Increased Retirement Refund for young players:

We're giving young players the opportunity to retire their players for either a full refund (if the player is between 0-80 days of age) or an increased refund of 80% (if the player is between 81-120 days of age). You can only do this in the season 23 to season 24 offseason. Rewards points are non-refundable.

Rolling Level Cap Based Upon Number of Boosts

While conducting testing of potential player builds, we found that the new growth rate of Accelerated Player Development led to players reaching higher levels and that there was the possibility of reaching higher levels with a limited amount of boosts. Because of this, we are making an additional adjustment to make boosting more worthwhile for our valued paying customers. What we will be doing is implementing a rolling maximum level cap based upon the number of times a player has boosted. The level caps are as follows:

30 boosts - Level 79
29 boosts - Level 78
28 boosts - Level 77
27 boosts - Level 76
26 boosts - Level 75
25 boosts - Level 74
24 boosts - Level 73
23 boosts - Level 72
22 boosts - Level 71
21 boosts - Level 70
20 boosts - Level 69
19 boosts - Level 68
18 boosts - Level 67
17 boosts - Level 66
16 boosts - Level 65
15 boosts - Level 64
14 boosts - Level 63
13 boosts - Level 62
12 boosts - Level 61
11 boosts and under - Level 60

Player Conversion

Existing players will be converted to a new age equivalent based upon the following conversion factors. Ages will be rounded up to the nearest whole number.

Day 0-19 .9
Day 20-29 .85
Day 30-39 .8
Day 40-79 .7
Day 80-119 .65
Day 120-159 .6
Day 160-199 .54
Day 200-239 .56
Day 240-279 .56
Day 280-399 .57
Day 400-440 .6
Day 441-560 (for players in plateau) subtract 160 days
Day 441-560 (for players not in plateau) no conversion
Day 561 no conversion

Training Changes

Existing training points will be divided by 1.6 and rounded to the next highest 2 value (so for example if you had 30 TP, that value would be reduced to 20). This is to prevent teams/players from taking advantage of the increased training gains by storing training points.

Training gains will be multiplied by 1.6. This is based off of the following:

392 days to plateau in new system = 784 training points
Current system a player will receive 1260 training points by the time they reach plateau.

1260/784 = 1.607

Bonus Token Changes


To account for this, we also need to adjust bonus token gains by 1.6. To do this we are increasing BT gain rate by 2 and BT costs and existing BT values by 1.25 (2/1.25 = 1.6) with some rounding up/down to nearest whole number.

Changed values as follows (kept buying additional piece of regular EQ same as it's not used much by players)

Bonus Token Gains

Intense Training - 2 Bonus Tokens
Normal Training - 4 Bonus Tokens
Light Training - 6 Bonus Tokens
Multi Train 2 Attributes - 4 Bonus Tokens
Multi Train 3 Attributes - 8 Bonus Tokens
Multi Train 4 Attributes - 12 Bonus Tokens

10 in SA = 33 , 47, 61, 75

Add an extra SA

1st extra SA added - 35 bonus tokens

Each additional extra SA is an increase of 35 bonus tokens (so if you've already added a 2nd extra SA and wish to add a 3rd, it would cost 70 bonus tokens)

AEQ and Enhanced Shopping

In store purchases will increase by a factor of 1.25 with all numbers rounded up.

AEQ will cost 30 bonus tokens to upgrade every 8 levels.

Stored BT values will be increased by 1.25 (rounded to nearest whole number).

To convert a piece from one body part to another will cost 15 bonus tokens.

To shop in the AEQ store, it will cost 3 bonus tokens.

12 bonus tokens = AEQ with +1 to an attribute
18 bonus tokens = AEQ with +2% suffix item or basic SA
25 bonus tokens = AEQ with +2 to an attribute
38 bonus tokens = AEQ with +3% suffix item or advanced SA

Veteran Abilities Changes

Because of accelerated player development, we will need to increase the number of VXP a player receives in order to balance them out with the existing players. In order to achieve that, VXP will be awarded as follows:

From level 25-29, you receive 150 veteran XP per day.
From level 30-34, you receive 250 veteran XP per day.
From level 35-39, you receive 300 veteran XP per day.
From level 40 up, you receive 325 veteran XP per day.

Additions to GLB

#1 - Allow for up to 6 boosts once a player enters plateau. A player could use this to boost from level 69 to level 72 or to take a player from level 73 to 76 if they so wished. Limitation - can only use this to boost up to a maximum level of 79.

#2 - Add a new unlockable tree to Custom Equipment as follows (can use RP for this):

Level 32: +3% modifier or +1 to SA, 50 flex non-refundable
Level 56: +3% modifier or +1 to SA, 50 flex non-refundable
Level 72: +6% modifier or +2 to SA, 100 flex non-refundable

Total a player could get is +12% (subject to AEQ stacking limitations), +4 to SA.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Why is GLB doing this?

A: Many of our customers have been asking and clamoring for a speeded up player development process. After careful thought, we decided it was in the best interests of the game to do so.


Q: How much shorter will this process be?

A: The accelerated player development process will get a player to maturity (plateau) approximately 7 months faster than the current system.


Q: When will this change take place?

A: Barring unforeseen circumstances, it will take place this upcoming offseason. Most likely on day 41-42.


Q: Is this change optional? Can a player opt out and stick with the current system?

A: No, it is being implemented game wide. All players will be working under the new system. We've taken considerable measures to make sure the change impacts all players equally.


Q: My player is currently in plateau. Will he/she be eligible for the two extra seasons of plateau?

A: Yes.


Q: My player is currently in decline. Will he/she be eligible for the two extra seasons of plateau?

A: No. Players in decline will remain in decline.


Q: Will this impact Pee Wee at all?

A: Other then the various changes (speed of player leveling, TP/BT changes, etc) no it will not.



Q: Does the refund for young players include Custom EQ?

A: It includes permanent Custom EQ, not rental Custom EQ.



Q: Is the new Custom EQ subject to AEQ stacking limitations?

A: Yes, it is.



Q: With the new Custom EQ additions, can you choose any +% modifier or any SA?

A: Yes, that is correct.



Q: Will currently held bonus tokens be multiplied by 2?

A: No, they will be multiplied by 1.25. For example, if you have 24 bonus tokens in an account, it would be converted to 30.



Q: The age conversion will cause my team to stay at or move to a lower level. Will my stadium/cash be reset?

A: No, it will not. If your team's level is directly impacted as a result of this change, nothing will be reset. If, however, you are requesting to go from a high level to Rookie/Sophomore or something much lower leveled, then yes your stadium/cash will still be reset.



Q: I heard that in this new system I will be able to reach level 80 and get level 80 EQ. Is this true?

A: No, it is not. We are implementing a hard level cap of level 79. Once you have reached level 79 or 281 days in age, you will no longer be eligible for any XP or boosts.
