Reason was that we didn’t want all players to be the same at the end of the training period, as well as helping with our star players system. In reality, regardless of how long they train, some players are stronger, some players faster and so on – we wanted to represent that in the design. Another key component of the cap system is that the cap is set based off the starting levels of the player when the player exits the academy, and so all managers know what the caps are – we really didn’t want hidden caps. Whether a player ever reaches their caps, however, is determined by how the manager goes about training the player.

Or to put it another way, why did classic BR not have them and the new BR will have them?

I will have to reread it to have it sink in.

One thing caught my eye, though:

Height
Affects speed positively

Is the above an error, or will we see those locks that are too light for the scrum scrambling down the wing in the new game?
