It doesn't mean you can't win a championship if you're training, it just means you have to pick and choose during the important weeks.
I've had seasons where I train all season long, but then have to stop training skills so I can train GS for the week leading up to the playoffs. If I didn't do that there was no way I could have won my playoff series.

The problem, to me, with taking away GS training, is that you leave too much up to chance in terms of what your GS will be. since even if you play optimal minutes, there is still a near 40% chance that your GS will drop, or not increase (if you're at 7 or 8).

My main reason for training is to make my players go to NT's, that's why I don't miss 2/3 weeks for season on GS. I normally miss 1 for Resistance, that's all.

I'd only want to remove GS training if GS management was, well, more manageable.

Currently, there are few windows of 'minutes played' that give you more than a 60% chance of increasing an 8 to a 9 or keeping a 9 at a 9. And that is with a massage doctor on staff. If that increased to 80% or so, I'd be fine getting rid of GS training.


I agree with this. I think a good management of minutes should be rewarded with a guarantee of increase of GS.
For example, this week i had a drop from 2.2k DMI to 1.1k DMI of a key player that palyed 59 minutes last week !!
And a player with 68-57-70 minutes is 7 GS in all 3 weeks; also a player 67-76-63 is 7 GS for all 3 weeks.

Because of this, if i'm going to play a championship final or a game cup final, i'll train GS the week before, no doubt.
