Milestones
#16

<a href='index.php?showuser=537' rel='nofollow' alt='profile link' class='user-tagged mgroup-56'>Schultzy</a>, the only thing I can see wrong with this is the level at which people can claim for Milestones.

Most of the people that have claimed for S30 are around 4 or 5 TPE, and that's more than the 1 day of TTC at 3 TPE.

Maybe what we do is scale down TTC and limit it to rooks and sophomores. Put it at 15 TPE for rooks, 9 TPE for sophomores, then have it be milestones uncapped the rest of the career to truly balance out the amount of uncapped given. Still gives a sizable bonus to entering the league, but doesn't overinflate the TPE market

Keep them capped, they're there to fill out the cap so you can miss a PT or two and still stay on track and they do that just fine now.
But what if you are an over achiever, do all the PTs and you're player kicks ass. You shouldn't be limited in what you earn because your success should be rewarded. With it being harder nowadays, having it uncapped is just a way of saying, hey great job on making your player somewhat great. If you miss a PT, that's your doing.

Theoretically if you're hitting all the PTs you're going to be earning more anyway because there's uncapped opportunities all along the way.

I do like <a href='index.php?showuser=537' rel='nofollow' alt='profile link' class='user-tagged mgroup-56'>Schultzy</a>'s idea, however, of having it be uncapped but take the place of training camp after X season.

So long as there's a cap on how many you can claim in that case.

I claimed 8 milestones this season (and could, theoretically, end up with more based on East Champions/Challenge Cup/Awards)... if that was made uncapped, it would far outweigh the TPE I'd lose from no longer being able to do TTC.

We'd essentially be rewarding the people who, debatably, need it the least (as they already obviously have solid builds, should they be in a position to claim a whole bunch of milestones).

I recognize that not everyone is able to claim that much, but I think it's something to keep in mind if the discussion is whether to make milestones uncapped.

It might be a sign of the impending apocalypse, but I actually the idea McZ mentioned of having milestones actually be .. career milestones, rather than a season-by-season thing. You hit 150 goals in your career? Have some TPE. You're a goalie who just hit 100 wins? TPE. A defenseman who just passed 300 SB? Rub some free TPE on those bruises. There would need to be a lot of thought put into what cutoffs are attainable while not leading to ridiculous amounts of TPE being given away, but I think it fits more with the idea of what milestones are.

Don't uncap milestones. For any reason. Those who are successful in the sim would just get even better and those who aren't would have a bigger hill to climb up to those above them in TPE.

You're likely already claiming milestones. So it's not like you're getting 8 new free TPE you weren't already getting. We're just offsetting the uncapped portion by removing TTC so you're "earning" TPE with your performance rather than being given it at TTC for no reason whatsoever.

If you want it uncapped...the only way to do it is to find the balance elsewhere.

I think TPE obsession leads to burnout.

Try not to tinker all the time without a very compelling reason to do so. I think that the adjustments to the starting values several seasons back ended up a good idea and were a good example of a compelling reason to make a change. I don't think that you need a league with a bunch of superstar clones.

With a fresh perspective, I'd stay with the rules you already have in place. See how it works for a while. Getting all worked up about a few TPE ruins the fun if you actually have a life outside the SHL. I'd rather be a late round pick or UFA that makes it as a fourth line role player than a stressed out superstar if those were the only choices.

Is it possible than to add more TPE during training camp? Perhaps run it like GOMHL where there is just a set amount every season? I mean, i'm trying to be Jagr here guys... Help a brotha out!

No don't uncap it. TTC is already giving such a limited amount of TPE for veterans. Milestones are essentially like a pension - you put in the work earlier and you get a little leeway on PTs later on. Separating it from PTs WILL cause some TPE inflation. We created a new update scale to combat inflation... let's not once again create inflation because we can't max out our players and people are sad about it or because it takes a little time to be a top player.

The point of being a Jagr is that it's incredibly difficult to do.
