quick, easy question.

The more games you play, the more skill you lose.

True or False?

I'm in the MLB Wildcard UL that dtown set up. He set it up to play 162 games, I'm 131-48 so far this season, I think it's a myth Wink

myth, the more games you play, the more likely you will have a few bad games, so it looks like your losing skill

SmallBall Knights says he has proof that the skill loss is greater if 6 or more games are played in a 24 hour period. I have yet to experience this but if anyone would know about a test or theory in this game it would be him or Jon2s. lol
I say play ball. I'm still in PL3 however.

interesting, try this wc, train, and when you finish, write down the time, then play as many games as you can, then after 48 hours exactly, see if you pie is full or not

Oh I see. That would be a great experiment. I might try it.

Personally.. I believe the majority of a team wont have MUCH skill loss if many games are played between trainings.. EXCEPT for the pitchers.

I know for a fact that when I play 8 or more games between trainings.. my pitcher's pitch skill drops a good 3-4 MPH..

So I think if you play alot of games.. just make sure every so often your pitcher is still OK and you should do pretty good.

if that's true about pitchers losing skill as you play more games, it makes it more important to have two equal pitchers . You just replace him after a few games.

I have a question. If you play a game right after training, does it affect your team in a positive or negative way?

as a newbie, i was about 4-5*, i played a game, didnt have Timeshift, so i stopped and went into training, then when i finished i logged into the game again, and watched as my team went from 11-1 approx down to win 20?-11, good finish, later i realised it had nothing to do with training, but at the time, i thought, woooowoowowow Shocked

Check this out :

It was Sunday night , last day of the season a few seasons ago , I had one game to be played against me , I train this team in the early evening , so its about 2 am and the game isnt played yet , now this team is a high 9* team sometimes 10* , so I figured since the game still has to be played I would go into the trainer and use any TP that was there, because it was Sunday night and Mondays was an off day.
Well anyways , after I was done with the training , I looked on my team page and whamooo , I was dropped to 8* Shocked

True. The more you play the quicker you lose skills. Unless you play a massive amount of games the loss is not major however, but there is an extra loss.

This is why it is so important to have a pitcher that holds skill well. Say you play 5 or 6 games and your pitchers ability drops from 110-112 to 106-108 you might find yourself an easy target in the PL's and go from being 6-0 when you go to bed to 6-6 when you wake up because people noticed you played a lot of games that day and your pitcher is tired.

Never knew that they took account of how tired a pitcher was.

But aside from the higher PLs would it matter much if the pitcher had a high enough skill?

I've done over 300 games in a season. If your pitcher is losing skill so quickly he loses a large amount of your games do not blame that on skill loss, blame that on you picking a bad pitcher.
