Training.

[AzaB]

All the skills of your drills are already very high in average. The game doesn't let your player get better anymore with these drills as he gets too unbalanced.

At this point I would also not suggest training the player anymore. If you want slightly increase some white attributes try Hold The Line, Gym, Sprint, Hurdle Jumps etc. (Drills with lower average skills that also train some white skills of the player)

But if we can't do this then how do we get 8*/9* players? I am training my ALM to 8* right now and am doing it slowly with the 25 rests per day and am getting about 1% skill every training session. If we increase the defense, then does that allow us to get the attacking side up again as normal?
