Guide: Understanding the 2016 Training System

[LeManiaque]

I disagree with most of these last few posts about GK Training.

These opinions 1) don't acknowledge the possibilities of mixing GK Training for outfield players. Al's research doesn't indicate that overall skill point is lost using GK Training or other "grey" skill training, just that skill distribution for each position can be manipulated and tuned using "grey" and "white" skill training. Think this is being misinterpreted.

Bigger concern is 2) making unfounded assumptions about the importance of grey/white/ and overall skill balance and development.

There is no way to prove, right now, that a GK with high creativity isn't more effective at using his kicking skill to start a counterattack. Or that speed isn't also used in calculating saves that factor reflexes as well. An AMC might not shoot from as far or as powerfully as his greyed out strength declines. These mechanics and calculations are unknown to use, and Al has put in a lot of effort to keep things facts-based here.

I played against a team whose ML/ AML was the biggest goal threat, but his defense grey skills were below 10%, besides positioning. So, Dick's passing up that lane and walk by him all match. Manager let him become balanced to have negligible defending skills
