I will have to continue training it to 14. 10% will be allocated to other skills (some that I may never train and even unnecessary to train) so trat is a loss to some extent, that is for sure, even after reading the article for the 12th time.
