Subject: Pace Training

It appears slower on my 22 yos but my very talented younger trainees are not affected.

Pace training has a huge advantage if you're into tactics. I'm free to play any formation I want without affecting training. 4:4:2 , 3:4:3, 3:5:2, 3:4:1:2 have all been used so far and more are coming.

I agree that we can keep the current training spots limits but it would be nice if we could select which players will receive "Individual" training without having to play them in a game. It would free-up the tactical aspect of the game.

Are you suggesting that pace training be made better yet besides being able to train 22 players?

no,

example: Training 6 strikers without having to play 3:4:3

The 6 trainees would be hand picked. The trainees not being played will train but would not be gaining experience. A trainee that never played a game would need to gain match experience later on.

that's a large part of the strategy of the game, to me...

Much less to choose from as a manager if you dn't have to juggle that. Shrug.

I love changing formation but when I train strikers, I have no choice but to use 3:4:3. A better formation could have worked better but I'm bounded by the chosen training.

Free the game, what do you think?

i think this belongs on the bugs/ideas forum ;) (will move it there once you notice this)

My opinion is i like that strategical aspect of tying training to position played honestly. But my opinion is just that, mine :)

The thing is, you're not tied to a specific formation. You can play one of your striker trainees as a winger with an ATT order, for instance.

I do that all the time.

It's more of a problem when you're trying to train a striker (by position and skills) with a MID order, when training tech for example...

Harsh to not give your strikers actual orders to shoot :)

As an ATT the winger will hold the ball too long and shot too often. I would be better off playing 3:4:3

there's also a reason strikers are so expensive. only 6 get trained.

Shame the same effect hasn't impacted the keeper market.

I play 1 of my strikers as sort of a defensive/wing striker. He is usually behind the other ones and can either choose to pass the ball or take it in. He seems to feed Le Breton well.

My younger traines are passing the ball a lot better than my older strikers. They have more PM and passing. Maybe this will help me when they're ready.

As of now, in many games that I've played the 3rd striker have been dead weight.

So far I haven't missed my 2nd winger this season. Overall I would say my team is better in the 4-3-3 I'm using this season.

"As an ATT the winger will hold the ball too long and shot too often. I would be better off playing 3:4:3"

That isn't the problem I've had when cross training.

I love the idea and totally agree with it.
