Hope you will enjoy the great food, games (both real and not) ... please enjoy the following gifts for the holidays!!!
* ONE (1) FREE POTENTIAL TALENT INCREASE ... FREE to increase to Fair, Average or Good. For any player 26 or older, you may increase a rating to Brilliant, however, instead of being free, it will cost 50 points.
* TWO (2) FREE SECONDARY TALENT INCREASES ... FREE to increase to D, C or B. For any player of any age, you may increase a rating to A (except in SP Duration), however, instead of being free, it will cost you 25 points each. NOTE: If you decide to use one of the freebies to get to a D or C rating, HAVE A THIRD FREEBIE, but only up to D or C rating.
* THREE (3) CHARACTER RATING INCREASES ... You can put these in any Team Leader Skills, Consistency or Clutch Performance for any number of players. NOTE: This means you can upgrade 1 rating to 3 different players or 3 upgrades in a single player, etc.)
Note, it does not matter if a player has had an increase before. There is no limit with these rewards.
OR, instead of the above, you could get:

Thanks Chris! Damn all my recent talent increases I paid for really limits my options for the big reward. Thankfully I have one good spect left to use it on.

* TWO (2) FREE SECONDARY TALENT INCREASES ... For any player of any age, you may increase a rating from B to A (except in SP Duration), however, instead of being free, it will cost you 25 points each. NOTE: If you decide to use one of the freebies to get to a D or C rating, HAVE A THIRD FREEBIE, but only up to D or C rating. what person would spend 25 points for what they can get for 15? btw can we do anything to increase velocity? |

They're free except for the ones you can't do regularly, which is primary talents to Brilliant and secondary talents to A. Those you have to pay for. The gift is that you get to be able to get to the top rating category.

I'm aware, my comment was on spending 25 points to go from d to c, but as it tuns out that doesn't cost points, so my question is null other than is there anyway to increase velocity |

Nothing to Velocity at the moment. To be honest, not sure how that impacts sim results but I am curious and then I can evaluate a pricing structure.

I edited the original post to make it clear that Fair/D, Average/C, Good/B increases are always free. Only Brilliant/A increases cost points.

RE: Holiday Rewards I'm going to save most of these, but if I'm battling for the playoffs, or in the playoffs, I probably shouldn't have a closer whose Clutch Performance "suffers". So please upgrade Tom Dukes to whatever level is above Suffers. Minimal? Normal? Thanks! normal. it only has 3 levels suffers/normal/clutch edit: and don't forget you have to spend them before opening day |

You can't do loyalty...just a friendly heads up I wonder why not Winning desire and loyalty just aren't things that you can upgrade. It wouldn't make sense to do that because increasing those particular categories would literally just give benefits for teams to sign and extend certain players and that just doesn't make sense. All the rewards in this league were inspired by BBSBL 3, which included TIC's that could increase consistency, clutch and team leadership. Winning desire and loyalty were never on the table and it just wouldn't make sense to increase those ratings just so players are easier to sign and extend. Part of the game is to see if those strong winning desires and minimal loyalties will have an effect on whether you sign or extend someone. |

Greg is new and isn't used to much of what goes on here. Sure, he could've read Chris' directions more thoroughly before posting, but he's new so it's understandable. But again, any increases to winning desire and loyalty would be absurd.

That I don't agree with either. In the past, any brilliant increases would only be for players that didn't already have a talent increase previously done, which is perfectly fair and I was very much in favor of it. Chris must have felt a little extra generous this time I guess, but yeah I was very surprised to see that any brilliant talent increase here can stack with previously done increases. |
