OK Bigsoccer hattrickers.... what are we training?

[Helghallen]

Playmaking. Stamina in the off season and some passing is in the offing as well.

does training passing for two weeks in the offseason get much in the way of results?

I don't know, but I hope that it does, because I'm doing almost the same thing. I train PM, and this offseason I plan on training passing the entire time, while I probably should do stamina for a week or something, with the changes being made to hattrick, I feel that passing is my more pressing need at the moment.

The person to really ask is Kopite. He is planning on two weeks of passing in the off season. I did a week at the end of last season. It gave me two pops but no real noticable differences in ratings yet. I have picked up several players with high passing and there is a slight difference upward for my ratings.

I'm a PMer, but I'm leaning torward a longterm goal of winger training, as I have some good prospects already for playmaking wingers.

Late last season I did passing training - 4 weeks? Odds are, somebody will bump since you are training two times 5 mids/wings and 2-3 forwards. I've been pretty pleased with my team's abilities this season in regards to scoring goals. Haven't seen many 'assist' events though. I know it's helped my team, just cant Identify how much.

I'll have to go back over my files and figure out how long I did it and who I had pop.

im not going to train stamina in the offseason... i'm just going to buy middies w/good stamina...

(if i have any money at all)

But passing seems like a good idea with the new rule changes.

I am training PM during the regular season and in previous off seasons I have trained stamina and/or passing.

However, I have more or less maxed out my starting mids at excellent stamina.

I have trained passing in the off season before and even gone into the regular season some. I have found it has helped both my midfield and forward ratings.

I have also played all my defenders as middies or forwards to help my counter attacking rating.

IMO two weeks is too short, but I have a couple of players who are close to popping in passing, so will give them a chance to pop this off season.

I did passing training the last four regular weeks of the season last season and once in the offseason. Had 5 players pop. I'll likely get a number of players to pop that didn't last season.

I train playmaking might do 1 or 2 weeks of goalkeeping soon because i got 2 inadequte keepers but they are about 5-10% away from passable
