The cap is a soft cap, so technically you just keep training with diminished returns, right?

Check out the Ismael Grubbs guy...totally over-trained past his soft cap. I guess the owner didn't understand that player skills were capped. :-)

His owner isn't that, uh, bright.

I think it should be free. There are really lot of managers which doesnt know anything about anything.

It's a theri fault,you should not help them.There are the Help forums if the users want to learn the game

There are various types of people out there in various situations. I dont find as suprise that someone just want to play a game and pretty much doesnt want to talk about it, because most of the time it is about killing a lot of time, decryption of thoughts of other people and so on. I was in a similar situation, because once I played hattrick, I didnt know for a year about that there is any forum and in fact found it kind of weird that people share theirs emotions by this way.

One way or another, I think this site is about game in a first place, not about forum with a game.

dude you are kidding right?

you do know that anyone with potential allstar* is not the same as potential allstar?

How do you think to play well the game,if you don't try to know something about it?
And if you don't want to play well the game,why do you want to play?

you do know that anyone with potential allstar* is not the same as potential allstar?

i don't know it, and it don't make any sense to my especially because my allstar* player cap at allstar level and that the most allstars ain't above allstar level when introduce and if yes just slightly above.

I suppose that lot of people just rely on theirs instinct. You have some informations you can relly on, do some things and they work or dont work. If there isnt much information available, is easy to try think about some different combinations and try these.

Thats why is better to get usefull information once upon a time and try to think about them separately, therefore into deep. This is more fun than get every knowledge in one week, but in fact dont try anything by yourself, because you have a lot of points at once which you have to trust and while it hurts a brain, it takes a time before youll get what is right and whats wrong. Thats why I think lot of people just play a game and possibly rely on that they will figure it out by themselves. It is just more fun.

So.... what happened to the Soft-Cap??? Does it really exist???

What freak accidental event allowed these low-potentials to get these skills? And more important: How can I make this type of event happen for my own low-po's?

they had lot of extra seasons to train against the potential(lets say around 4-6 Seasons more training then an Allstar without the *), and more motivation to do it because at this moment lot of this monster was still important factors in their nationalteam.

Combine that with the different one skillup could make in a a C's salary and you know what happens.

Depending on your language abilities (or lack of them) not all the knowledge that the community provides and has discovered will find its way down to all the remote users (the ones we'd love to see stay in the game)

Fact is are we all not benefitting, almost cheating with the extra knowledge we gain from one another regarding formulas etc?

I know they aren't exact but the fact remains we have a 1 up on anyone unable to find this information within the forums. Overtime this game might not have enough substance to just logon and play and thats why a lot of old timers use feds / forums as an excuse to return back but for those where this is primarily a game then I feel it would be fair to share the information (official or unofficial) with everyone.

The staff powers are so ambiguous its untrue, why not add a heavily edited disclaimer on player training potential in the form of a report?

The concept of the national forums is to compare their own knowledge of the game with the other users without linguistic barriers.I don't think that in Japan,to make an example,there aren't users that doesn't know english language and can improve their knowledge through Global and English language forum.Then,if you have doubts you share the opinions you learn in the national forum to find what could be the right opinion.The Nt forum staff,can do the guidleins to train the players,and answering to the traineer's questions the knowledge can be improved among a larger number of person,that can start to share their knowledge creating friendhsip,rivalries and so on

I know you are making this kind of work in your national forum,but if other users doesn't show the will to learn things,if they are not curious about the game,they don't deserve to have a gratis knowledge
