amalric7 Joined: 01/20/2016 Posts: 2236 New York Lancers V.4 | See, I set mine to Primary: Hitting, and Secondary: Fastball. And I was wondering why my pitchers aren't getting anywhere near as many gains as my hitters! Having said that most of my pitchers (10/13) are at least 29 years old, so there likely isn't any upside there, and improving my hitting seemed the best path to success this year. I'm guessing switching to 'No Focus' for the rest of the season might be a better idea. |

Tiger504 Joined: 06/17/2014 Posts: 1314 Kalamazoo Bloody Tigers III.4 | I focus my training. Not sure if it helps or not but I always have. I used to do primary control, secondary PD. I switched awhile back to secondary strength because my team completely sucked in power. I am sure it has no real immediate effect. That came from signing a couple power guys and maturation of some prospects. | ||

admin Joined: 01/27/2010 Posts: 4985 Administrator | People who play other games are used to training focus concentrating all training (and skill increases) on that one skill. Such is not the case in Broken Bat. The difference between the focused skill improvements and other skill improvements are small (5-10%). It more like a club emphasis on playing a certain way. Regardless of your skill focus, players will end up largely the same. As in real life, that wimpy middle infielder isn't going to suddenly grow huge muscles because you're focused on power hitting. Nor is your radar gun going to shatter because you're focusing on pitching velocity. But it does effect how players develop. Steve |

Rock777 Joined: 09/21/2014 Posts: 9592 Haverhill Halflings III.1 | I use it sometimes if I see a particular skill is behind in development for a couple key youngsters. Or if I just want to get all of my team to develop a little bit quicker in a given skill. Much of the time the stars don't align and I need different foci for different players, so instead I just do no focus, which distributes the training more evenly across each individual player's needed focus.

brentswagger Joined: 03/22/2016 Posts: 265 Lakeville Bears IV.2 | I'm still very new so I may be asking a question that has a very obvious answer. When I click on training it shows 5 batters and 2 pitchers at various organizational levels. Are those the only players getting training? Do I have any control over who gets trained? Thanks. |

Owners can't really influence that growth beyond a small nudge from the training focus. There's no putting points into hitting or power to make them how we want them, they grow into who they were meant to be. Makes finding the guys with the right build for each minor league spot very important. | ||
