How much would a player type of these cost?
Or would it be the same price of a regular player?

Bort thinks we can have it done by s24. Worst case s25.

now instead of take 2 years to use up all our flex, it will take less time, you will be recyling our flex at a much higher rate
You didn't spend two weeks doing the spreadsheets and math, so you're really just guessing. I'm not guessing.

money grab is not always best for a game, slight changes good, big changes for money grab not good.
How is this a change for money grab? Looks like they're losing money from boosts because you need fewer over the life of the player.
From what i see, you will go through flex faster and with the new costs of CEQ non refundable it becomes a money grab.
You're still only using 3 boosts per season, so you're not burning flex faster. It's the player retirement coming sooner that makes the difference, but I still don't see the money grab.

Less money spent on boosting.

The $ benefit to the game here will be quicker player turnover. Burn through that 70% return twice as fast so you need more flex.
We accounted for that.

perhaps, Maybe I am just not liking the change. I will now just try to figure all this new crap out.

Accelerated player development is still "optional" correct?
If you want to build both sorts of players, can you do this, or is everything headed towards APD?

No it will be a game wide change.

Looks to me like it'll be break even or just a small bump $ wise over the 2 year cycle.

My big concern is it's still only 3 levels at the top of the game, dots need to stay WL/Pro ready for longer than 3 seasons to fix the competiveness in 8 pro leagues. I was hoping that this change would lengthen the dots career at the top to get more dots at the top end of the game.
