I agree. I had a manager fire a 19yr old Superstar just because he was 19. The dude had good starting skills. His only flaw was that he was 19.

Yes, that was exactly the main point of this change.

You draft 19yo players with a bigger risk - either it's complete garbage, or it's better than 18yo. And it's not even a real 50/50, since most of the 19yo will still be worse than 18yo.

Having 5 uncatchable 19yo per draft is completely fine.

And a free alternative? Do you even comprehend what you're saying? Those 19y olds will cost a lot more than the 18 year olds.

And competetiveness? Excuse me? The market is empty as hell, and even garbage 22yolds cost 1kk+. The more people train, the better for the competetive aspect of the game.

You have given a training simmulation, which does not contribute to this discussion in any way shape or form.

I repeat once again - your case can only be made knowing how many above average 19 year olds we can expect. Can your "calculations" answer this question? No. Case closed due to lack of supporting evidence.

I welcome the change since the current situation favors 18 year olds.
What is the problem with 18 years olds being favored? Is it some kind of social discrimination based on age that bothers people, or what? I remember you all that BB players are not real human beings.

So now it is 19 years olds who are going to be favored. Let's get 18 years olds a bit higher. Next season we will have to compensate again in favour of 19 years old. Then we have the potential shortage, we will need higher potentials. And then let's "improve" draftees again and so on and so on...

And new BBs always do what all these ignorant managers ask for, so let's implement all this so everybody is happy. And even some more skills boosts for good measure.

I cannot imagine a better way to finally driving this game to quick extinction.
