Daily 2% training bonus drop - what time?

[HoofDaddy]

Lol, yes i don't often waste condition% as well, but you don't have to always train for a squad bonus. I.E with GK/ST. I don't care about some 2% squad bonus I have to turn on during the game, I care about maximizing my training effect on my strikers and GKs. Yes getting both is nice, but I will choose the latter each and every time.
I don't think that I'm too far off base with applying real-life concepts that I learned both from reading books on training/managing a football club and from personally playing. If you start a training session without properly warming-up/stretching then injuries will likely occur and your performance will not be optimal. This is fact. This is a game for football enthusiasts, not nerds looking to exploit its programming. You can succeed in this game by taking many different approaches/paths, you're just trying to piece together a map by yelling for directions instead of taking a methodical, testing approach using RL football knowledge/game theory. You also are stubborn and dogmatic and refuse to think outside the box. These can be strengths, but more often they are weaknesses.

You need to watch Real Steel again, then apply that to football.

Today for me it happened between 6 and 7 pm PST. Which means it's happening at the same time for everyone. Is that when the "day" starts? I was always wondering about that. Which time zone is it bride to? Serbia? Doesn't seem to be GMT.

I guess it's different for servers. PST I guess it's UTC +3(in Russia?) I follow +5:30. For me, the day's called at around 8 am when the Europeans don't follow DST, and at 7am when they follow DST.
In that case, the day for you should be 5:30 am for you. But it isn't.

Oh, you're near San Francisco?

For me, usually around 10 AM (GMT +7)

I am in California and the bonus drops at 7 PM PST (Pacific Standard Time), give or take. That's 3 AM GMT. 4 AM in Serbia. The only places where it's midnight would be Buenos Aires, Rio, etc. That's why I half joked that the day change must be on Maradona time. Provided that's where he lives.

3AM GMT is usually when I can't get onto TE, 'Daily Maintenance' is the reason given, so I presume that's when it happens. It would make sense for the Training stats adjustments to be done at the same time. I have noticed that it seems to be taking a little longer with TE2016, so perhaps there's a lot more being done...

Perhaps they figured this would be the time when the fewest TE users are up and about.
