Blackout Rugby

Keep getting more and more addicted to this game. Im first in Seniors, and second in Juniors.

 

Smelly to give me access to NZ forum.

 

Dominated in my Juniors and Seniors over the weekend.

 

Well I'm in the semifinals of the cup now but I think this is where my run ends. Hautapu Hopefools has an epic squad.

 

I may have to sign up again, seeing as I spend way less time on Battrick now.

 

Semifinals is a fair effort, I think I made it to the 3rd round.

Im coming first in both seniors and juniors so im happy for my first season.

 

It'd be great to win the cup but my opponent's strengths are in my weaknesses (i.e. my scrum) which just compounds things.

 

Dire that BR doesn't work with Chrome. I think that is what made me quit in the first place :o.

 

Well you never know, Im backing you

 

I think it was, and I remember telling you to move to Firefox soo do it FFS.

 

Dont think there is.

 

Somebody to get Swimmerdoog back on here

 

What is the best way to train your players?

 

Yeah thats the main thing I'm having problems with.

 

No more than two sessions on a single skill due to diminishing returns (just like in BT). The only skills I'd give three sessions to are kicking for the flyhalf, strength for the props and maybe even jumping in a lock. Don't bother training anyone older than 25 because they train waaaay too slowly. Go for younger players just like you would in BT.

Skills needed for each position:
Prop: Strength, tech, defense, weight (115kg+)
Hooker: Handling, strength, tech
Lock: Height (200cm+), jumping, handling, tech, strength
Loosies: Tech, strength, defense, handling, jumping
Scrumhalf: Handling, attack, speed, agility, kicking
Flyhalf: Pretty much everything except for tech and jumping
Wing: Speed, agility, attack, handling
Centres: Pretty much everything except tech, jumping and kicking
Fullback: Defense, speed, kicking, attack

Also, assuming you all only have L1 trainers, I'd team train stamina and defense/handling (your choice on this one but stamina is an absolute must).

I also assume you're focusing on improving your team as opposed to training players up for rep squads so ideally you won't double up on sessions for skills apart from kicking for your flyhalf in order to get the most efficient use out of your trainers.

Finally, if you're playing a bot or "private" manager, play WNWIM as you get more in game training from it.

 

What's WNWIM?

Everything else is a big help, thanks.
