Training
- Game Shape training diminishes for every time it was used in the past 4 weeks. This resets every season.
- The gym gives you 1, 2, or 3 more cross training slots based on level.
- Ball handling trains HA, DR, and a little bit of OD.
- The training seen on the home screen is rounded (46.50-47.49 will show as 47). 47.00+ is full training.
- There is no cap to elastics benefits (ex: 22 HA helps more than 20 HA) and the returns above 20 are not diminishing
- 18 and 19 year olds whose minutes are out of 45: 94.7% training at 43.8 minutes and 93.4% training at 43.5 minutes

Miscellaneous
- Taping injuries can heal all injuries in-game whether they are permanent or not.
- Fan Survey is normalized across the rest of your league. Therefore, how good your attendance makes is based on the league average fan survey and not your individual rating.
- Fan Survey: Player Role (Draws a paycheck, Regular Starter, etc...) does not impact fan survey
- Fan Survey: I am familiar with the star players, and am not afraid that they will be transferred is based on # of transfers per season and average tenure of your players.
- Fan Survey: TV games and Rival games have the same impact on fan survey.
- National Team merchandise is given so long as they are on the 12 active players set on a lineup. This merchandise is a percentage of their salary.
- Merchandise store is not impacted by your players. It is a flat increase
- Bot teams are not included in league averages
- Box Score points per 100 possessions statistic: Shot quality is calculated before calculating whether there was a foul, altered shot, or block. So those are not reflected in that stat specifically.
- All-Star Voting: A player is only qualified for 1 position. That position is the most minutes he played in league games this season. One of the biggest factors in voting is rating. A player only needs 1 game to qualify for voting.
- Merchandise: If a player doesn't qualify for League Rankings because of # of league games, it will impact your merchandise.

This is gold.

A little confession: I had one document called "BB-Justin posts" where I was putting together all relevant info I found in his posts, but it doesn't even contain 20% of what you collected.

Thanks a lot!

You're very welcome!

I noticed, you, me, and just about every top manager was all making lists like these and I figured it would be easier if we all had access to it and worked on it together!

Also, I don't think I got a chance to tell you personally but I really enjoyed the podcast you did with EBW. Listened through it all and it's amazing to hear how a BB genius navigates B3 and team management. I never knew that you were made to choose a team between Utopia and your main to compete each season either haha.

Best of luck to you this season and I pray that for my sake we do not meet in B3

It's been recently changed to allow a bit more leniency. 18 and 19 year olds are 45 minutes+ now as well.

Of course, yeah that updates been taken real well by the community.

Just FYI, in the recent news post they announced that players 27 years old and above will only need 40 minutes of training starting next season. This is because exhaustion is being implemented in all league matches and it only impacts players of that age group.

You’re welcome! And yes I did get a BB’s permission to post this. I’m in close contact with a few of them.

It is a shift from what’s been going on but with new BB’s providing more information and being more active with the game; we will be getting much more information, announcements, and updates in the following seasons.

Thanks for those words, mate! I also enjoyed yours and learned a lot from it.

I've checked my doc and I found a couple of extra points:

- Fast tactics consume stamina faster. Slow tactics consume stamina slower.

- The current GE considers only the level of the starting player and his stamina, not the substitute.
