Well those numbers are right only if you spent 40k/week every single week... Hope you didn't.

But yeah - I wouldn't count it as a loss neither. You have been in the game like forever. Besides it's kinda cool to be able to scout several full drafts thoroughly. Sad that it would still be hard to break even with today's prices.

Korea has corrupted me.

Would've been cool if you could scout the second nationality in Utopia. Guess you would've utilized those hunting korean-utopians every season.

Random question on 'Sublevels'. Do sublevels have any impact within the game engine or does it simply signal how close a player is to popping? Let's say I have a guy who is Respectable (level 7) in Inside Defense and I train him in ID for a week and he doesn't pop. From a sublevel standpoint he obviously increased ..... let's give it a number 7.6. Will he play the next week with fractionally better defense? Would a 7.6 ID play better than a 7.1? Or does Respectable just mean plain old respectable and that is how the game engine interprets it?

I ask the question for a couple reasons but I suppose it comes back to training and the pops. Are the pops to the next level more of an emotional feel good response? Like if my guy doesn't pop but I know he's close, do I really care if he's at a level say 7.9 rather than an 8.1 other than having the skill switch to Strong?

Obviously I realize a 'Strong' ID will have more value than a 'Respectable' should I list the player on the Transfer List, but if I plan to keep a player for the long-haul then that's a non-issue.

Promotion

I have read some of the posts regarding promotion, but I still have a question.

Division IV USA

It is early, but I think I can tell how the final standings will be. We will be Second in our division, but have the 5th best overall record in the league. The other division has the 3 best teams in it.

From the game manual: "the next best teams in your division will promote to fill in any Bot-controlled team spots in higher leagues." I think my confusion comes from conferences vs division vs league and how these terms are sometimes used interchangeably in posts.

So, in this scenario listed above would we be 4th or 5th in line to promote? And, I have not been paying that much attention to which teams have been promoting in past seasons as we have been moved around a bit in the realignments, so how many teams are usually promoting from Division IV.

Thanks

Training court

With a training court, does either the level of the staff trainer or the age of the player affect the training from the training court?

Thanks
