What would you like to change about training? Worth more? Cost less? I don't want to hand out too much tpe every season and then have to change the update scale or pull back the TPE handed out in the future.

Should media be worth more money? If your contract isn't covering enough cost for training that could also be a potential solution. I'm open to discussing what you guys think here.

I put a solid hour or so into researching prospects and stuff for the mock draft one, and earned 1 TPE on a lucky guess on a 2nd rounder. It doesn't have to be a ton, but it was a little disheartening to bust my ass for 1 TPE and watch all the GMs get 4 because they had already talked and had more ideas what was actually going to happen on draft night.  I get that GMs should have some perks because they are putting in a lot of hard work too, but it's just how I felt at the time.

For some of the easier point tasks, participation TPE might not be required.  The Week One Predictions for example, can be done in 20 seconds.  It would be kind of silly to reward much participation TPE for something that easy.

I don't know how realistic it is, but a lot of the recent Point Tasks have been related to lucky guesses (Mock Draft, Preseason Leaders, etc).  Is it possible to do more Point Tasks like the draft profile?  200 word minimum is fairly easy to achieve and the 3 TPE payout was quite nice.


As for the trainings, I think they may be in a pretty good spot, with some tweaks that could be done to be better.  I can dig not wanting too much of a power creep in the game, where we get too good too fast.  I can also see the training being a little on the spendy side as it is right now.  A lot of our player contracts seem to be in the 1-3 million range, which will buy 1-3 weekly trainings, leaving 2 weeks per season you have to earn yourself. 

Personally, I find it easy to write a novel about little things (exhibit A: this response), making it easy for me to earn that and more through media articles.  However, I can understand not everybody finds that as easy as me, and not everybody has as much time as me (recent grad on a job search at the moment).  Making it either pay more for media or cost less for training would make it seem less of a hassle for people I think. Increased rewards = increased submissions (usually, though it might create a need for more graders again).

In the current model:
Weekly TPE
Activity Check: +2
Weekly Training: +3
Random Other Point Tasks: +4 (arbitrary estimated number based off the ones posted so far)
Total: +9 TPE per real life week

Seasonly TPE
Training Camp: +10
Equipment/Coaches: +26
Total: 36 TPE per season

Let's say a season takes 6 weeks.
9 Per week * 6 weeks = 54 TPE
Seasonly TPE = 36
Total per season = 54 + 36 = 90

Now 1156 / 90 = 12.8 seasons

It will take me roughly 13 seasons to max my player.

Not sure if that's how it was intended or not, or if there will be more rewarding PTs or anything else planned.  15 seasons to max a player seems like a lot though.

(Edit: forgot activity checks)

But as a waiver player you can't really do anything to 'compete' and improve your player ahead of the draft without any form of training or actual waiver system. At least to my knowledge nobody publically made a formal announcement that I was acquired by the hawks, there wasn’t a waiver thread ect. Not to mention in the Bank ledger I’m not even listed as part of the team. It’s like I don’t exist until S2? If that’s the case what’s the point in sticking around? Am I angry – not really, but a little more organization is sorely needed.
