Question About Training Screen

[Pax25]

I understand what the number in the ( ) is supposed to represent, but what does the number to the left mean?

It seems that the number somewhat corresponds to their current skill level, but I'm not sure. It doesn't equal the average number you see in the pop-up for a particular skills category.

Thanks.

That is their coaching bonus. So the number in the () is the amount of "bonus" points that go towards said player

(From the manual)

The largest coaching bonus a player can receive in a category is 20 points. Each team has a variable number of bonus points available in each category, determined by the quality and skills of their coaching staff - you can get an idea of the relative strengths and weaknesses of the staff by looking at the specialist coach listings at the bottom of the personnel screen.

Since there are a limited number of coaching bonus points available, if you nominate too many players for extra attention, you will see the bonus points they receive drop as the coaching resources are spread thinner and thinner. There is no such limitation on the players; they can be trained in all four categories at once if you wish.

I understand what the number in the ( ) is but still don't understand the number to the left that doesn't change. I don't think you explained it and the manual doesn't explain it.

That's his overall current rating in that category, same one as shown on the player pop-ups. I think we added that in mid-year last year or the year before, I've added a short explanation to the manual now.

Thanks Jeff. That makes sense. The only reason I asked is because from what I recall that number doesn't always equal the number in the pop-ups.
