 | Is Fit too expensive and under used? Posted by |
My team has all but one player on Fit +1. New Orleans are next with nine. Many teams only have a couple. Some that I've looked at have only used Fit on their Freshmen and others have gained Fit through the 2nd and 3rd sessions by rotating three players.
Is Fit too expensive? After all it takes 16 CP too increase Fit on a senior player. That 16 could could be used on other players to increase Skill. Fit is lost at the end of the season but the Skill increase is permanent.
However Fit increases the Skill of all the player's attributes. Take Wyatt Robinson, a Junior, for example. For 12 CP his most used 5 sttributes (he doesn't Set much) are increased by a total of 74 points.
I think Fit could be priced higher.

Sorry - made this poll active for just 2 days. Al?
You are okay Steve. It looks the 2 day thing may not be enforced here.
It was clear after the FIT 2 approach that 2 was too high. I'm still interested in seeing more with Steve's approach and the advantages. I would have voted "not sure need more info" in this poll. :-)
I'm not sure if the amount I 've spent (which I don't know) justifies the loss of CP used on players. Just wish i had a 3rd OH.
I'm one who has so far just used the FIT on my freshmen. I agree with Steve that if you keep the player at FIT +1, the CP for it is very affordable. If you're in doubt about whether you can ensure not playing them that third match, then the calculation becomes different. Then again, if you aren't sure about being able to keep them from that third match, they're going to drop to -1 anyway, I suppose.
Maybe I'm not the best to weigh in as Antioch has suffered several seasons of mediocrity to start this league, but I just can't fathom spending CP on FIT when those CPs are desperately needed to coach skills. The only way my players' FIT goes up is if they don't play. And with the introduction of XP for underclassmen, I try to play them as much as possible.
That's one of the things that makes this a great league to play in. There's so many different ways to play.
84 CP spent on Fit according to my calculations. Probably too much but we are only a win behind Quincy and St Charles in the Conference, are still in the TMVL and WGM and are 2nd= overall. Time will tell how much this hurts development.. Those 84 would probably have been used on 6 skills on 3 players. The same players have gained about 15 most used skills and other top players about 7 or 8 though Fit.
I don't think we could have beaten S Charles on Christmas Day without it.
After reading this post last year, I started to expand my FIT coaching options. I'm still on the fence about it, echoing Rob's reasons for not doing it. It's a nice experiment, though, and agree there's plenty of different angles to play this game.
I see Quincy have 8 players on FIT +1 and hardly any players CP'd.
Welll...yeah...but its not like any of them are in the grade A range or at B+. :-)
