I bet you're right. Don't think it would be related to the beta test, and the timing of the 12/30 engine update is dead on.

I had a C lose 6 points of speed in Knight with 10 minutes in condiitoning

I've got a -13 REB PG on my D3 Phelan team that was -1 this morning with 0 practice mins.

Is all of this just Knight? Could it be the pull of Knight to the test site?

Knight-Lipscomb:

SG -6 in REB with 0 minutes. -4 in BH with 12 minutes. Both categories were at 0 this morning

Some of my phelan have done this as well, not to such an extreme extent.

It's in Phelan as well, apparently. My changes are in that world. It seems it may have happened at this afternoon's practice, which means it could happen in all worlds tonight, if the change is global.

I'm Knight, Providence.

Some of my guys even got as many as 16 practice minutes and still the rating went down.

I got a pretty scary answer from cs already telling me it is working like it should, I referenced this post citing there are at least a dozen cases already - jeez I hope we don't go back to getting made up answers from CS

seble posted that they are working on it.....wonder whether its from practice time or mins played or both?

It happened in Tark also.

Knight--had a kid practicing REB for 13 mins--lost 2 pts after the 2nd exhibition game today. Had several others practicing 0 or 5 pts in several skills who lost 1 or 2 pts today.

my guys have taken some hits, but its mostly guys who should have lost slowly losing huge. my question - does this mean there was an unannounced change to increase the rate of decreases? CS standard response has been 7-8 minutes to stop the bleeding, but ever since potential, you could get away with 0. now that people seem to have caught on, is a correction being put into place?

Maybe so, gillispie. But some coaches are seeing drops to players with 8 or more minutes. So something may just be incorrect. And the fact it exactly coincided with the 12/30 update may point to a cause. Whatever it is, I hope they can figure it out (and if it was unintended, correct it) and let us know if practice minute philosophy changes are in order, before the 2 AM practice. I'm really glad that seble is in charge, with a quick response. I'm liking that guy, and his team, more and more.
