It doesn't look like a good feature to add in at all. The only thing this does is basically further emphasize the BBs trying to tell us how to play the game. They dislike mono-skilled beasts so now they are trying to make it probably extremely difficult to make such players.

"Linked to unrelated skills"....meaning what? That if I have a 7'3 Center, his elastic effect is going to be hindered by his atrocious jump range and or handling?

I know the BBs have been preaching about making balanced players, but this is ridiculous.

Do you know how big this effect will be? No
Do you know it will slow down the training in a way that you'll even recognise it? No

Let's see how this change (I think it won't be very big) works out and then we can still critizise it.

We have both said a lot of things that you are going to regret.

there is also a theory that you teach skills, a bit away from the normal training ;) The cross training introduction, is quite mysterious and we should wait how it is realisied first.

Main thing I dont like about the recently introduced features, that I dont remember anyone would have asked for them - this counts for the majority of the changes made.

I think most of them have been discussed in the suggestion forum for some time.
1. People was complaining about tanking teams so they had the salary roof.
2. People was asking for better ways to train so they came up with cross training.
3. People was complaining about better protection of NT players so they made so all fired players end up on the TL.
4. People was complaining over that the best players(highest salary) was not used as the best players in BB. So they cut their salary a bit more then other players.
5. People was complaining about long time injury's so they made them go away under the off season.
6. People have been asking for more stats/ranking forever so they implemented some more.



1. no roof and the floor does not solve this problem
2. nobody knows how this will work and I predict it wont solve the problem
3. hooray
4. not solved, unless you consider the Iranian supervillains a sustainable squad
5. hooray
6. the ranking? thats no stat

I believe that everything that BB`s do are for the best interests of the game. After saying that what is the point of the corssing training? I believe that is "normalize" a bit more the game, if you tell me that in the real life there exists as many awesome players as there are in the game, then i would say ok thats a bad change, but as the BB´s try to make the game more realistic then they have my vote!.

Lemme just say, compared to some of the online sport manager games I play, the BB team is working somewhere near Warp 8.

Fantastic job. Could it be better? Sure. But I'll say it's the only one of these games I've considered even becoming a paying customer for. I haven't yet, but I stress the yet.

As for whether the cross training is going to ruin the game, it seems impossible to know until we have some idea of how extensive it will be.

What people don't realise or understand, is that it take a lot of time in coding and testing to make a big change. Who says the BB's are sitting in their homes doing nothing? Odds are they are in the process of making "the next big thing" so why not let the BB's release these simpler aesthetic features that take a fraction of the time to make. It doesn't mean they aren't working on the stuff we all will be thrilled about....

And even then their will be people complaining about how the big change sucks and is not what we need, and will be demanding another major thing. I mean the BB's announced a brand new training program, and 90% of the posts I've seen are pointing out the negative in it.

So my advice, and it's probably the advice a BB would give, is just to be patient. Changes will come....
