1) Since the SB is costier now in terms of salary, is it going to consume more potential too? You have not touched the concern about ousting out lower potentials from mostly smaller NTs, the text is here: (https://discord.com/channels/1252253812765495386/125225381...), but if this is correct, this is another step in the mentioned direction, if you ask me.

2) Is SB training now training IS too? If so, what are the rough estimates or the ratio? More than ID, more than rebounding? If yes, at what expense - is SB training SB, ID or rebounding a bit slower or is overall SB training just a bit faster in general now?

Thank you for your time

Hey,
as far as I got with the info from discord.

1) it should, potential is somehow linked with salary so with higher salary -> higher pot consumption.

2) nothing was mentioned about changes to SB training, other than SB elastic should be adjusted slightly.

What JR loop hole, most players cap out at 13-14????

I don't understand what will they do tonight.

Note no.04: The new salary formula has a couple of unintended consequences: inside shot became slightly less expensive for guards and small forwards, while inside defense became more expensive. Along with that, we feel shot blocking was not made expensive enough for them. This is counter to what we are trying to achieve so another salary update will be done to rectify these tonight.

What are they doing to the salary formula for the guards and SF?
- revert the changes to the salary for guards and SF?
- increase the weigh of IS and SB and keep the increased weigh of ID guards and SF from the first change?
- increase the weigh of IS and SB and revert the previously increased weigh of ID for guards and SF?

Nothing was said about the salary formula for PF and C, so
- will they keep the previously increased weigh of SB for the bigs?

Hello

BB,Marin and. Spicy sparks


I have 5 question some may seem long winded., and some may seem resentful but that’s not the case , just hard questioning . In hard times.. these question should heal the community ( give assurances). If answered

1.The tactical paradox:

If specialists still work on the court , why penalize them with high salaries instead of fixing the match engine. A lot would see this as charging a.tax for winning a match or a a small club tax for defeating better players within game perimeters given to start not loopholes as it being stated as. To be clear , Because they trained their player better than the next?


2.Killing innovation :

Community. Guides and unique builds were discovered through years and years of hard work by Communities not loop holes , By those who had no guides to go by .By forcing to train balanced players with no guide now. Would this seem as dictating how to train players or favoring an element of the game none truly knows without a blueprint given to succeed.


3,Rich get Richer:

Spiking the cost of a specialized weapon and their counter completely prices out small market teams. How can a lower budget manager compete with legacy clubs when their bankroll or better understanding of the game absorb all these new way more fluently than the rest. Too be clear with this, Basically forcing small clubs to sell to the rich.

4.Stunted growth :

The new formula players hit their potential cap faster., My question is why create a economic system where managers must internally stop training a draft pick. Or a player So they can afford them long term.

5.Destroying a pipeline:

Old training. Blueprints are obsolete leaving many veterans unable to teach new managers how to build correctly., Would it be fair to say this update can ruin all NT?U21. Talent pipeline that has been built over the last few seasons.?

If I play a guard with high IS and low RB at the PF position on offense, are they matching up against the opposing PF for the rebound after a miss (provided that the opponent was playing m2m defense). If not, will you address this as a possible change for the GE so that such tactic will be heavily penalized.
