The problem is no one (except for testers, I guess) knows what kind of skill values are possible at plateau.

Sure, it's nice to brag that your HB is 10/9/9 for Speed/Agility/Strength whatever, but just because you have nice max caps doesn't mean they are attainable while still maintaining reasonable values in the rest of your skills.

At the very least it's useful to know that you wasted your initial attribute points by taking Speed to 10. If you get 200k SP over your career, but it costs 100k to max out Sprinting....

Who cares about plateau. The beauty of this newst incarnation I thought was not "how can I be a good player when I retire" but "how can I be the best player possible right now." And to keep that mentality for the life of the player.

FYI. Go to a player home page with at least one skill point + button active. Use the inspector under the developer tools in Firefox (chrome probably has one as well) and change the number of SP you have available to whatever you have left for a career. Press the one active + button you have, and all the others will turn on so you can assign them however you like. And no, hitting save won't allow you to cheat the system.

This is awesome! Thank you!

For some reason it would not work on firefox, there was no input to change for SPs. I am using an old version of firefox. Got it working on chrome but could not find the inspector through the toolbar, I just right clicked on the SPs and selected "Inspect element."

<div class="toolbar">...</div>

click the ellipses

<div class="left">...</div>

Then those ones

<span id="skill points">...</span>

Then those ones.

My WR is going to suck

It does look like all players are going to suck so in the end it'll be fair and there clearly is room for a superstar to be a notch better than regular players and that makes sense to me

well this is also not including cap boosts and AP points. AP points will help me decide where to put SPs later on.

I downloaded the firefox developers tools, downloaded the DOM inspector where do I go from there

I really doubt it will kill player building to have an idea on how to build the player you want. There's enough knobs and dials on the player building that there are millions of different end builds. A player builder just lets us new players learn "Do I need more traits that +max skills or am I already not going to be able to spend SP up to that max?" Which is a really nice thing to learn now and not 5 seasons from now.

What will happen is that a few builds will become popular. Lots of people will copy them. Then someone will find a tweak to that build, or a different build altogether, and then THAT build will become copied a lot. That's just the nature of MMOs (well, MMOs that have a decent depth of character builds), and it will happen with or without a player builder.

You don't need to download anything. Go to a player's main page. Open the Firefox menu, choose Web Developer -> Inspector

The code corresponding to anything you scroll over with your mouse will now appear in the window below the page. Click on the SP value of that player. It will get selected and you should see some code highlighted below. Click on the "..." between the highlighted lines of code. Type in whatever number you want. Have fun.

this is probably the only part I like about this game. I can spend the points where and when I want to knowing the end result will be the same.

They are going to have to tweak the SP numbers then because I just put 20000 SPs into running on my power back and only got to like 55 on the scale and if I remember correctly thats all a dot has oer his career is like 20000

unless its 200,000 and im just a moron
