While it sounds great, one major flaw that renders this suggestion useless - it's a pay2win mechanic.

People who don't have 2nd team couldn't train the same ammount you could.

So no.


I'm not sure I'd class it as a pay 2 win mechanic. It's more of a redistribution of resources and adds another element to the game.

Can you honestly say that this will result in an overwhelming advantage for those with a 2nd team?

I don't think it will have that big of an impact on the current structure. I see this creating more rookies being trained rather than ending up on the TL. Long term this will probably create an environment where we have higher average skilled players in the TL overall.

Also I believe could possibly see higher skilled U21 players in the future

This game is about managing 3 things I believe:

1) Time
2) Money
3) TSP

And you would be hacking the system, as you would simply get double the training value on Fridays. Yes, you would pay for it in money, but two teams tank twice as fast.

Sorry can you please explain this to me?

2 teams, with 3 games per week can only train a max 6 players each (in 2 position training) how does what I'm suggesting get you double the training value?

It's merely using your training slots in your 2nd team, for your first team.

Two team still train 12, not 6. While it is the case now, that's one of teh reasons you can't buy your players between teams (mostly to prevent cheating).

This would be a massive pay2win, because you could train the same guy in 1on1 for a couple of seasons in Utopia, then send him back to your first team.

I believe training adds complexity with sacrifices to the game and this suggestion takes it away.

To clarify: i have -300k in main team, but 3.4kk in Utopia.

I draft a player, send him to Utopia to train with 7/7 coaches, and send him back while still being broke in first team

I said 6 players each team.

As I said there can be rules put in place to mitigate any overwhelming advantage. Player can't participate in playoffs that season, or in the main team. This will make it that teams will use it purely for training players.

The whole premise is to treat the 2nd team as a development league (G-League). I really don't see the overwhelming advantage or "Pay 2 win" aspect you're talking about.

There's a lot of talk about how training players is expensive and becoming harder and harder to see benefits. Let's be real, with the current market you can easily pickup div II and III players for peanuts. So I believe we should be open to suggestions like mine (even if my suggestion is not taken).

I don't really think this is a good idea.
But if you would do it I think the main team needs to pay more like a development fee when the player is sent back which should be close to the amount that training him would have cost or the player would have cost if bought. But that might be hard to implement.

As I said before - if only Utopia users has this advantage it will be pay 2 win. You can flip it around all you want, it still pay 2 win. The only wqy this could be done (and I would love it) is if every user had the right to have second team for free

Just curious if you have ever wondered why you aren't able to buy players from your own Utopia team (and vice versa)? Could it possibly be because they wanted to prevent what you suggested here from happening?

Agreed somewhat. But with this suggestion you can put limits in place. And there would be no chance of transferring money between teams. I'd say that would have been the biggest factor in banning sales between 1st and 2nd teams, not the players themselves
