What day? 41 or -8?

either way you will have the option for it just depends when the 300 free creation points start

If you disregard the free flex, day 41 seems like the best bet even if the system isn't implemented until later.

You won't level prior to choosing an archetype anyway, so as long as you're careful about your height and weight you should end up with extra training for no real downside.

Kind of sucks we won't be able to use the "free" player creation until the next preseason. It should be available on day 41 of this season...as this is when any good agent will create new players.

In fact I can't see even taking advantage of the free player if it is now going to limit him later in his career (no age 440 boost and missing 8-10 days of training)

pretty sure I said "off season" for player creation, which means day 41. I changed it to archetype rollout though since we might have it up before then. You just need to do it by the end of preseason.

When do you feel this will be set in stone? No More tweaking and such. Because those of us who were already planning on doing a team day 41 would LOVE to have a set baseline to plan and have time to plan before day 41.

So to be clear, the archetype system will likely be ready before the end of playoffs this season?

You don't have to be careful about your height and weight if you create dots before the change. http://goallineblitz.com/game/forum_thread.pl?thread_id=3762512

the height/weight restrictions as a choice for archetype are really troubling, as it has been a VERY recent addition of configurable height/weights...

I am on a team that slow built to prepare for s.15 DOMINATION, and we have an ENTIRE roster of players who were created just before heights and weights could be selected on build start. Many of our guys were started with the old ideas of height/weight distribution on random rolls, and now we are suddenly presented with "holes" in our overall build plan because some of our players are the incorrect SIZE to choose the archetype for the roles they have built to...

I posted an example of my DE, who was created as a combo DE, at 250 LB, but the restrictions imposed by this plan do not let me select any archetype except speed....

The restrictions will just be for newly created players, not old ones. You'll be able to select an archetype outside of the restrictions if you are not a newly created player.

It's pretty set in stone right now. The only things we will change is if we see balance issues during testing.

When will that testing be done...cause I know those ALG's have changed a lot the last few days!

Also, with the rollout of the archtypes will the initial points on your builds change...you know the ones before you get the standard 15 SP?

Good to know about H/W thing ,so with that in mind what would be the likely best creation date if an agent doesn't want that penalty ?
