Bingo!

Training will not be AS efficient , but ultimately will not be that big of a deal. Maybe 1 or 2 skill points total.

What is going to be tough is spending the $$ on Day 2 - instead of Day 34. If you have a bad season now you can hold off on boosting and save the $$.

On the positive side.. boosting teams will be playing with Level 4 dots. I hate the early part of the Pee Wee season so this will make it a little more bearable.

Overall, I'm disappointed though, I think the first season should finish at Level 15 unboosted, Level 18 boosted. This would give the teams/agents that don't want to spend a ton of money the option to boost 1 level and compete at L16 (get that 2nd set of Basic EQ) . I also think they should increase the amount of XP earned on Day 1 through 33.. and make Day 34-40 part of the offseason (in regards to XP). I want my dots fully cooked for the playoffs, it sucks we won't be able to use Level 16 EQ until Day 40.

Here is a copy of the numbers I ran. They presume that you start day 2 (Gold's 1st game) with 42 in your primary skill, and all level earned SP's are to be put into that skill. This also presumes that any training or SP's bought with BT's will be applied to other skills. And this presumes your primary skill gets a 0.5 Automatic Level Gain(ALG) per level and that happens before any SP's are applied. Also, with the new system, since all levels in PW get the SAME XP, the level days will be identical.

Boost on day 32, so after you hit level 12...
Level 1 = 42 primary skill.
Level 2 = 42.5 after ALG, 47.5 after 5 SP's.
Level 3 = 48 after ALG, 51 after 5 SP's.
Level 4 = 51.5 after ALG, 53.5 after 4 SP's, 1 SP saved for next level.
Level 5 = 54 after ALG, 57 after 6 SP's.
Level 6 = 57.5 after ALG, 59.5 after 4 SP's, 1 SP saved for next level.
Level 7 = 60 after ALG, 62 after 5 SP's, 1 SP saved for next level.
Level 8 = 62.5 after ALG, 64.5 after 6 SP's.
Level 9 = 65 after ALG, 66 after 3 SPs, 2 SP's saved for next level.
Level 10 = 66.5 after ALG, 68.5 after 6 SP's, 1 SP saved for next level.
Level 11 = 69 after ALG, 70 after 4 SP's, 3 SP's saved for next level.
Level 12 = 70.5 after ALG, 72.5 after 8 SP's.
3x Boost to level 15, 74 after ALG's, 77 after 15 SP's.
Ending skill level at level 15 is 77.

Now lets do it my way, which is to boost on day 2...
Level 1 = 42 primary skill
2x boost to level 3 = 43 after ALG, 51 after 10 SP's.
1x boost to level 4 = 51.5 after ALG, 53.5 after 4 SP's, 1 saved for next level.
Level 5 = 54 after ALG, 57 after 6 SP's.
Level 6 = 57.5 after ALG, 59.5 after 4 SP's, 1 saved for next level.
Level 7 = 60 after ALG, 62 after 5 SP's, 1 SP saved for next level.
Level 8 = 62.5 after ALG, 64.5 after 6 SP's.
Level 9 = 65 after ALG, 66 after 3 SPs, 2 SP's saved for next level.
Level 10 = 66.5 after ALG, 68.5 after 6 SP's, 1 SP saved for next level.
Level 11 = 69 after ALG, 70 after 4 SP's, 3 saved for next level.
Level 12 = 70.5 after ALG, 72.5 after 8 SP's.
Level 13 = 73 after ALG, 74 after 4 SP's, 1 saved for next level.
Level 14 = 74.5 after ALG, 75.5 after 5 SP's, 1 saved for next level.
Level 15 = 76 after ALG, 77 after 5 SP's, 1 left over.
Ending skill level at level 15 is 77 with 1 SP left over.

Thus if my calculations are correct, my method actually gives you 1 extra SP. If you see any math or logic errors, please speak up...

Remember that this is ONLY to show that there are no differences in ALG's as when to boost under the new system. I think everyone agrees that you lose a little in training when you boost early vs late, so that is NOT factored into this.

The most important part of this post is in Bold. The fact that Gerr used lose properly is amazing.

I believe junglejuice corrected him. Thus, one of the edits

I'll take credit for that....you're welcome, Gerr.
