You can still get all the globals out of it.
The top GPU and CPU will always hold the global cards as previous scores will have less value as beaten by new gen, Ran by sponcers and set up to benifit sponcers .... LOL so the new cards and CPU's are a must for top level competition still.
Now to maximize boints all levels of each gen will be required to exploit the system. Ran by sponcers and set up to benifit sponcers ....
you see if you really look at the numbers it is set up for one thing and one thing only. benifit the sponcers .........
I look at it as the just re-malched the playgound .......... lots of splinters when it is new and it stinks
repeat hardware is only good towards team total if said result is in your personal top 20 and if second only 10% and top 15 globals 100%
The the way I am looking at buying now for personal gain is simple
Globals = total/15
Hardware = Total/20
My case for example
166.3 Globals = and average of 11.08 (Keep in mind this is an average)
So looking at hardaware in that scence I need to be able to do better than 11.8 for global revunue as of today to be worth my money
383.6 = and average of 19.18
and better than 19.18 for hardware
GPP's and HPP's are only awarded to the top, this is where hardawre diversity comes in
Fro team boints it is real simple, just buy something no one else on the team has benched yet
If eveyone on the team grabbed a card that no one else has benched yet, it significantly boost the team total as opposed to everyone going out and buying the same card and only realizing HPP's once and 10% of hardware
I think this is right but still trying to get my head wrapped around this
If it is correct I have to hand it to them, this is the best system yet for maximizing corprate profits .... simple marketing genius
