Subject: Questions & Answers

It's all about testing !
Anyways, I said 'I guess' ..

LOL holy shit! I would loooooove to see that happening m'y friend...that's what i've been waiting for since day one in this Game depth in Game engine would make it soooo cool! Thanks ^^

on lines rating definitely not (i tested it), but they claim it does have an impact on engine...

same as passing for wings

maybe it has an influence. BUT: if you train a center with 50 defending it's better to train him 30 attack and 15 of passing and tec! so I'm sorry to say but I'm sure it's worthless to train attackers with defending and vice versa... so I hope this will change with new game engine!

No way to scare Mr.Dracula especially he's m'y friend, it would ne funny though. Anyway he succeeded to scare me a while ago with a video on YouTube about a huge snake

Lol...Mr. Dracula ! That's a nice nickname !

i do not train att on defenders and visa versa

I did it... and it was couterproductive, I'm sure! But I hope that with new GE it will be better...

but than is question how much do you need? max 10% of mainskill? and not all players are able to train on def or att. so why should i lose progress in def/att and byskills

Actually it does have a weird impact. The influence seems to depend on the off/def ratio.

Let's take a winger that you want train defense. He practices defense atty and surely becomes better, but only up to a certain percentage of the primary atty. That percentage varies with every player and I found no dependane on player qualities. It can be 50% for one, 10% for another. If you keep training him defense beyound that percentage he will sudenly become worse. I tested that by counting scoring situations, creative pass situations and other things to give every player a performance rating, for overall 53 forwards. Then I put those numbers into a graph with defense on the x-axis, performance on the y-axix. The result was pretty much a sine wave.

Now I doubt they wanted the engine to behave sine wavily. And maybe there are other hidden influences we don't know about. Energy loss is a big factor, too. But still intersting to see such graphs. It's a motivator to keep testing new things.

Well, analysing anything based on live reports is pretty priceless (but thats my opinion and i ofcourse could be wrong).

But I agree with you that def for att and att for def counts in team/line strenghts - as far as i trust my calculation of TS : ) but it is pretty small number, about 0,3-1 per player. I think that later it could be worth (to try) to train some players in oposite main attributes especialy for defensive/PP formations.

Even you theory about off/def ratio is interesting I think it is much simplier that defensive attribute for forwards (and vice versa) calculates as thought he is defender, so standard calculation with main/secondary attributes with multiplier applies.

Analyzing on live reports is totally awesome and funky!

live text is a pro feature, you can not add important statistics there

ok, so this is a reason to make it free for all managers...
