موضوع: Het Nederlandse Team

Suc6, ben zelf nog te veel aan het bouwen dus duurt nog wel eventjes voordat je last van mij gaat krijgen

Ik weet hoe ik ze moet trainen.
Maar door mijn lange afwezigheid zijn ze wel erg slecht getraind. Zelfs een vleugelspeler is op 387 passen terecht is gekomen . Die train ik nu maar als verdediger.

Alles traint zins eind vorig seizoen weer zoals ze zouden moeten. Het heeft alleen wel even de tijd nodig voor ze allemaal weer goed staan (en een aantal zullen dat zelfs nooit halen).

Geeft niets. Komt vanzelf goed als je ze goed blijft trainen. En dan komen er vanzelf meer spelers van je in de Nationale teams.

I finally translated Lillian Team manager's training post and, even though not well translated, I agree. I emphasize with GM's who do not have a ProPack because keeping up with adjusting the training attribute is a pain in the ass. Still, anything close is good enough. Also, i agree with comment that a player can be weak in one attribute if their training number is very poor. For example, a defenceman who is not very aggressive is not a big problem as long as the other numbers are basically right. I have two centers on my club team who shoot very poorly but I try to play them with the best shooting wingers to compensate for this. The most important thing, in my mind, is that there is an effort to keep the guys as close to the ideal as possible. That is enough.

Let's applaud for google translate

Hey,
I will start by saying how happy and proud I am to keep the job of the Dutch U20 team. Even more importantly though is the way that it happened. This will be my fifth season with the club. When I started, the Dutch didn’t have a goalie for the first season. More significantly though is that I received one, at most two votes for each of the other elections that I have won. This season there were EIGHT votes! I don’t care about this from my standpoint. I simply mean that eight of you guys decided to vote, which means the interest level in the Dutch national teams are growing, and that is the most important thing possible.
As for the team, I added the core guys last week. I will select a handful more this week. This season, unlike last, will see a major issue in net. We have three sub-par goalies that are worse than the U18 starter. I really tried my best to get IJS’ van de Leur. I got into a bidding war with two (pretty shitty) clubs and one of them finally got the guy for $4.5 million. I stopped bidding at $2 million. Remember here, the IJS manager CUT the guy outright, didn’t even try to sell him. He is an awful goalie with terrible training numbers. My standards may be low but not that low. Yeah, he is still on the national team but that is because there really isn’t anyone else out there. I have contacted Stonecity and have put his two best guys on the team. They aren’t good enough but, with proper training (in his Level 15 facility), their combination of proper training ratios and very high experience should make for at least a passable tandem in net.
Defence is better. Not a lot but some. Please consider Lillian’s manager and my comments on Technique. Wing might be better than last season. This remains the strongest part of the team. Center is slightly deeper and improved but is still awful to be honest. This season’s team continues to grow deeper and perhaps better. Significantly, I cut four guys from last season’s roster since they were no longer needed. Also, I don’t think that I have to fill out the entire roster of fifty guys since the balance between chemistry and skill is closing a bit. I don’t know how much better this club can do at the Worlds (primarily because of our goaltending) but the tactics percentages are where I want them and the club is largely balanced.
Thanks again folks! I really appreciate the opportunity!

Thanks for the explanation Paul.

Hit tactics and outshooting Bosnia 2-1 and still losing 4-7 says it all. I did my best to work with the Stone City Merchant guy but to no avail. Disheartening is a massive understatement...
