BTW how do people interpret this:

You will now find that your young players will take a lot longer to improve their mental skills, having to rely much more on their natural talent, whereas your older pros will find it easier to improve the mental side of their game due to their maturity.

Does that mean older players will increase secondaries at a faster rate than younger players, or that older players will just increase secondaries at a faster rate than they do now (but younger players will still increase faster)?

 

[andyc]

I assumed it to be saying that an older player will be faster than a younger player.

Mine:

Batting - 66
Bowling - 38
Fielding - 47
Secondaries - 85
Stamina - 46

Batting - 69 (+3)
Bowling - 40 (+2)
Fielding - 46 (-1)
Secondaries - 100 (+15)
Stamina - 51 (+5)

Decent level of improvement in a month and a half, except in fielding which has gone backwards. Expecting a bowling pop when I get my training update today, should be a couple of batting pops not too far away as well.

 

[andyc]

Batting- 47
Bowling- 27
Fielding- 36
Secondaries- 94
Stamina- 46

My first XI hasn't been completely decided on yet, but this is what I think I will be fielding this week:

Batting- 52 (+5)
Bowling- 30 (+3)
Fielding- 29 (-7!)
Secondaries- 82 (-12!!!!!)
Stamina- 45 (-1)

Argh. Really need to improve the fielding. The loss in secondaries and fielding is probably due to me using a few recent youth pulls I bought off the market who only have decent secondaries in their corresponding skill.

Well, it depends on the other teams in your league. If you really need/want to win though, I'd GFI

 

[roseboy64]

OK. I'll do that or go normal.

One stamina to mediocre
One concentration to respectable

Still waiting for ridgewell to pop to strong

He is 3rd in Div III (NZ)
and those prospects look good for me as im leading my Div IV comp with ease

Anyone else having a problem with the java thingy?

Won't update my players.

Have you downloaded the new version of it?

I've attached it in zip form below and I'll take it off again later on in case the guy doesn't want it up here.

What weights do you guys use for that Java tool? Because the defaults don't seem to be that correct.

I have now, thanks!

I had 5 pops, 2 concentration, 1 consistency (on my w/keeper, so not particularly useful), 1 stamina and 1 fielding.

By the way did anyone else have their morale increase/drop by 2 levels yesterday? Also my fitness went up two levels after TIE, previously (for this season) it was 1 level - looks like the TIE/GFI system has gone back to what it was last season if that's consistent with what other people have experienced.

 

[Scaly piscine]

Just had a look through my training records to see how far away players are from popping, wish I hadn't bothered now - I've got a maximum of 2 pops next week, and even those are pretty uncertain and are only secondaries anyway. I'm around a month away from *any* primary pops. Hopefully a good max ITS YP will make it a bit more interesting.
