I'm not sure if the academy is worthless now (it probably will require some further balancing), but it's supposed to be a lot weaker in terms of getting a good player fast. Now the effect should be that you will get rewarded when you have kept players in your academy for a while as the training should be more cost effective there.
He initially had 15 Points everywhere, and a bit more in useless stats like leadership. That was already very Bad stats for 50k investment and now he even dropped further(3points yet) in the lane he is playing in.
Hell These Drops suck and make the whole game frustrating :(
Was already angry seeing that the debt thing just goes live in July so i could take the sponsor plus 100k in debt (would cost me around 5-6 days getting back to -50k which is the limit) but now with worse academy players and a recent increase in wins (i did not change anything on my 10k academies) ill put a lot money in training and be fine i guess.
