Here are some of my not necessarily brave predictions about the outcome of HT 6.5
*Millions will whinge about the effects of 6.5. thousands will threaten to quit. Hundreds will. The internet will reverbrate with the whining and bring the down Hattrick server...but it will come back up shortly after.
*The hundreds that quit will not put a dent in HT, as HT will still grow geometrically.
*Despite the changes, the game will be great fun, just as before, just slightly more realistic. The hundreds that quit will grumblingly sign up for new teams in low divisions.
*Many teams will play destruction when they are greatly overmatched. They will still get pounded.
*Thousands of great middies will be dumped on the market for low prices. This won't last long, and the price will stabilize, slightly lower than it used to be.
*Wingers will be the next cash boom gold rush. Thousands will rush to training Wingers. The bottom will fall out, and prices will stabilize. In the end we'll have better wingers.
*Veteran players advancing in age will take heart, as teams now value their experience, and want them, as before they were at best, a clown on the bench.
*Players will become more "alive" and the roleplaying aspect will increase, as great players become experienced leaders, and leaders become great coaches.
*The tactical changes will be a great success, and many new successful strategies and styles will evolve, and many more formations will be played with success, however the principles of building a successful team will remain the same.
[EDIT: Removed tounge-in-cheek prediction about my own team lest folks feel I am arrogant :) ]
