Dear managers, we want to introduce a rework for the Academy tryout system. 

What's wrong right now
The academy has a dominant strategy, and most of you have already figured it out: don't accept anything until your scouting power is maxed, then cash in for a godlike. Accepting early is just throwing away value. That means the "decision" of who to accept isn't really a decision, there's a correct answer, and it's "wait." Everything before that is sacrificing scouting power.

It is also pretty boring, once you accept a godlike, to wait until scouting power fills back up. Mostly feeling like a chore to go in to just reject the surely weak tryouts.

What we're changing it to
We are removing scouting power completely. All tryouts are generated with similar quality (somewhat around the equivalent of 80 scouting power). Additionally, they are now generated with random age between 13yo and 17yo and we are having some start with a little fame.
You can be lucky and get pretty decent ones, and there is no cooldown or restriction to accept.

Then we are introducing NEW tryouts that break the ceiling of the 750 academy players with high top 4. They should be around the level of the fire heart monsters from TL and have a fixed age of 15yo. On every TO generation it's a fixed chance of 0.27%. A fixed chance like that would result in one godlike in roughly 365 rolls on average.

This system would sprinkle a ceiling breaking Youth here and there and allow you to go full homegrown decent youths (what's currently considered good/godlike).

It would also have everyone be more interested in checking their tryouts daily.

Summary

• We remove the scouting power
• We have regular TOs all be roughly of the same quality, with some new differences like age and fame
• 0.27% chance to get a >750 TO with high top4

Migration plan
Starting now, all current users will be playing under the old/current system until they accept a tryout, that will be the trigger to move to the new system.

So, if you have a high scouting power and would rather keep waiting under the old system you can do so, but if you feel ready to migrate to the new system you can just accept a tryout and it will move you to the new system. It doesn't have to be a tryout you need, you can just kick him right after with no cost.

During the season 15 update (2 seasons from now), we will force-migrate everyone.

We want to thank the community for the feedback. Without that we'd not be at this point.
