There's a new MyHT on its way out now, topic is new training/scout comments for the Youth Acacemies. The changes/new events (which take effect immediately) are designed to make the YA easier to understand, funnier and less frustrating. These changes are very needed, especially with the latest thread in this forum about this in close mind.

Better hints in the Youth Academies The Hattrick Football Association has just recently finished a communication course for all youth trainers and scouts in the academies. Scouts and trainers are now better educated to communicate, which means their hints will be easier to understand.

For starters, scouts will always give at least two hints when evaluating a prospect. Moreover they will not use the prospect scale (doubtful, hopeless etc) anymore as it was more confusing than helpful.

Trainers have learned a whole new terminology and are eager to use it. The training report will contain more hints, and more useful hints. Trainers will report less skill increases, instead they will focus on better information about the players' skills and potentials and how far away players are to reach their maximum potential.

I read on our youthacademy forum that people got trainingmessage with [level] in there instead of the real level. And then I literaqlly mean "[level]" instead of inadequate or apssable or whatever.

Is that a bug that still needs to be sorted out? Hmm, yes.

How about our understanding? If I have a PRODIGIOUS guy, now the coach/scout are going to give me different news? Nope, old comments stay as they are, there's nothing we can do about them.

Second question: the change is immediately available? I have the training report this evening, I will read the new style? Yep, new style.

Trainers will report less skill increases

Does this mean that not all skill increases will be reported?????? Exactly. As you now will get more info, we weren't that excited about reporting all skill pops as it would only cause the market to be flooded with low solids.

So teams getting trainingsmessages now will get bugged ones with no real information?

Will it be easy to repair or will that take some time (hours/days/weeks)? Easy to repair, will be fixed during the afternoon. And as I understood it, in the already processed training reports the [level] will be written out with the real level (passable etc) when this bug is sorted out.

Which type of comment from the scout we will receive instead of "this is a prodigious guy"? How the coach will change the message "this is the best talent in your team?" There are no new scout comments, but he'll give you more of the other (current) ones.

The whole new denomination scale of "hopeless", "prodigious", etc has been cancelled now? Does this mean all youth-players have the same training speed? For once and for all: That scale had nothing to do with training speed.

All youth players don't have the same training speed, but the difference (which depend on their character, right now a hidden value) is marginal.

my best guess is that it referred to the difference between where the player was now (eg poor) and their max potential (eg solid)

I'm as intrigued as everyone else as to exactly what it meant though! Close, but no cigar.

It was a combination of current skill level and potential skill level.

I don't think the youth team is the right place for Lars Langeland any more. At least when it comes to Passing, he's simply unable to improve any more. This is a new one too, but I guess it is about completed player. Last comment only means his passing is maxed out.

Ok, I got that on IM, while training PM + PS. Meaning he could still be a PM talent?

The message is exact on the skill which is maxed out. If his PM is mentioned he will not respond to playmaking training.

I got a similar message when training wing + ps with him (but then it wasnt mentioned which skill he was maxed in). Now I know ps cant be training - but then he could be trained in PM + WG, right?

I refer only to the new comment type in which the exact skill is stated.

Ok. What about the old one that doesn't mentioned which skill? Could it be that one of the skills at the then current time could be worth training?

Yes. It meant that the total skills left to train are quite low. This message is removed due to better info in the new messages.

Here are the messages:

NEW (training PM/PS): Match I don't think the youth team is the right place for Lars Langeland any more. At least when it comes to Passing, he's simply unable to improve any more.

PREVIOUS (at that time, trained WG/PS): Match In my opinion, Lars Langeland is not going to reach his potential as a footballer unless he gets some Playmaking training.

The old message you put here is still valid. I meant the "can not improve" unrelated to skill message.

Ok. You really think he can still be a good prospect when the coach says: " I don't think the youth team is the right place for Lars Langeland any more"?

I know passing training will not do any good, ref. also your comment above. But if that sentence does not mean what it says, he might be able to improve in wing or pm?

Regarding the old message, I thought that that meant that ONE of the skills he was training at that time, didnt do him any good. As he was training WG + PS, that might just be the passing part? Or, is further wing training out of the question as well?

Maybe those messages means he is not going to improve much in ANY skill?

(a bit messy post, but hope you get my point)

I gave you all the info you need.

I really like the new reports:

"Também treinámos Criatividade esta semana. Ao observar o João Luz, parece-me que ele está no nível desastroso nesta característica."

In english says something like my GK is disastrous PM at this time...

Very usefull information!!

yes my keeper got a scoring skill info.

It would be a nice realistic add on if player get a skill info for a skill that is important for the position he played, may be from same skill selection as for individual training. Keeper for example would get a keeper, defending or set pieces skill info, but never a scoring info.

It is an option, but ....

The current implementation though gives you info that by mistake you did not spot.

Fot instance: If you got a keeper and do not know that you can learn it by this mechanism. Same for other skills. Thats important as well.

You can have your scout tell you on scoring and the trainer will one day tell you (inspite the fact the player plays as forward) that this guy has now passable defending. This is better than your suggestion.
