Guide: Understanding the 2016 Training System

[LeManiaque]

I've wondered if players could have up to 3 "training factors," but it sounds like it doesn't fit your data and theory. I mean 1 factor when gaining new position out SA, one for highlighted abilities, and last for grey abilities.

Reason I'm interested is explaining long performance life for some players and form drop for others between seasons. For example, an AMC with shooting, speed, dribbling, and finishing all highlight skills around 150. He might stop scoring goals if strength drops below 50 (who knows) after the season star loss. But with high training efficiency rate for grey skills as well as highlighted skills, this AMC may have a longer career. I hope to check some long career players from the "Legends" thread to see if they tend to maintain more balanced skills. Otherwise we might expect to see many individual skills down on single digits by retirement age.

But data doesn't lie, which is why your analysis is great work!
