Reward Points Spending

[CSCommish]

I have updated the PD Reversal system to also include the "credit" for first round players selected. It now reads as:

PD Reversal
- Each player begins with a bank of 25 Reversal Points.
- Must be completed within 90 sim days of player development hit.
- Reward Point Cost: [Age] - [15 + Draft Points] + [Reversal Points], Minimum 5 pts.

Draft Points
- 5 pts if player is selected in the first round until said player reaches the major leagues, otherwise 0 pts.

Reversal Points
- Cost to reverse from E/Poor to D/Fair = 2 pts
- Cost to reverse from D/Fair to C/Average = 3 pts
- Cost to reverse from C/Average to B/Good = 4 pts
- Cost to reverse from B/Good to A/Brilliant = 5 pts



I have simplified the system to increase secondary talents, but limited the categories to which they can be made. It now reads as:

Secondary Talent
- Up to a total of two (2) talent increases may be made in a player's career.
- May increase SP/RP Duration, Running Speed, Stealing Ability, Defensive Range, Outfield/Catcher Arm.
- Cost to increase from E to D: 15 pts
- Cost to increase from D to C: 20 pts
- Cost to increase from C to B: 25 pts
- Cost to increase SP Duration: Additional 5 pts

Confusing.

What went away in the secondary talents?

Also, how will the reversals be dealt with in terms of players that have already had them done under the old system?

Looks like pitchers holding runners and sacrifice/squeeze bunts for hitters are gone, but it's not like anyone spends points of them anyway

And maybe fielding percentage? That one was pretty useful, though rarely used.

Not confusing =)

I removed the ability to bump Holding Runners, Bunting, etc because no one used them. Instead, I am focusing on the oft-used categories. Plus I want to be consistent and utilize the ladder system. It used to cost 25 points to increase duration from E to D, now it's 20. But to get it from C to B, it will be 30.

This weekend, I intend to review all of the PD reversals and convert each player's #/5 system to the #/25 point system. All other Potential or Secondary Talent increases will be left alone.

Oh yeah forgot about that. Should be included for sure.

Can we get the fielding % back please?

[CSCommish]

I'll think about it...

Has anyone ever used it?

Not sure, but I know I've thought about it, and it would probably be something I used going forward.  There are some players that are downright terrible defenders coming out of the drafts. 

Even if it isn't used, I think we can all agree it would be useful for certain players.  Nobody wants to trot out a SS that fields at .950, I wouldn't think.

I think there are a lot of secondary talents that haven't been used much, that Chris kept as options.  Arm strength?

I'd definitely consider it for the right player as long as I've got enough points left over for other shit
