3/16/2010 is approximately the date you started playing, which is about 2 months ago.
2 months = 8 to 10 weeks approximately.

Now how many weeks out of these 8 to 10 weeks did you train ID with a level 4 or higher trainer and with a 19 year old or younger trainee? I'm guessing that you didn't train it much.

So how do you know with such certainty that Inside Defence doesn't train driving?

Just for the record, I am not saying that it does train driving, I just want to know why, given your limited experience, you seem to be 100% sure that Inside Defence doesn't train driving at all.

i think players should be awarded for continuous training. this game needs to add in another factor in addition to the decline in ages. so someone who has been training for 3 seasons straight should be training faster than a new 21 yr old trainee.

"And donnt you think it really does not make sense to improve in DR while training ID ??"

Like I said, I wasn't saying that it does train driving, to be honest I haven't trained ID for 10+ weeks in a row on the same player so I don't know if it trains driving or not.

Hopefully it does train driving :P Because I am training a Center this season and the more training the better :D

okay cheesy cakes, i didnt even read the last 10 posts, but i bet theres nothing but arguing without any reason. so ill give this example in training. I train OD ( outside defence) for a 18year old and 24 year old ( actually i train also a 27 year old too, but i will only compare those 2). the 18 year old takes me like 3 weeks to get an up, because hes a big man ( gonna be an sf) with 206cm, the 24 year old is 188cm and also takes 3weeks to get a pop. So even if my younling was 20cm smaller, i think it would only save me max a week to get a pop ( actually i think that even too much, it would be 2 pops in į weeks) so training a 24year old isnt that bad, especially if he already has quite high skills... I will also try to check how many weeks do i need to get a 27 OD pop ( had already 1 this season, pretty soon it will come) and tell you here. But! dont forget, there are many things that depends on how fast a player gets a pop, like not losing his minutes, the level of coach ( mine's 6), hes height and his other skills.

i already said it, hes 6th

He said he has a level 6 trainer in his post :)

Nice example but the height difference really will offset alot of the age difference.. if the heights were similar then this would be a great example. It is however comforting to read that 24yo still pops with regularity and somewhat disturbing that the height of the 18yo slows him down despite his tender age. This should at least answer the questions of those trying to train someone of the wrong height at age 23-25.

The key thing to note though, is that although you are saying that a 24 year old still trains with regular pops, you need to consider that he is taking 3 weeks to get a pop with a level 6 trainer. A level 4 trainer is probably taking a bit longer.

However, I suppose if you are dedicated enough, you can still train a 24 year old :)
