NT games give experience, that is a fact.

I'm waiting for an answer on the injury front.



Well I have a player (almost ever present) that STILL shows up with not played enough games to give him any rankings.... (2439161)

I am not doubting the experience (as much as I used to!) but the extra must be miniscule to say the least..... but if a player (like above) is not being recognized in the system as having played enough games to get a ranking when he clearly has - does that mean somewhere along the lines he isnt being given any experience?

back onto the thread subject - the no injuries should go hand in hand with no exp or exp + injuries... i'd be up for denying my players the chance to play for their NT but cant ever seeing this getting off the ground...

With so many of the starting players having high random experiences vs recent drafts all starting out very low its hard to see the effect games have on exp...

IF we can figure out a formula which surely doesnt have to be kept a guarded secret (does it?) then we can move towards a solution where the trade off for having a NT player is fair should an injury occur.

I can add a small piece of evidence from my own roster.

A player of mine has played 2 1/2 seasons for me and 1 1/2 seasond as well for the NT of Mexico. I was in the fortunate situatoion that started with experience level 4 (!) but until some days there was no movement at all. He now is 5.

okay so it seems national players get experience form NT-matches.

what about the salary? is it still a plan from the BBs that those salaries will be paid by the NT. If so, when will this happen? I think it will be important to know this well ahead of time, so we can plan our steps.

e.g. I know from teams in lower leagues they are selling their NT-player, because they cant pay them anymore.


edit: sorry pallu. didnt mean to address this post to you

Last season, they made it pretty clear they would not refund salary, for they believe that being in the NT is enough a reward on its own.

Not really sure what they will do now. Might hear it from Juicepats, because he is trying to figure things out with the BB at the moment.

All BBs on vacation? ;-)

I am not sure but I believe it was officially announced that there is a refund for nt-players. if this is not anymore the case, why is this not officially announced???
Or did I miss the News on this topic?

I don't think it was oficially announced. Only speculated.

And I don't remember any BB saying NT games were played in arcade mode. In fact, I do remember that the whole suggestion about it being in arcade mode was due to some people heavily supporting that there shouldn't be salary refund. That if the problem was injury, then why not play in arcade mode, no refund, and everybody is okay.

And I'm sure this wasn't influenced by an official statement or whatever.

The whole interpretation problem of that thread has to do with what GM-Oeuftete said: GM's usually speak for themselves, and people tend to think there position is a BB position. GM's should be more clear as to when they're speaking for themselves and when there speaking as a GM. It's probably a bitch to be clear every post, but it is also a bitch for everyone else to have to separate GM from user without really being sure about where to draw the line.

if NT-Games plays at Arcade mode, can be the reason by the way experience doesn´t increase for NT-Players

Neither of those statements are true.

After almost 3 seasons I also haven´t seen any NT injury.

I also agree with many users that the increase of experience is really really low.

It may be considered low, but it 100% exists.
