ETA Update:

Quick update on this. I created a player to test out the theory of the TP/Training restrictions being put into place to thwart SB/SSB players. Tomorrow my guy will hit level 2 via rollover. I just signed him with a CPU team and spent my accumulated training points (80 total to date). Combined with %bonus unlocks and multi-training, this is where he sits as a level 1 Run Block Guard (still have 4 tp as well)

So while he was allowed to stockpile 80 TP because the TP cap was lifted for newly created players, someone who has yet to find a team in the off season is capped @ 14? I seriously don't think this is working as intended.

--------------------------




The penalty for not being signed immediately following a contract expiration is two-fold right now. A player can no longer train nor can they accumulate the "normal" 30 tp max. If I'm reading the description correctly, a player dropped on D41 of season X and picked up on D0 of Season X+1 can only accumulate 14 training points but there are 34 total training points available. (D41-D48 + D -8 - D0) - 17 days worth.

I can understand being unable to train due to lack of facility but not being able to store points is lost on me. 20 training points is a significant loss at any level but especially for younger players who find their team disbanded by surprise.

There's already been an adjustment to beginning training points, in the spirit of making sure there's "fairness" no matter when a player is created

so why not modify training point accumulation in the same fashion in the spirit of making things fair no matter when a player signs to a new team?

Or, you could sign with a CPU team to train, whilst looking for a new team.

You can train while not on a team during the off season/pre-season so there shouldn't be any reason to stockpile points unless you're going on vacation or something. in which case you can set up auto training to use up the points while you are away.

So don't really see the need for this, -1

I cannot train right now. I haven't been able to since D41. I've also lost TP above 14 and am stuck capped, unable to train. Are you saying this is a bug?

Get a contract from a CPU team, mate. You can still move freely to a human team, but it will let you train.

Have you been stockpiling points for awhile?

I'm not sure if something changed, i have trained in the 40-48 day time frame (did just this past off season) but i see what you mean for right now. I created a player and get the you cannot train message. It's possible i never let my guy sit around this far into the pre-season not on a team.

They may have done that to get people to join teams quicker but i'd be for allowing people to train while not on a team during the pre-season as well as the off season.

So i'll change to a +1 for either allowing the 30 point cap (though this doesn't help people who create players now since they still can't train and the guy i created has 32 TP) or allowing training at least to the start of the season while not on a team.

232d old. haven't been stockpiling but was around 20ish on d40. didn't think anything of it since I thought we could train in the off season. kinda screwed his end eq situation and realized how debilitating this would be for a d40-d120 player.

eta: and just signed with a CPU but really shouldn't be needed if this was modified.

Curious about TP disappearing. Think I'll create one too and see if it drops to 14 tomorrow. Surely that wasn't Bort's intention when he balanced TP on new players. Kinda pointless to hand out 32 and wipe it clean the next day.

you have to be on a team to train between the negative days and day 40.

created a test player who got 32 as well. wanted to see if it would drop to 14 today but it actually went up to 34. still can't spend any though...

i think it drops on day 1 to 14

The Training point cap is ungood. At least during the offseason.

+1. During the preseason players who have yet to find a team should still be able to train.

-1 The training point cap for players not on a team was put in to close the SSB exploit. Sign with a CPU team to train, or plan on being on a roster by day 48.

is there really a reason not to at least be on a cpu team once the preseason starts?
