For example, you would get 20 points to spend in rookie and 5 more points to spend every season after. Upgrade spending would automatically reset every season.

i like the concept, but why negatives? and i think the pluses are a little high

Because there have to be consequences. You want to add +3 Agility, Speed, and Strength to all your dots? Then you are also going to take a -6 Stamina/-3 Vision penalty on all your dots.

Plus the investment in both the practice field and the weight room would require a person to really pick and choose which areas that they want to train.

The numbers aren't that high and they are balanced by the negatives. I chose +3 for the attributes that are generally applicable and +5 for the situation specific ones. Sure, you can get +5 tackling on all your dots, but that also means that your QB will be getting +5 tackling/-3 Vision. Same thing goes with the Kicking and Punting increases. I might need to separate the throwing and catching bonus and make each like the kicking/punting.

training generally builds game stamina irl. i dont think you really need a negative because the limiting factor is the number of points to be used. think of it as team VAs, you want 5 things, but you only have enough for 3 or 4. decisions, decisions...

Yeah, it was more of an energy loss thing because you spent a bunch of time training and haven't rested. Yes it would actually build stamina, but you've got less in the tank due to using it for training.

It could be something akin to starting the game with less energy instead of less stamina.

Edit:

As to your other point, I think that having just positives makes the decision too easy. You need something to balance it out besides simple opportunity cost, because otherwise you are going to have every team stacking up in the same way without any penalty.

If you want a bonus without a penalty, that is available through the extras.

good idea but seriously +blocking and -strength why would people use that?

Is this a GLB1 or GLB2 suggestion?

Hopefully GLB 2

i don't expect someone to make a mmo based of football when they already made one and have them both with same attributes

There is cash in the game now?

+1 like the idea

Pass blocking teams. Teams that also have the "Free Weights - 10 Points = +3 Strength/-3 Vision on all players" (+5 Blocking, +2 Strength, -3 Vision)?

Looks kind of like Coaches type stuff.

Would need better balances. A -3 to stamina is pretty much nothing in comparison to a +3 to speed. Same concept with most of these but speed would be an obvious almost always use.

kinda. But the concept surrounding coaches was more intriguing and strategic. Bonus's surrounded certain formations rather than just give everyone +attribute all game for everything at the cost of stamina.
