Only where the rulings for each skill are concerned. I don't have the books in front of me at the moment, unfortunately, so I don't have an easy way to check. Direct hire has the benefit of allowing you to consistently play the star player (you're otherwise depending on your treasury having enough in it or your opponent having a much higher team rating than you), while the inducement has the benefit of the star player not taking up part of your roster. Models with the Loner (X+) special rule (most Big Guys have it as well) need to perform a roll when using a Team Re-Roll, the target being the value of X. If the roll is failed, the player cannot perform the re-roll, and the Team Re-Roll is spent regardless of pass or fail. It's often recommended that one of the first advances a player with this trait has them taking the Pro skill. Rather than try to roll what is typically a 4+ to use a team-wide resource, Pro grants a once-per-turn chance for that player to re-roll the result on a 3+ without tapping into said resource. For some teams, especially those that pay a pretty penny for them or can't afford to buy very many when drafted, that is a huge deal.
I'm wondering how things will change with Season 3. I think we only have the one Warhammer Community article to go by, but it has some interesting clues. Maybe this time around the changes to the teams will be more substantial. When taking a Star Player, which option do you usually go with? I found this chart on some NAF website (https://member.thenaf.net/index.php?module=NAF&type=statistics). Not sure how good it is, but it's interesting: As was mentioned earlier, the stunty teams are right at the bottom, alongside the Black Orcs for some reason.
That kind of statement is a very big reason why I'm leery of anything that comes out of WarCom that isn't a model preview. Until we have a complete ruleset in front of us to read through, I'm not interested in whatever breadcrumbs they try to feed the ducklings with. Once in a blue moon I'll bring out Glart Smashrip as an inducement, but for the most part my gaming group doesn't really use star players when re-rolls and wandering apothecaries are more valuable. We have some of the models (I have all of the Skaven ones myself), but it's far more likely that they'll be used as regular team players instead if they don't otherwise stand out like a sore thumb.
