So I was trying to update a player who I had previously made on Cricket 22 and I figured out the discrepancy with skills. Using my skilling spreadsheet, the skill points it
recommends for a specific skill did not match up with an option in the game (Cricket 24). There are the same number of levels (15) as Cricket 22, but the skill increments are different.
Assuming the levels have been matched to the new ones it leads to the discrepancies; approx. 20% to 40% increase for each level. On Cricket 22, a player rated Level 15 for a skill would previously have been rated 80. On Cricket 24 they are 99. A mid rated player (say, level 7) on Cricket 22 was 55 is now 77.
The increase is higher at the lower levels (e.g. it's 15 to 25 for level 1) and lower at the top end (80 to 99 for level 15) so worse players are going to have much higher skill points. How much difference this makes I'm not entirely sure there could've been under the hood changes. Obviously perks would have boosted players on Cricket 22, how much is dependent on how generous one is with perks. For me, it renders my skill spreadsheet useless (maybe not useless but I've no idea how long it'd take me to rebalance it) cause I use skill points not levels. So, I can't be arsed doing that IPL update I started this morning.
