Stop LCD & blanks + Improve current subs options
It seems that this will be solved soon.
True for only half of it. And even for the first half it all boils down to Marin making it work this season after he said the results were not satisfactory last season.
Balance strengths of strategies&costs (or prove=)
It's up to us to make the strategies work. Not everything is BBs fault. Mostly it's our fault because we tend to go the easiest way and stay on those roads that already are well travelled.
Ultimately very few people play this game to experiment with extreme/very unconventional solutions...we could try to clone Nachtmahr a few times perhaps. When you talk about "the easiest way" you effectively describe the problem. Winning with some setups is easier (players to build are easier to create) or cheaper (players cost less) or both. In this respect there will always be an optimal solution, however at the moment the best set up considering both easy+cheap seems to be significantly more efficient than the second best.
No. If someone wants to train game shape for ages - it should be up to him. He'll not have much fun on Friday's trainingupdate. This is a tradeoff like many others in this game.
Most people are asking to reduce the effectiveness, not completely removing it from the game.
BB players already train at really high speed if you compare BB with e.g. Hattrick. I don't think training speed should be increased further. It will only produce more capped players and more players that noone can afford in the long term.
Hattrick has a liquid transfer market and you can get a lot of trainees per season from your youth academy (roughly equal to receiving 6/7 draftees). The training speed there is offset by the fact that you can find a lot of mid-point-trained players at market prices, which is not the case here.
I don't think anybody mentioned it before, but Karangula's points made me wonder what people think about
increasing the number of draftees to 4? I know they changed the 19yo draftees already, but this would help further without changing much at all (only the overall quality of retained draftees will improve though, the will still be randomly generated though). Or maybe give more trainees to smaller nations, like micronations, to slightly compensate for their lack of users? No idea just throwing random suggestions out there.
