| even though i did not get that with the youth squad games, but i guess we will heare more and more until it will actually be implemented
In short, you'll be able to create your own series. Maybe some friends want a series of their own, or collegues or a federation etc. You play a match every week with your youth team in that series (and you'll also be able to choose the time of the match), except for some regular breaks for a friendly match. This to make it possible to meet other ppl/teams sometimes too. | |||

| Two questions:
1) Is the current investment going to be IN ANY WAY connected to the upcoming YS system? There are plenty of people who stopped investing some time ago because their TeamID wasn't lucky enough and they were losing money, but the future YS might be more fair. 2) I don't like the connection between 1st team results and the youth team. This will AGAIN make people avoid promotion - after all, if they get extra youth training points by winning, then there is absolutely no incentive to go higher. In fact, it might even be wiser to demote in a lot of cases. First question is already answered and the second question is not a question, but an opinion. | |||

| what about the level of the YS? Is it staying the same as we managed to reach up to now or you will reset it, which means that all these money we invested for so long time was for nothing?
Nothing? All these years I think you've promoted a lot of youth players in order to (maybe) win your investment back. In the new system the level of the YS is unimportant. The only time you might need it again is if you want to go back to the old youth system. We're not definately sure how to handle the level then, but in some way it will be frozen or at least partly frozen (and depending on the number of scouts perhaps?). We'll see. | |||

| 2) [blah blah blah] Why the connection?
I think it makes sense that the progress or your normal team also affects the youth squad. It makes sense that youth players are better motivated to work hard for that place in the senior squad if the senior squad performs well. It also means you can't just give up your senior squad and sell it out etc etc. But you got a point, allthough I think the above is more important than that it's definately something to consider too. | |||

You'll have to wait until they are a certain age, which most probably will be higher than 17. | |||

| Are the youth teams playing in national or international leagues? Can I play in a league with friends from different countries?
As I said, you can create your own series - meaning you can have a series with teams from different countries for example. ' Can we see the complete skills of the youth players when they are in the youth team? Or only a rough view over some skills? I think the edtiorial says what can be said about that for now: The youth players' skills will not be set in stone, they'll be floating. This means you'll have to explore your players and through match ratings see in which position they play the best. Skills will be more exact the more you train and explore your players, but exactly how good they are will first be known when you promote them to the senior squad. Except from the normal skills, youth players will also have values for potential and character. | |||

| 1 Managers can choose (at least in the beginning) if they want to use the new system or the old one.
Yes. 2 If you choose the new one, you are unable to sell your youths for some time Yes. 3 This will result in a lot less youth players in the market, giving the old system a financial benefit which may be countered as I understand with better chance of better players in new system. Pretty much, yes. Most likely there will be less youth players in the game as you probably will not promote a youth player to your senior squad every week. On the other hand, the players you choose to promote will in general be better. And as said in the editorial, players from the new youth system will in general be better as they can get better secondaries. 4 How long will this old system continue? Indefinately I think. 6 How do you get 11 youth team players if you do not invest in new system (or even if you do)? Or can 17-19 year olds also play? If you don't use the new system you can still use the old one (or none). If you use the new system you will not be able to use the old one. Until you're able to fill your youth squad (in the new system) with 11 players, you will be able to pick up the "neighbours' kids" or something (ie dummies which will be equally bad). 7 You cannot see the skill of these 15-16 year olds. Until they are promoted. Do you just put them somewhere to see how many stars he gets? You'll see something, just don't the exact skills and not the way senior players are presentated. Putting them somewhere on the pitch and see how many stars he got is not going to be a bad idea however. | |||

| 1. If a club choses to use the new YP-system, scouted players are around 15. They can be promoted at a minimum of 17years old. Does that mean in those 2 years/seasons, u only play the new system, and having each week 1 youthplayer promoted in your youthsquad?
Just to be clear, I've never said how old a youth player in the new system must be in order to be promoted to the senior team. But yes, for some seasons in the beginning you will only play the new system and find youth players for your youth team. 2. Does that also mean, that u cant sell any YP for 2 at least years/seasons? (so you're only paying scouts and paying pulls and not having any YP-income) For some seasons you'll not be able to sell any youth players, yes. 4. Your A-squad will still be able to play on sundays and wednesdays right? Yes, of course. The rest of the questions are either already answered or too detailed to answer on. | |||

| 1. In the announcement there is said that if you have a young striker that has reached the cap of his scoring skill you can choose to train him on passing. (I read the dutch version so i hope you understand what i mean)
Does this mean that you can define individual training types for every youngster in the youthsquad? The points can be distrubated on different stuff, including individual stuff. Normal traning can not. | |||

| 2. the growth of the youngsters will depend only the type of training and talent, or there will be other factors as well(position in that week match)?
The position in that week's game will matter, as always. 4. Will the result of the youth matches affect in any way the club finances(like income from tickets)? I'm not that sure fathers and mothers pay anything to watch their kids play. :) 7. Will the team spirit of the senior squad affect the midfield of the youth squad? No. 8. Will the youth players have a salary that is going to be paid? Not sure yet. But if they do, I guess we will cover that cost with income from selling soda and homebaked cakes. :) 10. If you have some scouts, and they present each of them one player/week from which you are able to accept only one player, what will you know about the presented players?(except name:D) They will provide you some basic info so you'll be able to make a decision. The rest of the questions will remain unanswered for now. | |||

But I dont like the idea my money for YS to be wasted. So at first glampse I`d like to do this: Will get some new system young boys, just to fill my young squad, and then will return to old system. So one question : Can I still play young team matches if I do this? You either choose the new system or the old system. You can't mix them. | |||

| Every season (excepted the first 1-2-3 seasons, of course, when you will have no youths) each team at the first week of the season will have some 17 years old (say 4-5-6-7, depending on how many 16 years old he has trained the last season). Then he will promote them (I suppose one for week, like now, is it correct?), and then there will be no new 17 years old players till the next season.
So we will have on the market a lot of 17 years old players in the first 2-3 weeks of every season and quite zero in the second half of the season. Is it correct? Ok, here we go with the 17 year olds again. I repeat this again: It's not been said that you will (or will not) be able to promote 17 year olds. Apart from that, I think the market will take care of your concern itself. If all ppl will promote youths the first week, then the prices will fall and you'll get less paid. Moreover, you'll still be able to train the youth player in your youth squad after the first week. And finally, you'll not promote a youth player to the senior team every week. | |||

| Could you specify a bit more what you mean by calling the new YS system time consuming? Does it just take some more minutes per week (like checking for new players, setting line-up, etc.) or are we talking hours here?
I think that will depend from what kind of user you are. I mean, some Hattrik users spend 30 minutes per week on Hattrick today and some spend several hours a day. I think it will be something similar here, it depends on how deep you want to dig. Hattrick is a simplistic game overall, so this feature will be simplistic too. But it will not be the exactly "same" simplicitity, it will be slightly different. A game in the game one can say, a game which is not that different from the normal game - but not completely the same either. | |||

| 2) You plan to "create a stronger bond with your youth players". How is the announced solution better than, say, having reduced wages, say to 90%, for players born at one's YS?
Bonds are made out of feelings, not out of money. (You're talking about having a economic benefit for your own youth players, but that's something else imho) 3) "How youth players develop and how good they can be should be less predictable than today". That could be achieved more simply by slightly randomising training, as it is today. It already is so for SP, stamina, and general, it would not be a revolution. Why is the announced solution better? Having another form of "if a train this solid guy for one season he'll be formidable" wasn't really something we wanted, nor did we want to slightly increase the random factor in the "old" training. We wanted something that should be more unpredictable, but where your choices didn't meet a random factor. 4) "The game engine for youth matches [...] will be slightly different". Why? Why not? ;) Because it will be somewhat needed for the training system, and some other stuff. 5) "You'll only be able to pick up one youth player per week, so if you accept the first offer you'll not see any other offer and if you dismiss the first offer you'll not be able to accept it later." That's almost exactly the coach hiring method used some 10 seasons ago. Why was it bad for that, and changed, and is good for this? I don't think it's comparable really. Now you'll only get X (number of scout) chances every week = a limited number of chances where you have to think every time if it's something to keep or if you can get a better one. The old coach hiring system could go on and on and on, and was completely random. Secondly, a good coach is quite important in Hattrick so the old system was far from perfect. But still, it had its moments too I think. | |||

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. | |||

this might be a severe topic.. I dont think that too many kids are so precocious at the age of 15, but no player of the youth-academy has got a beard! not the 17 or 18yo players either! but what wil be later? when they are picked for the a-squad? or when they celebrate their 20th birthday? will they still stay beardless then? will nobody grow a beard anymore? Or is now growing a beard for players even prohibited by the HFA as well? :D Our first plan was to make it mandatory for youngsters to have pimples. :) We had thoughts about making a special set of faces for youths, and that thought is not all abonded. But we soon realized that such a feature wouldn't make it to the first version, after all it wasn't the most important thing. So, we postponed youth faces for the future and for the time being we'll have to live with our bearded youth "aliens". | |||

Reply to (8995830.738) There is a with spread rumor that YA coaches only tell you when GKs are ready to be promoted. No one seems to have ever got a message like this for an outfield player. Can you confirm that outfield players get this sort of messages as well? Outfield players should get that too yes, and I know my trainer was on repeat every week about one of my defenders being ready to be promoted while we tested it, and nothing has changed in that code for the worse. This could also be related to outfield players having several skills to improve on, while keepers have just one. Rumours are evil so I better check this up even if I believe this rumour is bogus. | |||

Will the chosen league (regional, national, international) influence the players early experience in different ways or will the experience start counting after the kid is promoted to the A-squad? These youngsters don't know what experience is. :) So why am I seeing players with wretched experince being pulled from the new ys? As soon as youth academy players are promoted to the senior team the hard life starts, and learning about their lack of experience is one of the ingredients in their new life. | |||

Is Youth Academy working as intended? Ie. is it producing players equal in quality to Youth Squad but more multi-skilled? Is it even producing similar players than YS? Evidence points to YA pulls being clearly inferior to YS pulls. Both yes and no. The Youth Academy players are suffering from their managers being too impatient. Managers are so eager to get a fine 17 year old but very few players are actually ready to be promoted at that age - so their impatience and greed hit them right back in the face. In the old youth system fantastic 17 year old players are very rare and that's still the case (but in theory the new system opens up for more (multiskilled)). This is a big problem indeed, but on the other hand it's not the only answer to this problem. I do believe that youth academy players' non-trained skills are too low when promoted to the senior squad, because you can't really train them all. But even if we increase the probability to get higher skill levels on non-trained skills we still have the problem with managers' impatience, and to do something about that I think we need to educate them better. Ie make them understand that their players not necessarily should be promoted as soon as they turn 17. The best way of doing this is perhaps to make the whole youth academy feature easier, as I think it's too hard today. I think making it somewhat easier will also make it funnier to use/play. This is something we will look into more thoroughly the coming season(s), right now we're quite busy working on the promised 'multiskill changes'. | |||

Now it is possible for teams to invest in both youth systems. And promote players to the academy or to the main team each week. It will be possible to invest in both systems forever or in a near future teams have to choose between the two systems? I can't promise that it will be possible to use both systems in all eternity, but right now we have no plans to change this or even put it on the agenda for the future. | |||

the YA training report, is there a quota on hints the trainer will tell me? as I have a keeper which my trainer tell me to train him everyweek, but I do not need a keeper but i still play in on pitch everyweek, my friend said that will decrease the messages that the trainer reports to me (because everyweek he speak the same hint: train the keeper, which is a big hint in my squad) do I get more hints if I stop playing that keeper (or in general, players that have good potential but I do not train) Your YA trainer will tell you if you got talented players in your squad who can be good to train, or if they benefit from another type of training than the one you've chosen. Still you need to make a decision what (and which players) to train as you can't train them all - if you don't choose the 'individual' training type of course. But to answer your question: Yes, in general you will get more hints if you got players with good potential which you don't train. | |||

I have a related question: Would a youth academy goalie receive normal, full "Defending" (not "Defensive positions") training if he is played as a regular defender? Or are there training limitations for goalies played in an outfield position? A youth keeper will recieve training in all outside positions (as long as he hasn't reached his potential in that skill of course) | |||

About the individual training in YA. I'm discussing with other user about the following: I think wingers will get trained in wing and half of playmaking. Wingbacks get trained in defense and half of winger. Other positions get trained only in main skill. The other user thinks all players will get trained in all skills they need (including passing for example). Who is right (or closer to be)? None is 100% correct, but it depends on how you look at it. In detail individual training randomly picks one of the skils valuable for the position the player played in. The more important/valuable the skill is - the higher chance that skill is picked. A primary skill is more likely picked than a secondary for example. If you look on individual training for one whole season or at least a number of weeks, then you will (in theory) get the about result you're talking about in your question: The primary skill (ex goalkeeping for goalkeepers) is trained more than the secondary skill (defending), but both have been trained. How do we decide how important/valuable different skills are for a certain position? Well, we do know what the match engine says... | |||

| - The scout will give the potential of one skill out of the three highest potential skills.
Done few months ago. - The scout will give the current skill of one out of the three highest potential skills. Done few months ago. - The scout may indicate players that have good starting values in two skills. This could be called an indication for multi-skilled training candidates. The sentences about overall are playing this role but they work in a different manner then the above description (as they used to work from the YA release). - In some cases Speciality will be reported. It seems to happen too often. Probably will be fixed. - In some cases the Character value of the player may be reported. Not implemented yet.
- The trainer will give the skill of one player in the team for every training type you choose. If you train scoring, the current scoring value of one player in the team will be reported. If you train the same in both primary and secondary training, you will receive data on one player only. There is also a chance that the best potential of this training type is reported. Done, but the part about best potential is not implemented. - If the gap between current skill and potential ("What is left to train") drops below one whole skill level, it will be reported. This notification may also be given when there are 2 or 3 levels left to train. Up and running. - You will get a chance to learn the total training type left on a certain player. There is a typo in the sentence, its about time left to train and its working for several months - If a player was trained but did not improve at all ("Reached his potential") this will always be reported. Thats almost true. There is only one such sentence every week and if several players happen to reach their max potential only one will be reported. I hope we can fix that in the future so a player that got a report will not get another one unless no other player reached the cap. - The trainer might tell you the Speciality of the player, or that the player has no Speciality. Was implemented. - The character of the player may be reported. Not implemented. | |||

there are some training reports with two different training kinds, where only one and very few where no skill is reported. Would it be better to say "The trainer CAN give ...." or is it a bug? Yes, maybe its better. I think its something we would fix as well but I do not know for sure why it happens. My guess it is related to the chosen player getting injured or something like that. Can you confirm that? | |||

| Is this function implemented ?
When a player is promoted, he will get a boost toward his maximum potential. This boost is dependent on age. 17 year old players will receive no boost at all, the older the player is the bigger the boost. This reflects that the player is more mature and better prepared to take on regular team action.
It is implemented. | |||

| Hi.
YS and YA by nature are different. There is a choice in which to choose but we want you to choose according to your playing style and not according to a feel of "must". To do so, the main goal is to keep the systems aligned and balanced. Thats the idea, but what is the definition of balance in two such different systems? In one system there is skilled involved and in the other there is complete random. How do you even define balance in such case? Can you balance a lottery and a skill based system? The main issue is that skill affects results in the YA. If that is the case, how would you make sure the skilled managers will not get huge profits guaranteed? How will you secure some revenues for the not skilled managers? If the average profit is equal in both systems its quite obvious that more skilled managers will earn regularly more in the YA then the average user in the YS. That is an automatic vote for the skilled manager to use the YA. If the best YA managers can earn only the average profit in the YS it means that bad managers in the YA will earn less then they can in the YS, which means automatic vote for the bad manager to use the YS. Its quite obvious that any choice here will signal or "force" any user who wants to be the best which system he must choose. After this short explanation of why the problem is not really solvable in a perfect way, I will explain the current situation which I think is quite good. The YA is better in: 1. Ability to craft your own players. 2. Pull younger players. 3. Plan a head (for the cash to come) The YS is better: 1. More players on any skill level (but older on average) 2. More profitable on average 3. Smaller variance (especially on the low end) YA require luck and skill. To get the young pulls you need to get a young player. We design the system so the maximum skills of the YA are as if the player was created in the YS and add small boost to each skill, the lower it is the higher the boost on average (some random is involved). High skills get very small boosts even in extreme cases, so the limit on YA players is quite similar to the YS. In addition we made sure the total training speed is such that allow creation of similar amount of players in certain skill level from the average material given in the YA. Luck in the YA is a bit different. You need to have a good player both in terms of maximum potential and starting skills and you need to have several players which may be trained on the same training regime. After that you need some skill to take advantage of the luck you got. We see that the most luckiest and skilled managers in the YA are able to create similar revenue like the YS most luckiest managers. The distribution of profit on sale among the top 50K profitable clubs on each system is similar even though the YA have x3 more academies (but not all use 3 scouts). This means the better managers in the YA are able to create on average better revenue stream then if they used the YS. However, its hard to measure skill and luck in the YA to understand how much of the revenue is skill related and how much luck. The main problem in the YA was that the average and even the above average managers made lower profits then the average YS could give, and by far less profits. This was mainly due to the difficulty in managing the YA. With the last improvement we saw some significant move to the YA and some improvement on profits in the YA. This seems to be a step in the right direction. As the maximum performance is limited by luck and hard limits (players maximum skill) the extra ease in managing in the YA is supposed to help mainly the worse managers. | |||

| To sum things up I want to try and answer the questions raised by the thread starter and some others. The YA is for sure better in the ability to create 17 years old and 0 days players. However, overall this ability does not create better revenue stream. A good manager in the YA will probably (there is no way to prove this) make higher revenue in the YA, but the difference should not be huge. A bad manager in the YA is generating much less income then he could in the YS. We want to improve YA there. | |||
