    Failed Goals - Playbook Knowledge

    I keep failing my GM's goals of having particular players learn or master the playbook by XX percentage in Training Camp and Preseason. I typically focus on training Rookies vs. choosing particulars plays...but I have focused on particlar plays to try and succeed at these goals, too. Nothing is working.

    Help??
    Thanks.

    I work on nothing but plays for the 1st couple of weeks an see where they are. That's worked for me for the most part

      During the Preseason games I will start any rookie I have a goal for and never sub him out. When picking a play I will go to the quick sub option and see if he knows the play, if he does I pick a different one. Along with only selecting that rookie to practice during the week. Works more times than not.

        Another thing that helps considerably is to call only unknown plays during the game to get them up to known. This is a pretty solid move in general in the preseason to prepare your team for the coming year.

          If the guy you're trying to accomplish the goal with has 50 or less learning, punt the goal - it's just not gonna happen, and you'll hurt the overall team preparation for the season by not getting the rest of them play knowledge. The penalties for not accomplishing those goals really isn't all that great anyway. Aside from looking at the ratings themselves, you can tell if the guy you're trying to train learns at a snails pace - if the same plays keep coming up in a particular rookie's practice, it means they're taking forever to learn it. It won't move on to others until THAT player learns THAT particular play. That's why it hurts the team in the long run to focus on one idiot - while all the smart guys have long since mastered it, the one guy is holding back the team from learning new ones.

          Beyond that, I find the train rookies option to be FAR more useful than individual plays for obvious reasons - every player on that rookie's side of the offense gets play knowledge on 5 different plays. When you train on one play, even the slowest learning players may master it in one practice, but it's just one play when you're trying to learn a whole % of the playbook.

              This was such a pain to get done. If you follow the achievement guide for all goals successful, it has a good strategy to get play learning completed.
