So if you do not use player training you will not see your players develop?

No they do. I've seen players develop on their own over time like always. The testing data I posted earlier was only youth academy players. The ones in the youth academy that I didn't train, didn't really develop while there in it. If you look at the google sheet I posted the players that I didn't use the training on barely advanced in the course of 10 months. The ones I did though really advanced. Just not in speed and strength. That seems stunted for all youth players. They only grow a couple points around their birthdays.

And to reiterate, players still naturally progress on their own. I've had a couple players that I've never trained on my roster go up in stats.

I took 5 players from Peru, and 5 players from Japan in my YA. All outfield no GK'ers. I trained all the Japanese guys and left the Peruvian players be. I find zero correlation on growth, physicals growth, etc. its a mixed bag. as it should be imo

I understand why people hate getting fired but I like the realism. My Chelsea fired Di Matteo 6 months after winning the Champs League.

Shouldn't it be my choice how strict the board is? This is a video tvideo game after all

Truuuuue. Does board strictness play a factor? I always choose strict but then again I always start CM with a mid-to-bottom table club.

Is it just me, or is everyone else getting national job offers right out of the gate in September. Seems busted. I did two test MM today and it happened, but both were with Chelsea so I figured it was that. But in my real MM I am using a 2.Bundesliga team, and we are 2-0-2. I just got two offers in my first year, only 4 games in?

For some strange reason, EA took out the option to alter board strictness. They changed it to financial strictness, which the option says its determines how much cash income gets allocated towards your transfer budget from player transfers.
