my team's been 9* until the start of this season, and now there back at 8*! They say that your team dosn't loose any expierance over the start of a new season, then what happened to my team?!?!?! I've been doing the same thing as always, but this still happened. What's going on?

You should try to weakness train, if you are doing the same thing as always, then the things your player are good at will only get better and the bad things will stay the same, put more focus on the bad things in order to even it out, one of the main keys in sb, balance.

....well if they aren't playing catch, then they are probably losing catch skill! Shocked

BASICALLY, thats happened to me before.. it has nothing to do with the start of the new season. It has everything to do with you training your teams and different times each day (TP gets screwed up if you dont train at about 24 hours each day.. it mounts up after a while on your bench)

AND you have been training your team in things they are ALREADY strong in and neglecting what they are weak in.

My guess is you forgot the same thing I did, running.. You probably have a team of slow pokes who havent trained in running in forever. If its not running its something else. People at times get too intent on training one part of their team and forget the rest.

Another possibility is that your only using 1 pitcher.. in that case your pitcher uses all his TP all season keeping pitching up and loses everything else.. This effect can bring down a 9 star team if it has a 4 or 5 star overall pitcher (Ive made this mitake as well)

The good news is your team can boom to the higher levels of the 9 star teams easily with a few changes and weakness training.. Train your run it helps both offense and defense. Use 2 pitchers.. if you do that you may eventually be 10 stars but dont get caught up training just one thing.

It is okay kid you will get back up there. That happened to me me to so just stay calm. All you have to do is find out what moves you up the list first then train in that for a few days. You'll get back and so will I.

Well, they lose as much "experience" over the season changeover that they lose at any other time...so yeah, they do lose it.

But your problem may be in your third sentence. "I've been doing the same thing as always..."

SmallBall is ever changing and ever growing. If you keep doing the same things all the time, you can never expect to get better. Maybe your pitcher needs some bench time. Does everyone have enough run? Play around. Change things. Don't stick with the status quo...always adapt. There's really not a conspiracy. At least not against ONLY you. Wink

That might actually be TOO much. If you're training run 3 times a week on average, there's only 4 other days for throw, catch, and 3 different batting skills. Something's being neglected in the equation.

I told you defense was the key. Most trainers train in defense at first then start on hitting. That is why you have to have a steady schedule so they train in everything.
