Cut training time directly in half and watch the interest in the game grow.

That will make the game too much fun. Can't you at least limit it to something like "training speed is cut in half, but you can't take advantage of the players' skills increases until the salary update the next season?"

This works! However, every Friday morning your salaries would update throughout the season. Instead of limiting the testing to PL's however, we should test on GM teams during league play.

Imagine if training speed was halved but you were to implement dynamic speed training? Sneaky

It should be possible to build your own team through the draft and development and not required to rely on free agency in order to compete. Easily the biggest road block in managers staying long term.

100% agree with your argumentation, it takes way too long to train a player.

18-> around 22 should be boosted.
23-> above should be reduced. (or everybody will continue to train till 26)

What is the top priority to fix the game

So I think lots of people will believe that the Game Engine needs changing. LI too dominant still, not enough variety with tactics etc, and the slight changes that the BB's have made to JR and SB salary, new tactics, GDP etc have not resolved this.

So, i personally do not believe the Game engine is broken.

HOWEVER - I think the most important thing to 'fix' BB (ie: Resolve peoples issue with the game engine) is to provide people with adequate evidence that the GE ISNT broken.
a BB coming out and saying 'Use more SB' is not adequate evidence.

Maybe what the BB's could do, is run their own Private League using non-in game players, and show us how different tactics can be countered by players of different skill sets, and in general, give evidence to show that the game engine itself is not the problem.

I believe that once people have a valid league or set of games or set of real game and player info which proves that certain tactics can be countered (consistently) and that there are better options than just LI all the time, then this will result in the BIGGEST shift in the way the game is played.

For an app to be successful, it would need to be marketed.

Actually, not really. It would be enough if the current users downloaded app. On android this would put it on top of the popular downloads fairly quickly.

yes absolutely 100% agreed. Its interesting to find these results, and then to see how few people have commented on them, or the fact that they are so hard to find. SOME users listen - I feel like the overall community does not listen to this info. so yer agreed.

The argument of 'the GE is broken' I feel, would be quickly shut down if there was a permanent set of results that could be referenced by the user community, where the results that was produced by BB's.

This isn't unique to buzzerbeater. No matter what people do there seems to be a perceived wisdom that is hard to contradict. Here, the loudest voices dominate the forums. And they have no interest in a view that doesn't fit their own. And people believe them because its easier to just assume the dominant position in an argument is the correct one.

People don't believe the truth even if you hit them in the face with it. You'll still get people saying "well that doesn't really fit with the one game I've looked at, not all the conditions of the test were exactly what I felt they should have been, it would have been better with LI even though you're telling me I'm wrong and showing me thousands of games where I'm clearly wrong.
