Special ability

[Skidz]

I put skill points to the players skills, look at it this way, you decide to train a special ability and it takes you a season or more, you get promoted and that player loses a star and has gained a year of age!, during the season you train him his skill quality has stayed the same as all his cones are used on a training the SA! so that player is falling behind on the rest as you go through the season!, if you do get promoted and finaly get his SA is your player still good enough to be in your team?, I say this because a player with Q53 SA against a player with Q 55 could be weaker!, you also need to think that you need to use an 18/19 year old to do it and hope he is a fast trainer! a NORGEN if you can get one!, as I said I did it once never again.

Agreed, I too have done it once, took a season and a half. Never again, buying one with SA saves more time.
Then again, I would usually just focus on my Defending SA: Aerial, Wall... though the SA doesn't always proof working. Perhaps it just in my mind.
