People in here really think that simply making the SHL more accessible is "gifting training." Huh? Since when did assisting one of the primary issues around league longevity (retention rates) become a bad thing? Would it not make more sense to ease draftees into getting comfortable with earning money instead of tossing them into x2 costs on training?


Legit, what is with the dissonance of opinions in this thread compared to what it's actually trying to accomplish? Does having 5 TPE cost 750k instead of 1mil somehow invalidate the fact they earned that money. There are people in here acting as though training is going to be free, no, fuck off with that, you still need to work hard it just so happens these changes allow you to actually get your foot in the door and realize "I'm going to need more money" instead of getting overwhelmed with needing to double your media production. Making it incrementally easier for players to be successful and impact the league is far from a bad thing. Being able to afford training is even possibly the lowest bar of entry to be 2k, not like there's PT's, fantasy, mPT's, 3on3's, and a lot of other factors that can impact the race to 2k. If you're gonna tell me 3 seasons of 5 tpe for cheaper is gonna ruin that accomplishment... idk.

Mathematically you aren't earning any different over a season, so let's just look at 3 seasons, maybe... what, 9-10 weekly training's in before the start of a new season. Going off of 250k saved (750k 5tpe training) you end up with 2.5 million bucks going off of 10 trainings/season. If you go for three seasons that saves you less than the top tier of SHL coaching (7.5 mil compared to 8.5 mil). So you get, maybe an extra 45 TPE off of this idea if you earn the exact same? That might just break the league tbh
