You could always sell an injured trainee and replace him, though you're right, there is a lot of loss there. I don't have a whole lot of faith in the doctor portion of the team staff. If anyone has any figures on whether my lvl 6 doc is any better than, say, a lvl 3, I'd love to see them. I keep the lvl 6 around for piece of mind.

What I couldn't really factor into my numbers were things like STH, as I have no idea what type of STH loss could be expected while falling through divisions, how much a team of such tiny value would hurt the TV money for an entire league, what sort of merch revenue to expect, etc.

Well, as I recall from an IRC or forum post by a BB... in the old doctor system, the higher the doctor level, the more likely a "5 week injury" got washed out to something shorter. I don't expect they changed that in the new system. But basically, if you go naked on the doctor, a lot of the +1 and +2 injuries you get with your high level doctor could (but may not necessarily) turn into +3 or +4 or +5 injuries.

There were several newly demoted Italy II teams bitching in Globals about losing half of their STHs at the beginning of this season, and losing over half of their gross income from the relegation.

If you're going to 2-position train and lose, why not 6-man training? 48-ing a player isn't that hard, and you don't get messed up that often, especially if you don't actually care about winning.



There just wasn't enough data available for 3-position training (or 1-position, for that matter) when crunched the numbers. Not to mention some things, like RB and DR, can only be trained 2-position (or Team).

3 games a week x 2 positions = 6 man training....

I concur, although when I used to double position train, I'd consistently get 5 players 48 or more minutes. But then again I consider the double position training 'the safe route' as opposed to SP training.. so forcing 6 players in there is overkill and not worth the excitement IMHO.

BTW, only foul trouble or injury should prevent a 48 minute run. I've never had a guy pulled because of a blowout. You must have been doing something wrong. Maybe too many players on the bench (should only have 9 or 8 depending on SP/DP training), SFDC, no backup listed. The same ol same ol.

Just going to copy and paste a forum posting that i made several months ago. Hope this helps...T

Re: "Doctors are useless:" From what we have learned in the past, this statement is not totally true. Supposedly every injury has a certain grade level from say, 1 to 10, 1 being the lightest and 10 being the most severe. Every grade-1 injury allows the player to return by the next game, while every level 10 will mean time off regardless of the skill level of the doctor. Time off for injuries between those two grades will depend on the doctor's skill level. For example, a grade-3 injury might mean a one-week layoff with a level-1 doctor, but no time off for a level-4 one. Likewise, a grade-8 injury would mean a 3-week layoff for a level-1 doctor, but only a 1-week for a level-5 (these examples are only estimations)..I hope that this helps clear up some confusion about the skill levels of doctors...
