Are all ages getting an increase?

I still don't understand this rule change. If existing bot teams will stay as they are (ie keep players with salaries above $4500) , what is the change going to be? From bot teams generated in the future?

Also, It seems like the creators want people to augment their economies by the sale of trainees. But it also seems like these trainees will take awhile to train adequately to make any money (6 categories for perimeter players, 4 for inside players) .

I am fairly new to this game (august), but after coming from hattrick, i still don't quite exactly get how the economy of this game works and how the game engine works. I'm sure i'm showing my inexperience/lack of knowledge here, so i apologize in advance for asking what might be a dumb question.

If a team goes bankrupt, the manager quits, or the manager is banned, players on his team with salaries over $4500 will be released.

That's why training is being sped up for younger players.

gotcha. thanks for the explanation for us remedial kids.

6) Because of the potential surprise at the new, higher prices associated with the higher rate of training, wages will update twice per season for the next few seasons, once at the all-star break and the other in the offseason. The first such update will occur after the all-star break this season

Umm, let me get this straight. So, the salary my player is at now is going to be "renegotiated" at the All Star break? What, does Drew Rosenhaus represent ALL my players? They get a little training during the first half of the season and everyone decides they need a little more somethin, somethin??

OK, I get the reasoning, I get that it may be better to have a two wage adjustments so you don't get slammed in the offseason, BUT, the offseason is when you make adjustments. I don't want to have to sell off guys because I can't afford them within the current season!!! That just doesn't make sense........I would just like to hear some additional logic behind this change.
Thanks.

Will BB make sure that the high-salary free agents get sold before they disappear as part of a bot replacement? In HT, they have a similar program - limited to NT players. There have been problems when a team goes bot, a player is TL'ed and then his team was replaced. So maybe if these players can exist without a team (that is they really are FA) until they are sold.

Will any of the high salary player protection be retroactive? That is, if a team became a bot a week ago, and hasn't yet been given a new owner, will any high salary players be rescued? Are these teams distinguishible from true bots?

I just suggest that you could creat FREE AGENTS bot team that would be grate opotunity for new and old teams if some one fire player which would be real power for other teams also when bot team gets owner those players could be transferd into FREE AGENTS team and sold from there.


And also all that maney could be used for maybe some kind of awards or all NTs budget for NT players salary coverege by equal grant for all.

well as any major modification many questions have arisen, but I have no doubt the BB's will do a great job answering them and fixing the eventual new issues.

I am not sure I understood correctly what is said about training handling and driving at the same time (since they are very close skills).
If I understood correctly this means that you might wake up on a Friday and see that one of your players has an arrow in both categories, or did I miss something?

More or less, based on what the News item stated:

Driving and handling are very, very similar skills, and training either one will now also result in about 80% of training on the other.
