Thanks man. I don't see to often when I don't get a pop in 1v1 but I know it happens. I need to get his DR up and will worry about FTs later.

For example your player with 7 potential can be anywhere between 7.0 and 7.9


I'm sorry but this is wrong....There are NO sublevels on Potential. .A MVP is the same as every MVP. All potentials have soft caps(where training slows down). An MVP spoftcap starts where all MVP softcaps start.
Second forum thread I found that you made a mistake and passed on wrong info. Wow!! And you got crazy balls!!

B.B.King:
I prefer to use Potential Score instead of two numbers for cap range.
This value shows how many potential was used and it's easy and intuitive to see how many potential remain to train.
(http://bbtools.x10.mx/potencjal/)
For example potential = allstar means that player should be capped when Potential Score is between 6,00 - 6,99 (depending on sublevels of potential). For other levels of potential it works analogical.


rhyminsimon:
So there are two things that pertain to your question:
1) there are sublevels of potential and
2) a player doesn't have a cap really, just a point at which training slows down.


Saw this in another thread. These people seems to believe that there are sublevels for potential, as do many other people who replied on the thread. Feel free to look up the thread "Buzzer-Manager/Training calculator/cap". It talks about it a bit. Maybe I misunderstood it, or some of the messages, but this to me made me believe that their are sub levels of potential. Maybe someone else can chime in on this thread and let both of us know.

I have always been told that Potential and staff levels have no sublevels.

So you are wrong. Because potential has sublevels ;)

Sorry....I stand by my opinion. Potential has a soft cap and a hard cap which is proven.
potentials having sub-levels is speculation by some members of this game. It is not proven. Until a BB says other wise....Sub-levels on potential will be filed with UFOs and Santa Claus.

There is nothing wrong with training a player over 24 provided they already have good skills and havn't reached their potential. Of course training will be slower but given the right circumstances it can be worthwhile.

Good point Dude.

I have some good trainees right now so I'm glad to hear that.

Training past 24 is worth it only if you have a player who was trained well, and they have space left to be trained (You don't stop training a HOF at 24 if he's been trained well in prior years)

People are starting to think that there are sublevels to potential, and cap ranges for potential.

At first you could say the reason why people with the same potential cap at different skill levels is because they have higher sublevels in their other skills.

Now I don't know exactly what the process is when people do their studies by crowdsourcing all the training information, however, through this information you could probably find that people with similar skill levels (and sublevels) capped at different skill levels. This leads to the debate as to there being a cap range (i.e. anywhere between 20-22) which indicates there could be sublevels.

Well we can agree to disagree then, however I do not appreciate you bashing my thoughts on the matter, when you could be/are the one that is wrong.
