Still training defending ...

+1 stamina
+2 defending

How bout them Mountaineers!!!!!!!!

That happened to me recently. Two weeks ago, I think.

This week, trained defense:

23 y/o to outstanding defense
22 y/o to formidable defense
25 y/o to brilliant defense
23 y/o to formidable defense
21 y/o to brilliant defense

20 y/o defender to solid passing

RIP - Trogdor training program.

Not horribly happy....

Trained pace.

3 pops (only one I care about)


1 stamina pop - irrelevant b-teamer
1 passing pop - a-team forward up to weak
1 striker pop - a-team defensive mid up to poor. Whee....

i like my general this week...but not my main. trained striker...

20 def popped to weak
19 yo mid popped to good

others?
18 yo mid to good at tech
24 yo def to weak at tech
19 yo mid to hopeless at def
20 yo mid to excellent at pm

does striker take long to train? my strikers haven't been popping, but everyone else seems to...

striker speed of popping is same as everything except pace (pace is slower) and stamina (obviously stamina is fastest).

Of course it's also dependant on your head coach's skills. I assume when you switch to striker training you have unearthly striking on head coach...

how that you have only "good" defense rating with all those strong defenders?

i also get "good" defense rating even though i play with two solid/good defenders so dont always go by the mark ;)

so what does it count then?

thats because you defensive team marks are not ONLY determined by your defenders.



+4 Tech
+2 Pass

all 6 pops were on my 9 healthy trainees.

what determines the ratings?

overall team effectiveness at

a) shooting
b) passing
c) defending

this is a combination of things. the player individual skills, the overall neccessity (and effectiveness) of those skills actually used in the match)

In other words, I think if your shooters are normally solid rated, but they get only 4 shots in a match and lose possession often, they might rate only good.

Conversely, if they score 6 goals then they may rate very good.

what determines the ratings?

in this case, how are the reported ratings helpful to you?

the ratings themselves are only helpful in the sense that, in case you couldnt figure it out yourself, tell you how well your team did, overall, at that aspect of the game (in the match)

basically its determined by the defending of your players that played defense. Not your defenders defending.

If that doesn't make sense, or you want more info, or if your from the ML and claim that I'm wrong. You can look in the useful topics under.

Potentially useful discussions/analysis
Average ratings (discussing how the passing/def etc ratings are calculated in match reports)
