why would anyone want to train game shape? it goes up on its own if you play the people you want. stamina and free throws are the only team training worth training.

Not necessarily. I'll give you an example: I went into double overtime in the Cup semifinal this season, so some players went above the 80-minute limit. I might have wanted to train Game Shape in order to keep my players in decent shape for the cup final next week.

but did you train them? i've had players go over the 80-minute limit and still be fine...around strong and proficient. and i've never had a player drop below respectable, unless of course i don't play them that much.

In this particular case -- no. I had multiple players in proficient game shape, so I figured I'd be fine. In retrospect, this might have been a mistake, since half of them plummeted to respectable, which is quite a significant difference in terms of performance.

My two best players suffered two week injuries that resulted in a heavy drop in game shape. I should have trained game shape last week but I didn't and now my team is heading into the finals with my two best players fat, lazy, and out of shape.

Once I scored a basket that still makes me laugh.
