Not really a big deal long term. Will be able to boost to 79 at day 281.

No, you can make it up, but you will be 3 levels behind your entire career

You actually have the potential to improve upon your direct build, but you may miss out on some VA points one or two maybe.

Less VAs.

Less ALG benefits.

Probably some benefit from improved training percentages.

Overall I would think its less than perfect. Maybe not enough to retire though but I did retire my HB I made at the roll over and started too boost but back spaced for something and hit boost again and it was roll over.

I should have waited and VPB'd it out I guess.

Actually the positives outwiegh the negatives imo. You get better taining %'s for a longer period of time, you can almost always boost early if you want, and it not do any damage, and in the end i think you could end up with a better build overall.

And you wont always be 3 levels behind. Eventually it catches up a bit, as far as i know. A HB on one of my teams didnt boost from 1-4 (because he played peewee) and he is now level 66, instead of 68.

Because your ALGs are coming at lower caps. You are 18 SP behind the curve throughout the pre-plateau career. So there are going to be some times that you level where your ALG is being gained below a cap it would be over in a normal boosting dot. So that ALG is worth less SP.

Now some of that will be offset by training I imagine. You probably get enough training pre-season season 1 to get to 48 before level 1 I imagine.

But I doubt that would totally offset things throughout the build.

Think Mcfly! I mean seriously. If anything, the fact that you save 3 boosts until the end, it would make more sense to say that you make up any difference their could possibly be in that department. but truthfully, i dont think it makes any difference at all

I've done the math and used VPB to test.

The end build of my player was 3 SP higher when not boosting in the first offseason.
But he would also spend his entire career at a lower level and get less VA's.

Overall, I don't think its worth it.
But not boosting early definitely doesn't hurt the end build.

hmmm that's true, isn't it.

Guess I will have to experiment with this.

Not really.
You still end up at Lvl 73 on Day 281 and have to boost 6 times.

While there may be some overlap where the dot is only 2 levels behind, he will still spend the majority of his career 3 levels behind.

Thats interesting, you would think one way or the other would be more than 3 SP.

But the VAs is a potentially big deal.

How much was the shortfall?
