80.99.8.209: /* Suggested Countries (Javasolt országok) */

There is a country in Central Europe where this great game has been played for 12 seasons. In spite of its small population there are more than 7000 Hattrick players among its inhabitants, and our devotion is best proven by the achievements of our National Teams:
-Couple of time they managed to qualify to the TOP 16
-Managed to be 3rd on the unofficial European Championship

For a visitor the language spoken here might seem strange, but that's because it's unique. Just like our culture, the beauty of our landscape, and last but not least our stadiums, many of them more than adequate to host world cup games.

Our HT community is looking forward to an event fit for our devotion and diligence, and of course for the stadiums we build up, to be organized in our country.

Hungary to host next World Cup!

80.99.8.209: /* Training types */

== Importance of training ==

Training is one of the most important aspects of a successful [[team]] in Hattrick. By concentrating on training just one [[skills|skill]] for a number of seasons a team can take medium skilled, young [[players]] and train them up to become superstars, who can then be sold for a handsome profit. Thus improving the team and helping the team to eventually to win [[promotion]].

But the monetary side is only one side of the medal. Each training type has also non monetary (dis-)advantages. For example a playmaking trainer can't train his players efficiently in the later [[cup]] rounds or a goalkeeper trainer is not limited in specific [[formations]].

== Choosing trainees ==

Choosing the correct players to train is a balancing act. There are four factors to consider.
* Main skill ([[goalkeeping]], [[defending]], [[playmaking]], [[winger]] or [[scoring]])
* Age
* Secondary skills, related to the main skill
* Price

There is little to be gained from training players that are not at least [[skills#Player_abilities_etc|passable]] in their main skill, although for new players 17 year olds with inadequate main skill should be considered.
Training a player who is passable or solid in primary skill is not as profitable as training higher skills, but lower skilled players cost considerably less to purchase.
To get some ideas of the cost and profit from various skill increases see
[http://www.lokesoftware.dk/ham/hamtpestats.cfm?Skill=1 HAM Transfer Price Evaluation]

As players age, they decrease in price, so buying slightly older players (eg 18 or 19 year olds) is often wise.

The better the secondary skills, the more you will pay to purchase the trainee, but the final selling price will also be higher.

== Training types ==

In Hattrick, training takes place once a week. Typically only players who played on certain positions are fully trained depending on the skill you are training. If, for instance, [[Forward|forwards]] are being trained then only the players that played as a forward in one of the two games that week receive training. Note that only last played [[:Category:Player_positions|position]] matters for training.
There are 12 types of training. Each have their own potential for generating profit or improving your team. Generally the training types that concentrate on one of the main skills ([[goalkeeping]], [[defending]], [[playmaking]], [[wing]]er, and [[scoring]]) are the most popular training types.

</TABLE>

Please note the 'Training Speed' numbers are based on 17 year old trainees, using a [[Denominations|solid]] coach, and 9 [[Specialists |assistants]].

There is a theory that claims that for each year above 17 you should add one week (or a fraction of a week) of training. Another theory is, that training speed is depreciated with approximately 8% each year above 17 years of age.

Also note that these training speed values are given as an average, and can (and will) vary from player to player. This means, for example, that if the value presented for a given training is 7 weeks, some players will take 6, others 8, but if you look at a large number of players they should average at 7.

== Training efficiency factors ==
=== Effect of coach ===
To achieve the optimal training time requires a [[coach]] with solid coaching skills.
A coaching level below that lengthens training time. A general rule of thumb is one extra week for every level below solid, although this rule is not so accurate with the faster training types.

[[Skills#Coach_skills_/_Form_/_Leadership|Excellent]] coaches train slightly faster than solid ones by roughly half a week but are generally seen as too expensive to be profitable in the long term.

=== Effect of player age ===
Young players train much faster than old players. To achieve the optimal training time your trainees need to be between under 20, with 17 year olds being the best.

Older players are much slower to train, and a good rule of thumb is one extra week for every year older than 17. More precisely, training becomes 8-9% slower for every year above this.

Certain training types - namely set pieces, stamina and general - work exactly the same, no matter what age the player is.

As a player reaches 27 his abilities may start decreasing. This process doesn't occur constantly, and there is no guarantee it will happen at all. Typically, very small decreases occur for players around 30, considerably larger leaps for players around 35. For some reason, these decreases in abilities always surface on Mondays. porn Certain skills are harder to maintain as players grow older - scoring ability is the hardest to maintain, whilst goalkeeping is the easiest.

It's very hard to maintain stamina above the level of "excellent" for a long period of time. All players just above the dividing line between "excellent" and the level under it are successively pressed downwards. There's a limit to how well the human body can perform.

 

=== Effect of assistants ===
[[Assistant coach]]es also help with training. A team may only have 10 of any one type of [[staff]]. However assistant coaches and [[goalkeeping coach]]es are treated as one type, so a team may only have a combined total of 10 coaches. Typically non-goalkeeping training teams employ 9 assistant coaches and 1 goalkeeping coach. It is believed that a goalkeeping coach helps to maintain the [[form]] of the keeper. Other people prefer a 8 to 2 split between coaches.

Some users claim it is possible to have 11 coaches without seeing any ill effects, but many users have lost training when trying this.

It is not always in a teams best interest to hire all the possible assistants. The effect of each additional assistant decreases fast. E.g. having 5 GK coaches instead of 10 will slow GK training all the way from solid to divine by 1 week only. This is approximately 2 years of real time!

Clubs in financial difficulty should always bear this in mind when trying to make savings.

=== Training intensity ===
Most team managers agree it is best to train at 100% intensity. The benefits are clear in that skills increase more quickly, and there is also the likelihood of better [[form]].

Unfortunately, there is also an increased chance of [[injury]].

== When to cash in ==

In most cases [[transfers|selling]] trainees at age 21 is the best way to maximise profit. Once a player hits 21 years old, he begins to train at a noticably slower rate compared to a younger player.

With particularly high skilled players, especially [[National Teams|National Team]] players, training can be taken on further, but in general the financial returns decrease beyond the age of 21.

It is also worth noting it is possible to overtrain a player, and make him unsustainable in the long run due to the extremely high [[wages]].

Skills

80.99.8.209: /* Set Pieces */

==Skills==

Skills are a key aspect of Hattrick, determining how well the players play, and what [[wages]] you will have to pay them every week. they also determine the [[TSI]] of a player

In Hattrick, skill levels are shown as the terms ranging from [[Denominations|disastrous]] to [[Denominations|divine]]. In many situations it is convenient to use numerical skill values instead of terms, and these numbers can be found [[What The Words Mean| here]].

Skill levels on Hattrick are alway rounded down. If you are interested in exact skill levels, check the [[subskill]]s page.

Players may need different Skills depending on their position. There are primary, secondary and some are even talking of tertiary skills.

For example a [[winger]]'s main skill is [[wing]], [[passing]], [[playmaking]] and [[stamina]] are secondary skills. [[defending]] would be considered a tertiary skill.

The Hattrick community often uses ''a-skill'', ''b-skill'' and ''c-skill'' instead of primary, seconday and tertiary.

===Stamina===

[[Stamina]] is absolutely vital for any players who use playmaking. If a player does not have enough stamina, a serious drop in their playmaking contribution will be noticed, particularly during the second half of matches.

In addition to this main use, it is somewhat important for other players (see [[Special Event]]) and [[Pressing]].

===Playmaking===

Together with stamina, [[Playmaking]] is the most important skill for all midfielders, especially the [[inner Midfielder|inner]] ones. It is also used by defensive forwards and offensive defenders. Offensive wingbacks use a tiny bit as well. As noted above, this skill is used in conjunction with stamina.

===Wing===

[[Wing]] skill refers to the ability to create scoring opportunities by advancing down the sides. This is obviously most useful for [[winger]]s (''a-skill''), although [[Wingback]]s also are able to profit from it. A [[forward toward wing]] will also benefit ''a lot'' from this skill.

The most effective [[training]] type to improve the wing skill is [[crossing]].

===Scoring===

The ball is supposed to go into the net, and [[scoring]] ability makes sure it gets there. It is the most important ability for [[forward]]s, but not particularly important for anyone else. Any player with good scoring skill combined with good set pieces skill can score on a long shot special event.

The most efficient [[training]] type to improve scoring is [[scoring]].

===Goalkeeping===

[[Goalkeeping]] is the ability that [[goalkeeper]]s use (and they need it a lot!) However, as it is the only skill they need, they rarely have any ability in other areas. The only other way to increase the performance of a goalkeeper other than training his goalkeeping skill is to have him gain [[experience]].

===Passing===

The scorer gets the credit, but the player giving him the decisive pass is just as important. Both forwards and midfielders, including wingers, profit from being good at this. [[Passing]] is also very important for use with tactics. It helps to compute ratings for [[Counter Attack]], [[Attack on Wings]] and [[Attack in the Middle]].

Inner midfielders, and forwards contribute to the central attack rating by their passing ability. Wingers played offensively, normal or defensively use their passing to contribute to side attacks. There is some debate about the contribution of passing on a winger towards middle.

The most efficient [[training]] type to train passing is [[short passes]].

===Defending===

[[Defending]] skill controls a player's ability to stop opponent's attacks. Unconditionally the most important ability for all types of [[defenders]]. Midfielders may also put this ability to good use.

It is also relevant on all players when using the [[Pressing]] tactic.

The most efficient [[training]] type to increase the defending skill is [[Defending]].

Defending is also a great way to make money as long as the players are better then Excellent or better and they're YOUNG, you can get $500,000+ for that.

===Set Pieces===

One player is appointed for [[Set Pieces]]. He'll take all free kicks, corners, penalties, and in case of a penalty shoot-out, he'll take the first penalty. In all cases, lots of skill is needed in this area.

There is also the possibility of a long shot [[Special Event]] related to set pieces for which the probability increases with a high scoring skill.

Increasing the set pieces skill does not affect the [[TSI]] and the [[wages]].
