Completely agree that these are not no longer necessary. It designed wait time to add difficulty of the game. Now they want to cancel this to please some managers and so it is no longer necessary.
I think we spoke too much how to make the game realistic. Like this or not, auto-assign sp is not realistic. In real world we cannot hold the training effect until we are free to think how to use them. Focus training according to our will, then auto adding result to players is more realistic. I don't dislike auto sp assigning and also make sure of this, but it is not a realistic feature. I don't object to keep it and also think it is a characteristic of this game that attract many managers to play this. But honestly this is not a realistic feature.
