Hi jeeves

What you (and many others) have suggested basically, deletes the Captain role as a whole. Why? Because it just turns him in to a glorified-toggle/button that you use to chose who takes the Training Gift every day. Not to mention that it's also fiddly to do instead of there being an actual button/list at the Gift menu. You have to go in to your Squad, turn the pitch over, go to Captain, select a player wait for next day, and if you want to distribute the point equally among several players you'll have to do this needless backtracking over and over and over again just to achieve something that could otherwise be done with a flick of the finger.
I don't get it.
Captain's role is cosmetic so there isn't anything to delete.
I believe we 're upgrading his role as we usually set as Captain the older, a legend or the star players of our team. So this extra s.p. will help to keep him in a litlle more higher quality or an extra season in a long term.
I don't believe that there is a manager who doens't prefer the s.p. goes in a specific player (or maybe 1-2 more, but not random).
So it's not only the negotiations problem but it's something positive too.

Not to mention that the possibility of a butterfly effect to occur is always there...
yes but I suppose that this is under every suggestion or change we have or want.

@Khris
Maybe the captain "should allow" unlock a 14% max bonus for the line he's playing in?... then maybe regarding the SP "this can go, not to the captain but lets say that we have a team that play defensive so, "we choose a defense as captain" to have stability there and potentiate the defensive game, also, the free SP can go, maybe not to the captain but to a player that plays in the same area (DEF+gk- MC's -AT)
but this is much more complicate and vulnerable to butterfly effect

too using beta testers before launch things etc
that's a good idea but how can it work ?
We had some kind of beta testing about the refund of tokens, most people didn't like it, finally they launched this update in the market and now 90% of the managers are frustrated with this new auctions style.
