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....


Ah. Doh. Well the reason I focus on four is because I can't recall ever pulling off six guys at 48 minutes, ever. Someone gets in foul trouble or I get ahead by forty points or something. I'm probably doing something wrong.

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.

Yep. That's it. (The bold part.) I've always had a backup in there somewhere that gets subbed into the wrong position every couple of weeks and eats up garbage minutes. If I have no interest in being competitive (per the blow-up plan), there's little reason I couldn't train six guys, as Jasen suggested.

Hm. I should run the numbers again when I have a minute. This is starting to sound like a better idea all the time.

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...



Thanks for that. I suppose I've gotten a couple of grade-10 injuries the past few seasons then.

As far as the doctor goes, I saw a formula from a BB either in IRC or on the forums specifying how it worked, but I don't remember the specifics, it was under the old Level 1-10 staff system, and I didn't want to muddy the waters with something that might be right.

As far as the Italy people complaining, you've got the star next to your name too ;) -- honestly, I tried searching but none of the search terms I'm entering have turned it up.

Closing in on you?! I'm winning at losing! This season has been a comedy of errors for me, so it felt awesome when I saw that you had won a game. The stud draftee is MINE

Oh, yeah. Forgot the forums had a search function.

Well, I'll be.

OK, I've waded in Global for close to an hour, and I thought I was crying but it turns out that's blood coming out of my eyes.

Was this what you're referring to? (139305.1)
