This Q & A session is for questions regarding the Game Changes only. We'll have a full Q & A at the end of May sometime. This Q & A is only going to be for one hour, maybe 90 minutes if there are a lot of questions to answer. It'll operate the same as all Q & A discussion sessions normally do. I'll let people post questions, lock the thread so that I can answer them, and then unlock so more people can post questions. This discussion is not to voice complaints that you might have about the changes, it is to solely ask questions about how the changes work and are going to be implemented.

The following were a few questions submitted via e-mail that I wanted to answer (some people sent in non Game Change questions - you will need to resend those for the next Q & A session):

I am unclear as to whether the equipment changes mean that there is a limit of two pieces of equipment per body part (whether regular or advanced) or whether it means a player can have 2 pieces of regular equipment on a body part but then on top of that stack one (or more) pieces of advanced equipment and so get the bonuses from all 3 or more pieces of equipment??

Every player will be limited to two pieces of regular EQ per body part. AEQ will not be limited. You can only get bonuses from one piece (AEQ or regular) at any one time. It's up to you which piece you choose to wear.

According to the announcement on 4/26 by Catch22, "you should make sure that you have two pieces of regular EQ for every body part for each of your players before day 41/42". This is obviously because regular EQ will require bonus tokens to purchase after the changes. Will these same pieces also require bonus tokens to upgrade? If yes, I assume it would be beneficial to fully upgrade this second set of regular EQ before the changes, if possible?

Regular EQ will not cost anything to upgrade. AEQ will cost 24 bonus tokens to upgrade.

If I have 20 BT, they will triple to 60 when the new system rolls out. If I have 2 pieces of AEQ in one slot, will it still cost me 4 BT to move it to another slot, then the 56 BT left over will allow me to upgrade it 8 times? Or will this number change to move it?

Everything in the new system is being converted at a 3:1 ratio. It will cost 12 bonus tokens to convert a piece of AEQ to a different body part and it will cost 24 bonus tokens to upgrade a piece of AEQ a level.

After a dot reaches 400 days old, they reach a plateau and then decline. What happens to coaches after 20 seasons, do they decline, retire, or just reach a point where nothing changes?

Coaches do not decline but they do reach a plateau point where they can no longer gain experience. In addition, they have a level cap that they can not exceed. Once a coach has completed 20 seasons (800 days old), they will be forced to retire.

How is the new shopping system going to work?

If a player has 50 shopping tokens saved, will the store still look the same when he spends this?

Likely going to get rid of shopping tokens and just use bonus tokens to get shopping trips (eliminate an unneeded form of currency and unnecessary step to purchase shopping tokens with bonus tokens). Bort's figuring out how he wants to work it. If we do this, people who have shopping tokens saved will be able to convert them to bonus tokens (at an equivalent ratio).

What are your plans about improving the sim? What type of timeline do you have to improve Blocking? Special teams, and QB reads?

Not really related to the Game Changes and tbh I don't know the answer as that's something DD recently brought up and there hasn't been much discussion about it amongst the Admins - I think DD wanted to see what people thought and move on from there. I doubt there would be a restructuring this off season, it'd probably wait until we introduced the Hardcore League.

You are able to train Coaches similar to players, but will Coaches have Bonus Tokens?

As player for cash trades will no longer be allowed, what will replace it? Or will player for player be the only option?

Most of the advantages to the intense training under the new training system are the unlocking multi and enhanced training options. However, it is important to do these early in a player's career as they are quite costly. I foresee anyone with dots over like level 20 just doing light training the rest of their career. Any thought about making the bonus token cost of unlocking enhanced/multi training graduated based on the age of the player? In first season, costs as is. 2nd season, -5% BTs, 3rd season -10% BTs, etc.

Bort said he would get to it sometime before the end of next weekend (the 9th).

Player for player will be the only option. You can add cash to equal a trade out however.

No. We're making a few revisions to the training to balance the system a bit more - you can see what we're discussing here:

And here is the logic behind it:

No - Coaches will have a very simple training system. One attribute at a time.
