Talk:Training

Theschneer:

I have added when to cash in, and also a minor change to general, as general (although very minimally) does train keepers

----

Do alot of people not train till 21, might be worth mentioning that for balance.
The bit on form about goalkeeping was there, just not very clear really.
So I've tidyed it up so hopefully it is clear now that general trains goalkeeping and also that shooting trains set pieces

----

I feel personally that 21 is getting on a bit, so I put 20, but that said if the general consensus is 21 it can be changed
----
As team gets stronger, it becomes important to find the balance between trainable and playable players, therefore I'd say, that 21 y.o. are not too old for training.
----
With through passes, you can train 20 people, not 18. You could play twice 5-5-0.

you can indeed train 20 as you can with defensive position
however since you can't gain formation experience I did not count them.

In reality each training type could well have a page to itself detailing all the ins and outs
profit potential/formations to use/ways to balance winning games and using that type of training

Since training is so vital to hattrick it is no harm to strive to create a real definitive guide to all the options
----
What do you think about adding section with pros and cons of different training types? -- [[User:Jablan|jablan]]

I agree completely but the differences between each choice is non trivial. To present all the facts I think it would be worthwhile having a page for each training type, except general :), outlining the amount of people doing it, potential profitability, cost of trainees, important secondaries, what formations it limits you to and other such considerations --[[User:Theschneer|Theschneer]] 19:16, 25 November 2005 (UTC)

Talk:Tactics

2005-11-25T17:44:44Z

Theschneer:

What are we going to do with this in terms of page outlay - should each tactic get its own separate page or should they all stay below like they are now? We can't have both I suppose, but we ''do'' have both now.

I also dislike the links from abbreviations, which should be fixed as soon as we have made the decision above.

Shout people!

I took out the idea of AOW and AIM being dependent upon your series ladder level. 1, it's confusing. 2, it's not proven. Opinion is not a good idea in a Wiki, unless stated as such.

Each tactic should have it's own page. They're an important aspect of the game

This tactics page could be a nice general tactic page
explaining formations, player orders, tactics for training types, and match tactic orders
and then link to far more detailed info on all the above on other pages like the 3-4-3 page or the FTW page etc

== 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]].

== 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, [[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 [[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 ([[Players#Goalkeeping |goalkeeping]], [[Players#Defending | defending]], [[Players#Playmaking | playmaking]], [[ Players#Winger | winger]], [[Players#Scoring | scoring]]) are the most popular training types.

</TABLE>

Please note the 'Training Speed' numbers are based on 17 year old trainees, using a [[Skills#Coach_skills_/_Form_/_Leadership|solid]] coach, and 9 [[Specialists |assistants]].

== 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 17-18.
Players older than that will generally train slower. Again the rule of thumb is one extra week for every year older than 18. More precisely, training is 8-9% slower with each additional year.

=== Effect of assistants ===
[[Assistant coaches]] also help with training. A team may only have 10 of any one type of [[employees]]. However assistant coaches and [[goalkeeping coaches]] 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 with keepers' [[form]]. Some hire more goalkeeping coaches and others argue that it is possible to have 10 assistant coaches and 1 goalkeeping coach with no adverse effects on the team, but some users have reported training losses after 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. Clubs in finical difficulty will often sacrifice some coaches.

=== Training intensity ===
Most team managers agree it is best to train at 100% intensity. It is believed that is brings beneficial effects to the [[form]] of the team, when training at the fastest pace possible. It is also believed that the chance of [[injuries]] raises with the training intensity.

== 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 [[wages|wage restrictions]].

== Choosing trainees ==
Choosing the correct players to train is a balancing act. There are four factors to consider.
* Training skill
* Age
* Secondary skills
* Price

There is little to be gained from training players that are not at least [[skills#Player_abilities_etc|passable]] in their training skill.
Training a player who is passable or solid in primary skill is not as profitable as training higher skills.
But players of these lower skills 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]

17 year olds with high skills are expensive. On the other hand, older players train slower.

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

* Price

There is little to be gained from training players that are not at least [[skills#Player_abilities_etc|passable]] in their training skill.
Training a player who is passable or solid in primary skill is not as profitable as training higher skills.
But players of these lower skills 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]

17 year olds with high skills are expensive. On the other hand, older players train slower.

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

Theschneer: /* Importance of training */

== 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]].

== 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, [[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 [[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 ([[Players#Goalkeeping |goalkeeping]], [[Players#Defending | defending]], [[Players#Playmaking | playmaking]], [[ Players#Winger | winger]], [[Players#Scoring | scoring]]) are the most popular training types.

</TABLE>

Please note the 'Training Speed' numbers are based on 17 year old trainees, using a [[Skills#Coach_skills_/_Form_/_Leadership|solid]] coach, and 9 [[Specialists |assistants]].

== Training efficiency factors ==
=== Effect of coach ===
To achieve the optimal training time you need 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.
[[Skills#Coach_skills_/_Form_/_Leadership|excellent]] coaches train slightly faster (roughly half a week) than solid ones 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 17-18.
Players older than that will generally train slower. Again the rule of thumb is one extra week for every year older than 18. More precisely, training is 8-9% slower with each additional year.

=== Effect of assistants ===
[[Assistant coaches]] also help with training. You may only have 10 of any one type of [[employees]]. However assitant coaches and [[goalkeeping coaches]] 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 with keepers' [[form]]. Some hire more goalkeeping coaches and others argue that it is possible to have 10 assitant coaches and 1 goalkeeping coach with no adverse effects on the team, but some users have reported training losses after trying this.

If you are short of money or a newbie with limited budget, there is no point in hiring all the possible assistants. The effect of additional ones 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.

=== Training intensity ===
Most team managers agree it is best to train at 100% intensity. It is believed that is brings beneficial effects to the [[form]] of the team, when training at the fastest pace possible. It is also believed that the chance of [[injuries]] raises with the training intensity.

== When to cash in ==

In most cases [[transfers|selling]] your 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 [[wages|wage restrictions]].

== Choosing trainees ==
Choosing the correct players to train is a balancing act. There are four factors to consider.
* Training skill
* Age
* Secondary skills
* Price

There is little to be gained from training players that are not at least [[skills#Player_abilities_etc|passable]] in their training skill.
Training a player who is passable or solid in primary skill is not as profitable as training higher skills.
But players of these lower skills cost considerably less to purchase.

Youth Squad Improvements

2005-11-25T15:10:10Z

Theschneer:

It will take some time to see improvements in your youth squad. On the maximum investment level (€20k), it will take the following amount of time to rise to the next level

{| border="1" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="2" rules="all" style="margin:1em 1em 1em 0; border:solid 1px #AAAAAA; border-collapse:collapse; background-color:#F9F9F9; font-size:100%; empty-cells:show;"
| '''Level Change''' || '''Time'''
|----
|Disastrous to Wretched || 1 week
|----
|Wretched to Poor || 1 week
|----
|Poor to Weak || 1 week
|----
|Weak to Inadequate || 2 weeks
|----
|Inadequate to Passable ||4 weeks
|----
|Passable to Solid || 8 weeks
|----
|Solid to Excellent || 1 season (16 weeks)
|}

With lower investments these times all increase but note that with minimum investment (€5k), your squad will only rise to inadequate, and with medium investment (€10k), the squad will not improve beyond passable

==History==
The Irish league started in May of 2001. djcoconut was the first user to create a team, Balygub FC, who promptly won promotion to the Irish premier division in their first season and became overall league champions the following season. It was to be the club's only victory as DaBudgie's team Killagoola took control of the Irish premier for the next 6 seasons while Balygub FC slipped down the divisions. In those early days Galway was the center of the Irish hattrick universe.

The Irish league has since grown to over 800 users though it has been slower to develop than other nations. Galway is still a very strong region but Dublin & Cork, the largest population centers, are slowly challenging the Galway dominance.

== Importance of training ==
Training is one of the most important aspects of a successful team in hattrick. By concentrating on training just one 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 your team and helping you in your quest to win promotion.

== Training types ==

Training takes place once a week in hattrick. Typically only certain players are trained depending on the skill you are training. If forwards are being trained then only the players that played as a forward in one of the two games that week receives training.
There are 12 types of training. Each have there own potential for generating profit or improving your team. Generally the training types that concentrate on one of the main skills (goalkeeping, defending, playmaking, winger, scoring) are the most popular training types.

</TABLE>

== Effect of coach ==
To achieve the optimal training time you need 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.
Excellent coaches train slightly faster (roughly half a week) than solid ones 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 trainies need to be between 17-18.
Players older than that will generally train slower. Again the rule of thumb is one extra week for every year older than 18.

== Effect of assistants ==
Assistants coaches also help with training. You may only have 10 of any one type of [[Employees]]. However assitant coaches and goalkeeping coaches are treated as one type so a team may only have a combined total of 10 coaches. Typically teams employ 9 assistant coaches and 1 goalkeeping coach. It is believed that a goalkeeping coach helps with keepers' form. Some hire more goalkeeping coaches and others argue that it is possible to have 10 assitant coaches and 1 goalkeeping coach with no adverse effects on the team.

== Training intensity ==
Most team managers agree it is best to train at 100% intensity. It is believed that is brings beneficial effects to the [[Form]] of the team, when training at the fastest pace possible. It is also believed that the chance of injuries raises with the training intensity.

== When to cash in ==

In most cases selling your trainees at age 21 is beneficial if you want to make the most amount of money, as once a player hits 21 years old the number of weeks it takes for a skill level to go up is generally high enough to dampen the training profitability. Some people will buy slightly older players with very high ratings, but in general the most profit, and also easiest training, is made up until the age of 21.

== Choosing trainees ==
Choosing the correct players to train is a balancing act. There are four factors to consider.
* Training skill
* Age
* Secondary skills
* Price

There is little to be gained from training players that are not at least passable in their training skill.
Training a player who is passable/solid in primary skill is not as profitable as training higher skills.
But players of these lower skills cost considerably less to purchase.

17 year olds with high skills are expensive. On the other hand, older players train slower.

The higher the secondary skills, the higher you will pay to purchase the trainee, but the more he will sell for when he is trained.
