So, anyone have an idea of how they calculate the penalty?

Absolutely no idea. He did not share that information.

That's annoying, was wondering how significant it was.

The feeling that my players were training under their true ability prompted me to ask the question in the first place, so I'd suggest that it is significant enough to notice and to care about.

Not very significant or else all those training unbalanced players would have been complaining of training slumps...i dont focus on balancing players myself and haven't seen a problem

To be fair Penny has posted this in the past.

I was thinking about this again recently when they announced that new youths are now created with more starting stats. I was wondering if they have thought about the impact of this 'penalty' because I've created youths with 0 or 1 in everything and 3 in a single stat. I didn't think it through thoroughly but I suspect it may be possible to get a youth training lower than he should because of his starting stats.

Any way up, I've still never triggered this penalty and that's including training jumpers etc so I don't think its anything to worry about.

wow thanks for that

maybe im reading this wrong but is he saying that you shouldn't have a player who has more than 11.5 in one ability if their total ability is 100 ?

It's a long day but can i ask you where did you get the 11.5 from?

100 stats total, average stat is 10 (100 / 10 stats).

You get a penalty if the combined average of the stats trained by the exercise you're using is over 115% of your average stat, which is 11.5 in the case of an average stat of 10.

EDIT: Real Example

Jochem Van Ryper has 115 stats, so his average stat is 11.5. His speed/accel/stam are 15/15/16 respectively, or 15.33 on average. Jochem Van Ryper is penalized when you train Interval Training, because 15.33 is greater than 115% of 11.5 (13.225)..

Yup, i was just looking at him. Thanks for the explanations too Ben.

How can you be so sure? This may just mean it's too insignificant to notice.

Maybe somebody could ask that question to the devs or invite them here to elaborate?

When i read your opening line, i felt anger rushing through my veins where i wanted to post immediately and say that i am very suspect about my training lately also. I kind of talked abit about it to Rich. I have been using a training regime and no wonder some of my trainings have been looking very suspect!!.

It could mate but if that's the case its still not worth worrying about.

I've continued to train with a routine designed for optimal stat placement and my training is better than every so really nothing to fear in my opinion.
