cant the players that are over 23 improve?????
please reply
Yes they can, but it is generally seen as a waste of training above this age, as it takes too long – for the primary anyway. However, secondaries train faster, the older a player gets.
Do you think this would be relevant in South Africa?
Personally I reckon training players at 24 to 26 can be useful and I have done this occasionally.
Having 1 primary net on a 24 year old has about the same impact as a second net on a 17 year old and may be much more useful for your team.
Also if you have a 25yo player with decent primary but bad secondaries doing the 1 net primary and 1 net fielding can be beneficial for the duration of 1 primary pop.
But since you only have 10 nets you have to make you choices and really well trained up young players are worth a lot on the transfer market at the moment.
Is there any table to indicate the concentration pop times for trainees having just Bat + WK nets?
It’s the same as just training the primary. Training the wicket keeping will not improve the Concentration any faster, unless there is a fielding net added
@ mobihead – if you have spare nets, then maybe put one on an older player. I’ve only ever done it to improve secondaries and once they’ve gone up a few levels then I’ve stopped. I wouldn’t buy a player whos secondaries are so far behind i.e 5 levels or more (unless they were an absolute bargin)
How to set intensive training to maximum?
You are totally wrong with your advice to Besty.
A WK net, on its own or in combination with others, improves both Cons and Cons at the same rate as a fielding net does.
I am a bit shocked that you do not know this.
Ok, slightly off topic, but I’m fairly new to battrick (second season) and I’ve just hatched a new 17yo, who has some excellent stats, both batting and bowling..!
Do people think that it is worth keeping him and focussing training on him, or try to sell him on for a nice profit and pick up a couple of older/cheaper players to get my team going?
@selvam – The training intensity has since been removed – I will update the site ASAP. This was the news snippet from BT last year :- Over the last couple of years, the way that PFL works in Battrick has changed considerably, including the the removal of the concept of team fitness. The Training Intensity feature was originally given as an option to combat fatigue, but most advice to new users was to set it to 100% and then ignore it. Latest figures show that for managed teams, that 80.6% of you had done that, with 97.5% having set it at 90% intensity or more.
As such, this no-brainer option is not applicable any more. We’re removing this feature and everyone will effectively be on 100% training intensity, regardless of what value is inserted into the Nets page (until it’s removed).
What exactly do you mean by increasing a whole level ? Do you mean maybe an increase from competent to respectable ? If yes then your data is inaccurate. I promoted a 20 year old player from the youth academy and trained him for only 1 week ( bowl + field ) and his consistency increased from competent to respectable. ( your data says it takes 6.3 weeks ).
@ Ashish – no – the data is correct, you just happened to train him when his consistency was high – almost at the respectable level. I’m pretty certain that he didn’t pop the following week, or for a few weeks more.
@ Dean – I’m assuming you have tested that out yourself and have data to back it up. If you have, I will gladly change the data on here
Of course I have tested it out for myself and have data to back it up. It is also common knowledge on the BT site.
If any of those threads on there are not sufficient enough evidence for you then I will supply you with my own info and back it up with screenshots of players with training info and pop times from AtStumps although the umpteen threads on the BT site should be more than sufficient.
