You have a gaping anus.

-Still getting 0 training way too often at 1% EXP.
-I lost my 1 EXP when hbionic challenged and beat me.  I thought there was no risk to losing it if you don't initiate the game?

[hbionic]

I think it has to do with the caps...I bet if you trained power right now...you may be at #1 ranking again.

I get zero's on everything...I'm pretty much capped out except special teams.

[Diomedes]

you can lose EXP when challenged and you lose

what is no longer at risk in that scenario is your streak

[Cerevant]

Correct.

As for the stats: caps aren't implemented yet.  When they are, you won't be able to waste energy if you are capped.

Stat increase is independent of your exp.  If you stat is 10, you have a 90% chance of gaining between 1 and 5 pts. in that stat.  If your stat is 30, you have a 70% chance.  If it is 60, you have a 40% chance, and so on.  Once you reach 95, you always have a 5% chance of gaining.

It's like Socialism?

Also, Geo had a point with the field position thingy, I think.

[hbionic]

So, does it matter if we train when we have 1 or is it always best to have full energy and train when we have 5 available?

It doesn't matter when you train - it isn't like FC in that way.

What would you expect?    Actually, I stole that from a P&P RPG, but I'm allowing you to train too often, so the stats are going up too fast.

Yeah, I'll take a look at the interception bug now. - Fixed.

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

Sweet.  Experience be damned, you can find me waiting on the gridiron!

[Diomedes]

I haven't had a streak greater than three and I've only had that once.

Everytime I log on my experience is zero because I've been played and beaten, often by the same team, several times in a row.  Most of the time, I'm in the training room at this point because of injuries.  And when I come out to the gridiron, there are no opponents...everyone else is in the training room.

I'm at zero experience and my Hype grows so slowly that it's just frustrating to try to play.

[Geowhizzer]

Sorry about that, Dio.  You and sausage were the only ones not in the training room.

[Diomedes]

no worries.

The way the game is structured, I don't think there's anyone I can beat anymore.  Maybe one or two by chance, but certainly not on a regular enough basis to string together a streak that will allow my hype to grow fast enough for me to train my stats up to par.

And even if I could beat people...almost everyone is in the training room, either from being being put there by injuries or because they're hiding out protecting their exp

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

It would be more fair if hype went up something like 3 or 4 every 5 minutes, plus 1/2 of streak, rounded up.

This is coming from a guy rocking a 10 streak.

[Diomedes]

I'd be happy to pull together a five streak.

I agree, and I have a 10 streak, too.

Right now, the system is set up to make people choose to either hide out in the training room, or search for the few to play that are "safe bets" and forgot to put themselves in the training room.   I don't want to put my 10 streak on line against Hbionic or FF, whom I have yet to defeat (though I did lose it once playing hbionic).  The cost of losing is just too high.
