I understand the appeal, but I don't see a way it could be smoothly implemented. It would mess with Game shape because minutes a week would sky rocket and like I said the only available day to add another game would be Sunday and then we are talking about playing Thursday, Saturday, Sunday, and Tuesday games a week. If your player gets hurt for 2 weeks, he is essentially missing a third of the season because he will miss the games he is hurt for and then his GS will be trash when he gets back which amounts to at least another 2-3 games.

I respect your hopinion however I feel you are choosing comfort over what would be better to attract new users... when I mean speed training up I mean much faster than it is now, either directly (primary gets 2x) or indirectly (secondaries get 3-4x). Training is all about the Skinner Box, you just can't underestimate it.

The market is already in a bad place for BB and players on the TL. This would screw up the market even further and that is why I don't like it. It also messes with the U21 NT players substantially (One of the aspects of BB that I love the most) and those two reasons are why I don't like it.

How about Friday? Or moving B3 on Friday and keep the PL on Sunday as they are only for Supporters and not mandatory as you can join or not and there is no consequences from winning and losing... it's all possible as long as there is will to execute it.

What is the problem with the market being in a bad place? Where is the root of it? Price-wise or quality-wise?

Faster training gets better quality than now and it would lower the treshold of what player can be considered "good trainee". The cap would still be there so it would just be reached faster. In my head sounds even funnier/more entertaining tbh.

Plus if the number of user keeps decreasing the market CANNOT get to a better place. It can only get worse.

Price is relative, it's a problem that should be solved not through training but setting the economy correctly. If the prices go down its not a problem tbh. Just because some type of player was worth 3M 2 season ago it doesnt have to be valued the same today... if all prices go down there is no problem.

I think my issue is by adding a league game to any part of the week means that there are back-to-back games at some point in the week that effect GS. This means that I have to 100% be an every day log in user if I want to maintain GS. I can preset lineups, but the GE is weird sometimes and does strange things with minutes, so I would want to set the lineup for every game after knowing the full GS situation for my team. Perhaps the App will help with this issue I have.

Right now it is set up as a Tuesday game, a day off that doesn't effect minutes or GS, and then Thursday scrimmages and cup matches, followed by another day off, followed by Saturday games, and then two days off. This means that users don't have to log in every day if they have stuff going on in real life.

Minutes don't matter for B3 (I believe) or for Private Leagues and that is why those game days are okay to have consecutively. I also still don't know how GS minutes would work by adding in another game.

The price of the market is probably at the lowest it has ever been. This is probably because people investing in the new arena and training court features instead of buying players. I'm not sure if it is an incredibly bad thing, but it definitely is odd to me. There are other threads that talk about the low market right now, so I'll let you read those and form your own opinion, but I think faster training would lead to a bigger surplus of 21-22 monster players that could impact the market in a negative way.

The price fluctuation is one of the more intriguing things as BB has progressed. I'd love some other opinions from other users on what you proposed because I'm not sure how much more information I can offer, as I'm pretty firm right now in my opinion. This is a great discussion though!

Adding a game to the week means you need to make new formulas for game shape, economy, training, it would change everything and i'd rather keep the current balance than mess it up completely

An example, how do you handle game shape? If you increase the required weekly minutes, you'll have trouble keeping everybody in good shape
If you don't, you'll need to bench your starters even more than now

Add a game a week it could be possible calculating game shape and minutes for the 3 championship games,Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday and play the cup apart like a private league on Sunday.

ok, worrying about the GS formula without having a clue of the actual formula is kinda bonkers but anyway they can just add 12-24 mins to the 48mins threshold that we have now and boom the trick is done.

the economy is a little trickier because less weeks means less salaries paid but less TV income as well, if the GS formula is tweaked correctly having the teams need larger roster can compensate the higher weekly revenue. That and some adjustments to the TV income should do it.

The point is things can be figured out on the way, you cant these nonsense block you and stop any kind of improvement. This game has been the same for 10years... if you want to keep playing till it dies same as it happened to Charazay is one thing if you wanna see it live on you gotta do something.

I like the idea of training on Sundays.

The training would become slower if nothing changes and you get more games in a week, so the formula would need changing. I still hope to get that sped up tbh.
