Asunto: »Season 69

I love olives but I really don't like them cooked, they lose all their flavour.

yes, veggie, I don't have milk either, but sometimes its in other products, all other dough i have issues with white is carcinogenic , brown flour sprayed crops and so on, I get reflux, so i stick to sourdough and rye or as much of a mix as possible

Pizza with no tomato sauce?!!! Wait, that's not a pizza then :))) I have a lot of friends from Napoli. They barely accept any variations of pizza being called pizza. They say it's just an american thing. But I am sure that they will never talk to me if I mention 'pizza with no tomato sauce' :))))

My head chef was Italian and it was his idea. I think it's fairly common in Italy, I'm sure I've seen it before.

Italians do it the best, red wine, food , fashion, Gino D'Acampo ? hehe

He must be Ligurian. They eat the 'white pizza', no tomato sauce. Don't forget, tomatoes were not known in Italy before they were brought from South America. And the Ligurians still prefer their bread (pissa) topped with all sorts but not tomato sauce.

You can leave juniors in ys after their time is done, they just wont train or be able to play matches

Well, that sucks

Oh, that's not good news. I prefer the scenario Camus described. I am only stressing about Swamp's juniors because it seems that some of them are really good.

I don't see anything about it in the rules but I have just seen something else I'm going to take issue with.

"The distribution of individual skills is set for each junior when he comes to your junior team; each individual skill grows proportionally with the overall skill when your junior trains each week."

Excuse me? This is wrong.
If skills grew proportionally there would be no Brilliants with Tragic Pace. A junior might join with Tragic Pace, but if skills grew proportionately, it would go up in-line with every other skill. That is clearly not the case.

Oh, please, don't get me going about the juniors. Or about the pace skill in this game. It's a joke. I played in a club since I was 9. Someone with 'tragic' pace would've not been accepted if he was the club's president's son. Nevermind going through the whole cycle up to be promoted to the senior team. I know wdp will say Jan Molby lol, but even Jan wasn't tragic.

Depends how it treats it. If you have 0.0 pace and improve it by 100%, you still have 0.0 pace.

It's likely a mis translation though.

Juuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuniors!!!!!

but even Jan wasn't tragic.

Maybe Akinfenwa? I think we think a tragic pace person wouldn't be in a physical sport, maybe darts!

It is ridiculous if you apply real-world logic to this game, but I can kind of understand why they don't in this case. Arguably they should also take Stamina out of the training equation but I think the issue is you're losing 25% of trainable skills.

Personally I feel Stamina and Pace should have age-dependent maximum limits that drop with the age update. No-one in this game over 30 should have Divine Pace, that's stupid. It would also free up the national teams of these players who should have been moved on long ago, in favour of the 22-25 year olds who are currently completely ignored.

No-one in this game over 30 should have Divine Pace,
Remember short distance runners peak late 20's early 30's and middle to long distance think of Mo Farah, and boxers, if you look after your body, but some do take a bit extra ahem

* it's not easy to do pace as we all know fast 18yo's are in RL but not here, no other way of really doing it apart from not letting you train some other skills and say pace starts higher
* I think pace should be something you start with and keep and only drop, an untrainable skill
