Will this work once the players are 280 days?

"After 280 days old, all players are treated as if they are the same age."

So, no, since it only works against older players.

Yeah... one reason I've never considered using CI is that it becomes worthless (if it wasn't already).

Isn't that clever

Well, it could be useful for a player that was, say, created on Day 1 for some random reason, such as filling a last-second hole on a Rookie team. A dot like that is going to be at a disadvantage, but CI would at least help to lessen that gap until that Day-1-dot reaches Plateau, at which point you reset Clever Instincts for something more useful.

But how often does that scenario happen? Not very often.

It is useful if you have a dot on a team playing in a pro league with a mix of different levels of teams. This often happens in regional pros where there are L68 to L79 players. I have used CI in this instance on a eHB or a QB.

I built a QB just for this, but I didn't get the fake chance AEQ high enough and I didn't use enough agility.

Loaded up SAs in the minors because I planned to retire by the time CI wore off.

Was never very good.

Yeah, I guess that's true. But you'd have to blow your VA reset at the beginning of the season just to put 15 points into Clever Instincts, and then blow your VA reset again at the end of the season just to get the points out of it when your dot hits 280 days old. Seems like a lot of trouble just to use a VA for one season.

You should sell your cleverness and buy bewilderment

Plus day 1 misses a lot of trainings , the retro-active ends on day 1 if I am not mistaken

Yeah... if I'm gonna walk that road then I'd rather have second wind instead of CI.

I forgot CI even existed until I looked at this thread.

i experimented with this in last cycle of RLU (non-boosting league). built 6 dots on Day 1 rather than Day 40.

worked good for QBs, only so-so for WRs, HBs and KR/PR

Pump fake fired A LOT.

the planned run of the league was only 7 or 8 seasons, so wasnt worried about the post 280 days issue.

in that situation it was worthwhile, but probably doesnt apply to most dot building
