Hey all!! 2 Questions!!

1: Im in DV.16 and made it to the championship game but lost. I've heard and seen mixed things, I know it depends on bots in D4, does anyone have any idea what my chances are to advance this year? aka what is the current bot situation?

2. I've had several players lose a point when training. To your knowledge, can they gain the point they lost back, or a loss of skill mean that your player will continuously start going down, in that skill?

Thanks for the help!

1. It's possible, but not likely you will promote. All of the teams that are 22-0, 21-1, 20-2, & 19-3 with a better Point Differential than your team will get those open spots before your team does. Without going through and checking each league, it's tough to know...so it's possible, but i would have to think that your record wouldn't be quite good enough to promote without winning the championships.

2. Players may start dropping in ratings once they hit 32 years of age....you can get those ratings back, but because of how slow a player trains as they age, within a week to 4 weeks of gaining that rating back, they will lose it again. It's not advised to have older players as part of your training program.

Thank you!!

One more Question, probably a dumb one but hey im still learning. How do I exclude a player from my training program? I have a 33yr old Point Guard I wanna keep for another season or two and a 21yr old rookie PG I would love to keep training...my fear is, saying they train together, my rookie improves and my starter decreases. And obviously at this point and time my starter is going to play more minutes. Can i prevent my old guy from training?Thoughts? Help? Input? Ideas?

Thanks Again!!

Either play him at SG or sell him and buy another young PG so you can train them together

So if i play my backup PG as a SG he will train with the SGs? Even though he is listed as a PG?

Whatever spot you are training your players at is where they will be trained. Their suggested position means nothing. You can play a Center at the SG spot and he would get SG training if that's what you are doing (Training SG's).
