Subject: US Senior National Team

Youre looking at two same players???

I think you accidentally pasted the same id twice or something.

i meant Dominic Fugate
There was an error on player and i tried to fix quick before the 2 minutes expired and i got it wrong

i really hate this 2 minutes only to fix things

Pity about the 5/6 on Fugate but a good bar to beat to make NT I will have him scouted tomorrow to see if there are any other serious flaws.

My Johnny Bradbury might be worth a look. Behind on OR, but has 80+ qualities for the big 3, 6/6, and will have TR12 100 days.

91-88-79 Q's for top 3 attributes. Every day he gets +85-95 in training.

In 500 days i will have TRF level 15. But jokes aside, you have a good young goalie.

fugate does not have flaws other than 5/6. he is very good one. Like I mentioned before when mojo pulled him: It is going to be very hard to beat Lanky's goalie as he is almost perfect.

Lanky goalie: 93-94-91

93-94-91 wow that is some serious stats

I decided to run also

Age 17 OR 350+ CL 4/6 or better, excelent qualities TP +10 RG +9

Age 16 OR 340+ CL 5/6 or better ,very good qualities TP +10 RG +9

Age 15 OR 315+ CL 6/6 or better, good qualities TP +10 RG +9

Just a general chart.

I will make major changes starting with leaving 10 spots for fresh talent.

There are way too many players that should be in the National team but aren't. Younger is always better so the 15y ( next season 16y ) will obviously get have advantage over the older players. Although guys with great chemistry and experiance will still stay on the team to keep a good morale

While experience is definitely a valuable factor to consider when picking players, it's worth noting that "regular starters" will also train slower.

Everything in the below analysis will change next season once PPM tweaks how exp and chemistry work (relative to game importance).

Analysis
-------------

I actually did some quick and dirty math this season with training and exp. I determined that setting a clear starter to play the majority of minutes isn't necessarily a winning training strategy. Consider the following:

(1)
my goalies train roughly 0.08 slower when they played a full game than when they didn't play at all. Over the course of a full season that's (112 days x 0.08 per day = ) 8.96 total training lost due to typical league play. I played the vast majority of games split between low/normal (0.375 energy loss a day), so this is probably a "below average" estimate of the training that could be lost (if you played more games on normal for instance).

(2)
my goalies gain about 3 exp for every 400 SA. Granted this is a very rough estimate and exp gain depends on many factors (in the coming season it will depend on intensity of play AND match difficulty). So in a season where I'll have anywhere between 2300 Shots against (SA) in 58 games (which is the minimum league games including playoffs) and 2560 SA in 64 games (max league games including playoffs), that would be a "max seasonal exp gain" of somewhere around 6. Teams in higher divisions will have slightly more exp gain due to having higher OTR competition.

(3)
given that exp is said to give a 20% boost in stats for every 100 exp, 20 exp would give roughly a 4% boost in stats. It would take about 3 seasons to build up 20 exp in a goalie (which is fairly close to what you see with most starting, 17 year old goalies right now).

(4)
If your goalie is 400 OR, a 4% boost in stats would be 16 stat points. Going back to what we saw before (in bullet 1), you lose roughly 8.96 points per season due to playing the goalie as a starter. So in 3 seasons, at my current training levels, I'd lose 26.88 points of training, but I'd only gain 16 points from experience. That's a net loss.

-------------
Conclusion
-------------
Experience will certainly come into play further down the road once players are 21 and older and aren't training as quickly, but the numbers suggest that it is better to train them more when they are younger (because the exp gain doesn't match the training loss). Then once their training slows down, you can play them more time for more exp gain.

At the very LEAST, low experience shouldn't be a deal breaker at this point on the national team. At the very BEST, experience should be absolutely moot at this point on the national team.

When we get into seasons 7-8 and beyond, we can start talking about whether a player has enough exp for the national team, but right now, it really shouldn't matter.

With that all said, even as decent as Stone Larkin is, Lloyd Russ will most likely be playing 75% of the minutes next season, as he has almost passed Larkin in terms of overall strength in only a couple of months of training. Which is crazy since Larkin is no scrub by any means (he has primary qualities of 88-82-78)

Russ will be my best goalie (and will continue to be more and more my best goalie), so his status as my primary starter will be all but solidified.

How much Russ gets in training or non game days?

All of you that have talented goalies: I reccomend using the ratio FiP 100 Blk 70 Pass 55 Tech 25
