It'd be a good way to reduce the amount of days that it's possible for new players to miss and still get right into the game. A way to do it would be to allow the person to boost 6 times if the player is created after day -8 during the first season if created before day 0. So essentially if you create in the pre-season you get 6 boosts, if you create after the pre-season you get 3 boosts.

The more there is an increase is relevant player creation the better off the game will be in the retention of new users.


EDIT: Potentially there would be an issue with training in order to alleviate this, itd take some extra coding but force the player to use a % of the TP's b4 boosting and a portion after....

would have to force use of those first 3 boosts before the start of the season or everyone would follow this method

Slow building??

This is definitely true.

+1 to the OP with all necessary adjustments and precautions to make it work without exploit and to fufill its porpoise of making dots of equal worth at any time from day -40 through day 0 inclusive.

Now it would be better for the teams you sign with to be in the post season. But still.

I think the big advantage of this happening is that teams now will have more opportunities to fill their rosters. As it is now, many teams find themselves short a player or two and a FA market devoid of what they need... then, once the season has passed day 0 and started, someone always seems to post "I'll cover that spot for you"... but it's too late and any dot built then would be behind the rest of the team's dots. For this reason alone I vote +1

(P.S. this suggestion also ties into one I saw earlier about allowing people to build dots to a level needed for extra flex cost. All costs would be accumulative... boosts, EQ... everything... to the level of the dot being built. And I suspect there should be a cutoff level... say maybe level 50.)
