"Under a manager’s profile, there is now a list of around 100 skills to be learnt, broken down into four categories: coaching, management, physiotherapy and scouting. The skills themselves range from the more general, i.e. ‘first team coaching’ to the very specific, like ‘head injuries’ (treating, not causing!), and have five levels to complete.
They all have an impact on gameplay; a manager who is skilled at ‘passing coaching’ will improve their players’ passing stats at a greater rate than managers who have focused their skills elsewhere. Each skill takes a pre-defined time to learn, with higher-level skills taking considerably longer to complete. So while you may be able to add ‘set-piece coaching level one’ to your managerial CV in 40 minutes, it will take you 27 days to get ‘judging potential level 5’.
A manager can only be learning one skill at a time, so deciding what skills to learn and in which order has become a crucial part of the game. Many new and hidden features also become visible after certain skills are learned, with SI promising to add more during the life of the game.…"
Tiesa, vēl pastāv cerība, ka tādējādi tiek atbalstīta specializācija, ne spēlē pavadītais laiks. T.i., ja skillu izaugsme notiks neatkarīgi no tavas darbošanās spēlē, būs iespējams uztaisīt rindu ar attīstāmajiem skilliem un tie resetosies ik pēc pāris sezonas or smth.
