[Tips for individual training]

Hello!

When I try to improve a weakness for a player using individual training almost everyone start complaining that it's useless and they show no sign of improving. Is there anything more I can do to help them overcome their weakness?

For example, I have a wonderful 20 year old winger but his stamina is only 9 and I play a gegenpressing tactic. Over the 1 and a half season he's been with me he hasn't improved his stamina at all. All his other physical stats are great. Now, I'd rather have him not improve in anything else if only he could increase his stamina which for me is his only weakness.

One would think that a young good physical player in with decent determination would be able to increase his endurance a bit if that was his main focus.

I'm experiencing this aswell after creating match plans? Is it possible to turn it off? I'd like to use the match plans to decrease the intensity after a 2+ goal lead for example, but I'm still watching all matches thoroughly and obviously want to be in full control over my substitution.

Yeah, I think social interaction is the weakest part of the game. So repetitive, unlogic and contradictive.

Players getting mad at me saying I'm way too ambitious after saying we should aim to avoid relegation after just finishing 2nd place. The media asking me if I would prefer my decent Allsvenskan defender over Sergio Ramos.

Rather than adding realism and immersion to the game it takes you out of it. Reworking social interaction feels like a relatively easy way to improve the game enormously.

[Is there more to player ability then what's apparent on paper?]

Hi!

I was recently scouting two wingbacks very carefully before buying one over the other because the was much cheaper and a bit younger.

They had similar attributes, personalities etc only one was rated lower and was much cheaper which is why I went with him.

Now I was wondering if there is something I missed or if there can be something hidden which is why the other player is considered much better.

How come one is supposedly a leading player in my league and the other is only decent? What am I missing? I admit Kitolano might be slightly better, but really that much? I think Wallenberg's defensive stats should outweight Kitolano's better acceleration and dribbling.

I understand the reports are coming from different staff members, but it was the same thing when I was just scouting Wallenberg. And it's not just the reports. Kitolano is valued alot more(was recently bought for 14m, while I bought Wallenberg for 2,75m). Wallenborg was also never played in his previous club and was only in the reserve(!) team for a club in my league).

So it seems every AI person in my save thinks Wallenborg is a much worse player than Kitolano. Do they know something I don't? Should I trust the scouts opinions more than attributes when scouting for new players?

Also, these two are just an recent example. I find myself quite often stumble upon players(in or outside my team) whose reported ability contradicts the attributes compared to other players in same role.
