http://goallineblitz.com/game/player.pl?player_id=2432666 only 24 boosts???

Why so low?

Because they want everyone to boost 30 times, and 73 + 6 = the level cap of 79.

It looks right on spot, what's the problem? Next season you will get 3 boosts in the preseason and then the 3 plateau boosts, netting you to the maximum level (79).

What is the issue ?

Not wanting to end up at 73.149 (or whatever) for the XP trade-in and plateau training? I don't know.

Its called more money, now in order to get to 76 it will cost you more mioney

This is a total money grab. The caps make you use your flex instead of getting a few extra levels through XP.

good lord... Copied from my reply to the same post when it was in bugs http://goallineblitz.com/game/forum_thread.pl?thread_id=4950968

The boost/level cap is for any age player. As it happens people are going to run into it more and more (eventually all players that want to reach level 79 will as APD made players reach level 69ish)

The reason this is just starting to confuse people is that players made before APD was implemented required more boosts to reach lower levels (74ish) so had more boosts in already.

The funny thing about all this- it takes fewer boosts to reach level 79 now and in fewer seasons, and people are complaining that it's a money grab. I realize not everyone takes the time to think about how things work but it has been explained many times in various forums and has been laid out in the game changes forum since APD was implemented in S24 for all to view. You are getting a better deal out of APD than before. You get as many seasons of play time as you did before APD, but you get there faster and with less boosts. If you don't believe me just do the math. 3 boosts in creation season, 3 boosts for 10 seasons, plus maybe 6 plateau boosts to reach level 79. Thats 39 boosts for pre-APD at least.

Look at the XP list of players made in S15-22 or so. If you don't have one, ask someone how many boosts they needed to reach level 79. It's likely going to be more than 30.

It costs less now than it did pre APD.

This is true but if there were no cap, it would cost even less flex. By capping XP, they force you to use your flex.

I do see your point though that it is less than it used to be. My point is that it could have cost even less.

By that argument, the game could be free, if GLB wanted it to be.

In the end, when GLB mgmt decided to allow us to get our players to plateau quicker (which most people would agree is a good thing), they also decided that they needed to maintain a certain cost per player. This is a business, after all.

If Best Buy was having a 20% off sale, would people go in and gripe because it was not 30% off? It is cheaper now than it was before (even if only a little) and you get more time with a fully developed dot....

I just think the current system is a lot fairer for everyone......if you want your player to reach lvl 79 you HAVE to boost 30 times, this way everyone is guaranteed to finish at lvl 79 with approx 100 XP left over.....no exploits and no one is screwed over.

EDIT: And it's still cheaper

I will post links later, but I have quite a few dots the same age. Some of th stopped getting XP at lvl 71 and others have continued to gain XP...one of them even reached lvl 73. That confuses the hell out of me. I will be glad after this season I will not have to worry about this any more, all my younger dots where created post APD, and this is my last batch from before the new system was implemented.

30 boosts - Level 79
29 boosts - Level 78
28 boosts - Level 77
27 boosts - Level 76
26 boosts - Level 75
25 boosts - Level 74
24 boosts - Level 73
23 boosts - Level 72
22 boosts - Level 71
21 boosts - Level 70
20 boosts - Level 69
19 boosts - Level 68
18 boosts - Level 67
17 boosts - Level 66
16 boosts - Level 65
15 boosts - Level 64
14 boosts - Level 63
13 boosts - Level 62
12 boosts - Level 61
11 boosts and under - Level 60


If you stop at 71, then you have used 22 boosts. You will need to boost 8 more times to get to 79, which brings you to a total of 30 boosts. If you stop at 73, you have used 24 boosts. You will need to boost 6 more times to get to 79.

Its actually very simple and so long as you can boost the number of times needed to get to 79, then you will be exactly where everyone else is at plateau. The day that you stop getting XP is completely irrelevant. XP is not tied to TP, so you will still get the same number of TPs.

TL;DR - Unless you missed boosts, you will hit 79 by the time you use your last plateau boosts. No need to sweat it.

Only issue I have with it is not hitting lvl 72 this season. Being in regional pro as one of the younger teams, that extra level and the EQ upgrade that comes with it couldhave givin my team a slightly better chance of keeping the eventual playoff loss a little more competitive.

Is there anything to do with age with that chart? Because I have some level 64 dot's that have boosted more than what's listed and have 3 available now.

OH, and I have 2 dot's that were created a season later than my 68 that is stuck not getting exp that are now level 68 as well.
