Training is undertaken by the coaches the club hires. Each coach has a specialisation in a different area and will affect
the players they are assigned to in different ways. This determines how player attributes are developed. The quality
of the training paddock, gym and technical kicking enclosure effect the limits of attribute development.
Coaches also have a positional expertise in a given position, and can, over time, retrain senior and colts players to specialise in this position.
However, the current and new positions are to be of a similar role, for eg. a scrum half could not retrain as a loose head prop forward.
Players will retire in their mid to late 30s.
The bigger clubs have a colts and an academy. The colts exists to develop the potential of young players and the academy exists to
support the main squad, whilst further developing higher calibre players.
Real time tactics can be handled broadly with a structured attack and defence style. Predetermined tactics for specific areas of the pitch will
determine how expansive or conservative your team plays. Or real time tactics can be handled more finely with an ad-lib attack and defence,
in which attacking moves and defensive patterns can be selected phase by phase.
There is also a team call feature to add to the real time interaction, where manager calls can give your team a specific advantage for a short duration.
The range of team calls at your disposal depends on the quality of your tactical briefing facility.
The art of keeping your managerial career stable is to maintain the backing of the executive board, whilst keeping the club's bank balance in the red.
Bigger or smaller clubs may come head hunting at the end of a season in an attempt to recruit you for their club.
What depth will the game have in terms of management:
- Will we be able to select specific skills to train or will this be broad position based?
- Will you be able to train a player towards a different position, specifically for youth players?
- Will players start declining at a certain age, or only consider retirement or both?
- How will the academy system work?
- What impact will the real time tactics have, will I be able give broad instructions or can you give specific instructions to players - Specific instructions in real time would be a disapointment for me as it goes beyond the influence a coach has on a game and gives too big an advantage over the A.I?
- How is a club's performance judged and whether you are offered better jobs or fired?
