My annoyance with the change is just that it's unclear, so maybe that can actually be solved.

"A particularly well-rounded player will continue to receive cross-training but will see a much lower reduction in primary skill training, while a particularly one-dimensional player will see a larger loss."

Does that mean that a particularly one-dimensional player will see a larger loss *even* if trying to train a skill which he is bad at? Or does it just mean that he'll see a larger loss when he's training the skill(s) he's already especially over-trained in? I'm presuming the latter, but that's not what was actually stated.

I think you can safely assume this as it's pretty obvious, but yeah I guess it could have been explained better. For those who didn't already know about the elastic effect, I understand why it would be confusing when trying to understand.

Please stop saying that everybody is unhappy about this change.


I won't say that everyone is unhappy with. I will say that 73% of the respondents who had an opinion in this poll dislike it, though.

Anyhow, life goes on.

61%. You might need some one position math training...

Go read the news again. The 10% that might be taken from a player's primary skill will be distributed to other areas. -10% +10% = no change.

I disagree. There will always be teams willing to train U21 players.

So, the next time you go to a food market and the seller puts some potatoes in your tomatoes you will not complain.

From my perspective this game has already enough randomness. I think that, if the BBs wanted to achieve the same effect they could have simply made more substantial and maybe also wider the effect of training secondary skills, maybe adding more reasonable side effects (JS - JR -> FT).

I choose my own vegetables at the market.

What that has to do with my last post is very difficult for me to figure out.

I agree that JS training should train FT. I also see the validity of people improving in handling skills while they train JS, or SB when they train 1v1. Practicing basketball is not, or shouldn't be, about improving one skill. The majority of modern basketball drills incorporate many skills.

Similarly I'd like to choose what to train. Simple as that.

This is a popular opinion, but nothing could be farther than the truth.

BB has a lot less randomness than real basketball.


I'm not talking about realism, I didn't mean to say that BB is more random that reality.
I'm talking about BB as a game, as a manager game. IMHO BB has already enough randomness. In fact I do not criticize the fact that this innovation is not realistic, it's a game, it's an oversimplification of reality meant to be fun. That's the point: I don't think that this innovation improves my gaming experience.

While that is a totally valid opinion, I find it interesting that you have formed it without even experiencing the change yet. Very open-minded of you.
