- Helps dots who change teams and thus are asking to do something entirely different from what the previous coordinator wanted.

- Helps agents who made bad decisions and thus don't get recruited because their VAs are a mess.

- Lets agents experiment more, since only having 15 means you're scared to try anything new because you have to use that full allotment to change that VA the following season.

- Reduces the amount of people calling for full resets every season.


Downside? None that I can think of.

It's a practical and good idea.

When dots move from team to team, they often need to adapt their VAs to "get on the program" with their new group. 15 points is generally not enough reset to make this happen.

30 would help.


Note: allowing more resets for players that switch teams might seem like a good solution to this, but it would be abused and gamed heavily so it wouldn't be a good idea at all.

Would it make any difference if the extras where only given to lvl 76+ dots?

Kind of another boost incentive

The sunk cost aspect creates more of a long-term strategy reward. 30 per season is too far.

LOL? Guess we just won't apply VPs at all until the Pros/WL. K thanks for a quality product.

I usually get bored with a dot after 2 seasons of plateau, it's be nice if they weren't so static once there.

Whether this creates a long term strategy reward goes without saying, whether this particular long term strategy reward makes the game better is highly debatable.

Can someone put in layman's terms why having the option to change 30 VA's versus 15 VA's would be so bad to the game? Just how much of the game do you think would change by having the ability to switch out 1 extra set of VA's?

Agreed, what's the problem if everyone would be able to do it? The sim changed so much from season to season as it is that 30 is necessary imo.
