Larker Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 Is it just me or whenyou sell a player mid season does anyone else make a training schedule with intensive aerobic, strength and goalkeeping. As to "ruin" the player you have sold. i know its unrealistic but its dog eat dog in the championship! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dafuge Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 On one of the older versions you could set a player to retrain his position to a GK before you sold him, rendering him completely useless in the future. No idea if it that still works though, it was a long time ago. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damian227 Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 I signed two young Italian's with the same first name and similar surnames... got confused and accidently had my defender training as a keeper for a whole season... he's no longer considered the future greatest centreback so yeah I've found this out but screwed myself lol Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smurf Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 I have a training schedule called "traitor" I use it for when a youth player I have doesn't sign a new contract with me but decides to join another club for free. I hate that. So I made the "traitor" training schedule. I set everything to zero. And then I put him back in the Under 18's or the reserve, whichever will have him. He then goes to his new team in 6 months time. Totally ruins them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larker Posted August 13, 2009 Author Share Posted August 13, 2009 haha ive done that aswell now, put this 25 yr old ive sold in the u18s hes going to go to hull a striker/sweeper, long shooter with a poor rating, without any match practice and dead from running 24/7. ignorance is bliss Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shottaz Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 Rahaha you evil people. I nearly player named then but I have a player who is being transferred in a few months and i'm just not playing him. Might check if its a rival club and then aim to ruin him. Telling the press he sucks would be funny too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

InterWolf Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 Because of the way the game is coded training a stiker to be CB would drastically improve him... basically: Attribute weightings decide how much CA a high attribute 'takes' ie shooting is more important to a striker than tackling and is reflected as such. So when you get a striker/cb the weightings are spread between the two... so shooting is now half its weight. The real striker has presumably has low tackling (which now has a higher weighting) therefore freeing up more of the CA to be distributed amongst other attributes. Long story short - can make your players much much better. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

joeissimo Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 hahhaaha I did exactlly that!I put all the players who betray me or dislike me on the training schedule called... "HELL"!!! :D I remember in CM4? You can set your training schedule from monday to sunday, 3 sessions a day, morning afternoon and night? Then Id fully book all my HELL players on a schedule with no rest whatsoever, just running the forest,weight lifting,sprint then more running,more weight lifting and more sprint!!!!!hahaha it just cracked me when they said they are unhappy with their training schedule with their condition wandering around 50% and then eventually...get injured!! I had a lot of fun with these ppl and that serves them right and warn my current players dont even think for a second to betray me,I'll ruin you!because... I can!!!!

dafuge Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 It doesn't And you can't retrain goalkeepers It must have been a bug from an earlier version then. The most amusing part was that they would continue learning to become a GK while at the new club, the change in position would happen months after he had been sold.

Zweibeiner Posted August 15, 2009 Share Posted August 15, 2009 When I played in India, I had a special training schedule especially for players who didn't want to renew their contracts, so that when they left and signed for other Indian league teams (they had no other option) they'd be utter pants. I remember one time, I managed to retrain a young DL into a striker, but with intensive GK training. Amazingly, a team signed him up despite his ruined stats and even more amazingly they played him up front! Needless to say, they got relegated and said player didn't trouble the top scorers.

Larker Posted August 15, 2009 Author Share Posted August 15, 2009 Whats the bet that he will get the 30 yard goal in the dying minutes of the cup final against you. Very likely, i do deserve to have something like that happen to me. after his move the striker, who moved to hull, has played 28 games for the club, scoring a big fat ZERO, with an average rating of 5.45.

Thrustking56 Posted August 15, 2009 Share Posted August 15, 2009 I did this on a network game, me and a friend usually have a system where by we don't try to buy each others players cept he broke this (Board auto accepted offer) so for a good 8 months this £47.5m striker was learning the fine art of goal keeping, when he left my club my mate was astounded as to how his £47.5m investment's stats had dropped so quickly Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
