Hi guys
Fellow leager of mine posted this in our forums recently.

This applies only to the salary your players have when they are acquired -- if you train your players and their salaries increase as a result, you won’t be responsible for this increase. To make the implementation more gradual, all current teams will have an extra training exemption

He also commented that his exemption was double.

As far as I can tell, my training exemption is simply the flat total of my player salaries.

Im not over-extended, so the exemption isnt being applied, so im just wondering why my extra training exemption is not being applied anywhere?

figured it was a bug, so yer, if it could be resolved/fixed/explained, that would be great.

Yes you are correct, my net balance is not affected by this problem, because im well away from actually being 'over-extended'. and the OET is not applied on anything.
So yes, im not paying anything, and im not gaining anything, which is fine, i understand that.

However my query is that the the 'Training Exemption' amount, that is listed Currently mine stands at $183,050

Doing a calculation i have the following player salaries whom I drafted AND trained from scratch.

$91k
$7k
$49k
$13.5k
$6k
= roughly $167k

I also have another few guys whom salaries have probably increased the estimated following amounts since i bought them

$8k
$3k
$2k
= roughly $13k $13k + $167k = $180k , which is basically my training exemption.

However my 'bug' is that the news item alludes to the fact that "To make the implementation more gradual, all current teams will have an extra training exemption" which suggests that my training exemption (in spite of the fact that it is not being applied) should be higher than $183k

So lets take the example whereby, I go and buy 2 x $200k salary players, my training exemption would only be $183k, however the news item suggests that the exemption should be 'extra'. So as far as i can tell, the current $183k calculation that is showing on my page, is wrong - hence = bug.

ok well im happy to close this as a bug, but I would still like clarification from Marin on what the supposed 'extra exemption' is or in fact, if there is any. Are you able to arrange for Marin to clarify or should I email him or ... ?

and as a side note, im going tol make a side-suggestion in the suggestion forums for this as well with regards to the calculation.

yep no worries thanks for that.

Also just to clarify because it may have been mis-interpreted - I know the OET isnt supposed to bring me money - thats not my bug.
i understand the OET and how it works - im just lacking in understanding of the calculation of the training exemption component only, and, if there is some 'extra exemption' (as stated in the news feed), which should be applied and how this is applied.

so yer - I know its not going to GIVE me money :)

ahhhhhhhhhhhh YES, that clears it up. The 'Extra exemption' is referring to the gradual process of rolling it in, rather than a monetary amount. So yes i got confused when i read that, and i mus-interpreted it.

OK thanks for clearing that up. So this definitely isnt a bug and can be closed now, thanks Perpete!

PS: Just made a suggestion in the suggestino forum that the amount of salary an individual player is exempted for be listed somewhere. This would take the 'guess work' out of knowing what you drafted/purcahsed a player for and then guessing how much of his salary is from what you trained etc.
