However, it costs nothing in wage terms! actually the admins also have said that BPOS importance diminishes as your skill goes up. I can't seem to find this statement. Tried both the breakhtrough thread and Peter's search tool with no luck. Any chance you could provide me with a link to the statement?

I think its more a case of, when your skills are low, a high BPOS makes a big difference over a low BPOS, but ones you have other skills increased, it becomes more balanced..

think of it this way, if you treat BPOS as a 'main skill' like admin has said, imagine these situations...

Early on, say you have a player with 3 other Majors.. A, B, and C

a player with say.. A-5, B-5, C-5, BPOS - 5 Star, as compared with a A-5, B-5, C-5, BPOS - 1 Star, player, the BPOS will have a big factor,

BUT... if you compare A-10, B-10, C-10, BPOS - 5 Star, to a player who is A-10, B-10, C-10, BPOS - 1 Star, the BPOS difference would seem to have less of an affect, becasue it is all relative to total major skills...

Inconclusively, it is a waste.

Cheers for the explanation MDJ! Totally make sense from that point of view

Fixed But I still don't see anything official to support this even though it makes sense.

Yes I saw that one, but it doesn't say that it becomes worse as the other skills goes up. Through your logic it makes sense, but what if it continuously add the same effect?

Through your logic a QB with 14 passing could have almost any Talent rating and it wouldn't matter, since the BPOS wouldn't matter. I doubt that to be honest, but your explanation is the best one yet. Remember that a Talent 0.5 could with insane amount of luck get 14 in passing skill.
