You boosted. Ruined the build imo. I boosted this season so i will be lvl 13 when i go into the capped league how is that ruined?
Because the point of not playing games is to maximize training gains. Boosting is the complete opposite. You gain 3 levels of experience without a single train in between. =Ruined. Your guy looks good compared to other normal builders his level, yes, but if you compared him to how he could have been if you didn't boost you'd cry.

Can you or someone else clarify? I thought the entire reason for slow build was so that compared to players of the same level you would have an advantage...what is this "could have been" suppose to mean? Sure i can slow build him for another season so that he would be lvl 13 at the end of season 7 join a team and be lvl 16 start of season 8, but the life span of a player is only 10 seasons. With that in mind I am almost certain boosting before the start of season 7 was the correct move if i am going to be on a team. Anyone help here?
You could have waited one more season and been level 12 with 4 days of training until level 13. (I've done the math, I'm doing the exact same thing with my players) If you'd have done that, you'd start on a team at 12, boost to 15 and be within one game's range of level 16. Not only would you start the season stronger because of a higher level, but your patience would have seen you gaining an additional 40 days worth of training - that's no small difference. You could have the same stats you do now except with strength soft capped and vision close, and higher stamina, ensuring that you get maximum snaps and your monster build helps the team more. I'm not saying your player sucks by any means, he'll still terrorize most of the teams you face I'm sure. I'm just saying you could have done it better... You went close, but not the whole distance.

True and a very valid point but we as agents each have to decided how many seasons we want to miss out on game exp, my goal was to take advantage of the leveling bonus for agility and speed, having gotten them to the 3rd cap was enough for me. Your plan would make your players beasts by the end of their 4th season good luck!
