Can the Sports Psychologist mitigate the hit on the game shape when you buy a player?
Or their effect is limited only for the training update on Friday? Like a coefficient in the GS formula*

*Next game shape = 8,75-0,36*(9-PreviousGS)^1,2-0,00036*(ABS(MinutesPlayed-60))^2,145*RANDBETWEEN(0,9;1,1) * SportPsychologistCoeff (obviously the formula is very old and probably not accurate but I use it here for reference)

The tutorials are same due to how elastic effect works. And hidden interconnections between skills in training.
You usually start 1v1f on guards because you want them to shoot and build up DR + HA because they give elastic to JR, JS, OD, PA and each other. And during training you also train IS and JS which build elastics even further. So then when tehy get older you mitigate age penalty with elastic bosst.

Similarly with HA on bigs, builds elastic for PA and reduces number of turnovers. But bigs have penalty on HA training due to height. Thats why you start with it, because you mitigate this penalty with age. And when they get older you mitigate age penalty with height boost for inside skills.
PA can be a finisher for bigs, since it doesn't get penalised with height.

It's not really people are copycats, but there are many hidden systems, which havent been changed for years so it's really well optimised

I'm not arguing that. It is the training meta and managers who train young high potential players are strongly incentivized to follow it. My question was whether some managers tried going full anti-meta and succeeded to create 20+ OD, 20+ ID, 20+ RB and 20+ SB player. Was that achiveable? I was curious because when I played with the buzzer-manager's salary/potential estimation tool it said it was impossible. I had a feeling that can't be right. The tool had to be flawed. I'm a big fan of the show MythBusters and littleGuest provided a hint it was actualy plausible (322394.921).
