As I said, no single change will be made to the release of bot players, other than that they now will not get listed at $0 but at 10x the salary. The rate of release of bot players per country, and the requirements for bot players to release will continue to be the same as it was the past seasons. The players that didn't make the cut in the past season, still won't make the cut and thus will still retire.

This rule has an effect on all fired players that would normally directly retire, but now get listed. These players will now only retire if they didn't get a bid on the transferlist.

Ok, thanks for clarifying this again

so correct me if I got it wrong again ;-)
Bot players: only get listed if their better than a certain level (for 10x salary)
players fired by human managers: get listed no matter how good they are (for 10x salary)


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

exactly. Nothing changed in the way how bot players are listed, they are just listed at a different value.

Ok, will someone explain to me what exactly the new cross-training involves?

Finally, owners agreed to the player demand that trainers, some of whom haven’t changed their methods in over ten seasons, take a refresher course, bringing them up-to-date with the latest equipment and techniques. A particular emphasis of modern techniques seems to be cross-training, and by the start of season 17, we expect that just as improvement in one skill seems to be linked to related skills, now improvement in one skill will in addition be linked, more weakly, even to seemingly unrelated skills.

This is what we know about the change. I guess more details about this will be out this off season.


Great.

"more weakly linked to an unrelated skill" - so for 10 levels OD you will get 1 level blocking, or what?. That will totally change the whole system.

It seems that everytime you train a player, all his skills will improve (though obviously by a very small margin).
If that's true, maybe the increase in the skills you actually train will be lowered, otherwise we'll just see an inflation in players' skill levels.

Why are people looking at the prices on the low end?
Doesn't this mean that a 'farm team' trains up a guy (or looks after a player) whilst he is sitting on $400k salary - he then leaves the game and that guy then hits the TL at $4mil? If this is the case it should make the mid range players (sorry my mid range may differ from a lot so I'll just say $50-150k wage) more valuable?

I would expect this to allow people to detect farm teams easier and this will flush out the monsters of the game that are being built with alot of collusion by clever NT's. Now they have to keep physically listing them.

Gotta say was hoping for some upgrades/improvements.... nice idea but not edge of the seat stuff...
