Sadly like many features we discuss in this game the training bonus seems to be just visual .Abandoned teams don't have it so why do they still surprise us. It all comes down to being prepared to the best we can before the matches to have some peace of mind for ourselves. In the end all our preparation is not worth much since the results show otherwise. I read in some thread that even the live animation does not represent what happens in the pitch so its even harder to tell if these features even make an impact. Basically let's just have fun preparing our players and setting up the tactics cause we can't make sense of what happens during the match.
