Warrior General Games

since the only thing we have as players to spend money on is training and equipment(and the eq fund basically takes care of upgrades) I suggest training be free for a couple of reasons.

1) with all the stranded free agents in this game, they wont need an unemployment system to continue to play, so hopefully there will be less inactives by allowing unemployed players to continue to train to make there guys better

2) training seems more like a part of practice, like individual workouts, which most teams provide a place for and incourage players to use throughout the entire life of their contract without charging them for it's use.

this will open the options up for bort to create new things to spend money on, with the too soon additions of the fame aspect of the game ciming to fruition.

if they just add more things to pay for without relieving some of the already in place overhead cost of running a player this will end up with players only signing with teams that can afford to give them the money to get this stuff while still being able to train. this will only end up with more league disparity as the rich continue to be rich with a recruiting edge, and the poor will never be able to compete leading to more sellbacks and gut jobs.

thoughts?

since training is the only things we can buy, i dont feel pressed for money. if we could buy other things free practice would be great, but not a necessity yet

I don't either, because I've lucked out, and gotten on good teams or slow build teams that have the money cuz everyone is signed to minimums, but this would help a lot of owners cut expenses so they can add more players. they should also think about adding more things for owners to buy to eat up some of their cash as well.

training in real life is not free.

really? who do people pay to train?

In Canada most people in the west goto National sport development NSD. I went there for a football camp and saw guys from the Calgary flames (NHL) training there.

and I'm sure the flames pay for it, in the US(american football sim) teams encourage players to use the team training facilities so that they can more closely monitor there investment(and they don't charge them to use it)

it costs about 1000$ for a 3month football program there.

Depends, ever see rocky?

It may not be high tech, it may not be flashy..but nothing beats a lot of hard work.

I think it should be less than the paid for sure. However, I could see this being pretty cool.

this is a stupid idea it will ruin the game

i learned how to play running back by a brother, father, 2 cousins and a back yard. Unless you go mommy and get a personal trainer(Waste of money), training is free. And when your on a football team, they have position training for each position
