Hey guys, this is a short post just help those who have been effected by an FM 2013 training glitch. Many weeks ago I noticed something strange with my training screen. The match prep was normal, my ‘general training’ was unaffected but training for ‘this week’, ‘next week’ and ‘in two weeks’ had changed from default to balanced and high intensity to very low!
To add to my confusion, I hadn’t touched my training for months, so why was it reverting to this poor level of intensity when I always set it to default to my general training. The screenshot below shows what I mean.
The training that will be set for next week and the week after keeps changing against my will after pressing ‘continue’ and it doesn’t matter how I adjust my general training either. But what adds to the mystery is the ‘overall workload’ visible in the bottom right corner of your training screen shows my normal workload of ‘medium’.
My thoughts are that this is a visual bug only, I don’t think this actually changes the way your team train, but it is very annoying, so follow the steps below to get things back to normal.
I believe this bug happens when you set your assistant manager to run ‘match training’, so I just went into ‘staff responsibilities’, then clicked the ‘first team’ tab and unticked ‘runs match training’, then pressed ‘confirm’.
Upon going back to the training screen all those future training drop down boxes have adjusted to default again, just as I had them before.
And for those who want nothing to do with match day training, you can now just go back into the staff responsibilities and re-assign that job to your assistant, as of yet I have had no more problems. All training has stayed as I set it up, but if you experience the same problems again I’m afraid you’ll just have to take match training on yourself.
As mentioned, I’m not sure if this did effect the way my team trained, I have had a torrid time on FM13 of late, especially using lesser sides and that led to me wanting this bug fixed…but TBH I don’t think its the source of my problems, I think that all comes down to changes in the match engine. Anyway, I hope this helps anyone experiencing the same FM13 training glitch I did.

Thanks for the tip. This has been driving me crazy!

Me too, was relieved to see it sorted so thought I’d share.

And the most annoying thing of all was letting the assistant-manager take care of the training and have him bitch and moan during games about those same preparations. Glad to be done with that! :)

Haha, yeah I don’t think the training thing is the only glitch this year, unfortunately.

Unfortunately you’re right about that. Although the latest updates seem to have corrected a lot of them (on OSX).

I personally don’t like the training this year, it gives you less control. Seems some o my players who are playing regularly are losing fitness attributes or ball control because of the stupid training schemes. I can appreciate they want to make everything simpler, but honestly, the training in FM13 belongs in FM Classic. I have all the time in the world to play the game, don’t care about simplicity, and want last year’s system back! Rant over.

While I can appreciate where you’re coming from and can understand gamers preferring full control over the training I haven’t had any issues and my players develop the same as last year but with less work on my part, so it doesn’t bother me personally, but this bug did :)

If anything there should be a choice between the current system and the full control one, as I don’t feel I’m utilising my coaches

Do you know where can i train set-piece defending for my team? My assistant manager mentions that every match
Darren Smith
14 января, 2013 at 19:27
Yeah just in the main training screen, look to the top right and set the ‘match training’ to ‘def positioning’.

Does everyone leave training intensity to high throughout the season? I find that my players get injured quite often with that intensity and tend to only keep it on high between the last game of one season untill the first of the next.. but i do notice a fall in player growth when i lower the intensity, any tips?
Darren Smith
31 января, 2013 at 11:57
Well I do, at least for top flight teams, lower down the league ladder might warrant a more average intensity. There’s no remedy to work the players hard and avoid injuries, though I haven’t noticed too bigger a difference in injuries from one intensity to another. Have you tried resting the players a day after each match?
Matt

Yeh I was resting but the injuries seem to have cleared up now and running on high intensity fine. Think it was just a random bad coincidence. cheers

The training on this year’s game is beyond me. On my United save I have one or two players who play regularly, have great morale etc and yet their attributes constantly fall for no reason (although I am sure there is a reason). I can understand it if players aren’t playing on a regular basis, but when they’re playing a lot of games it’s a mystery. Could this down to the personality of the players in question maybe? Or is this way off the mark? My training categories all have 4.5 ratings and above, so it’s strange really.
For this reason I am considering leaving this save for a bit and making a new one with a team made entirely of English youngsters. There seems to be quite a few great English youngsters this year.

While their attitude could be to blame, I have also noticed players dipping then rising again, you’ll always notice it more when players fall in ability so may not be as bad as you think. Other than that I set training to general and heavy intensity. I also focus on individual areas.

Also, was wondering how Shelvey develops in any of your saves this year?
Darren Smith
13 мая, 2013 at 20:28
He’s not bad, doesn’t develop great under AI too often but can do well with human, I don’t have any examples though.
Jack
13 мая, 2013 at 20:57
Cheers for that. I’ll switch it to general and hopefully it might stop. It’s just annoying when you spend time developing them and then the attributes fall. Almost like the game is laughing at you.
I might give him a try in that case. He seems pretty decent even at 20.
How does Chalobah turn out? He has massive potential at the start, although his tackling and determination seem a bit low. In all my FM saves I’ve never seen him even come close to fulfilling his potential.

While Chabolah should do OK I have never seen anything too exciting TBH.
Jack
13 мая, 2013 at 21:14
I might take a punt on him and see what happens.
How about Sadio Mane?
Darren Smith
13 мая, 2013 at 21:20
Again not developed enough in my saves.
Jack
13 мая, 2013 at 21:30
Cheers. Just one more if you don’t mind please: Zakaria Labyad?

I’m having the same problem at International level. I select, lets say, ‘Attacking Movement’. When I click on another screen and go back to the tactic screen, the ‘Attacking Movement’ option is replaced by the’Tactics Only’ feature. I tried this for the other options, yet it still reverts to the Only’ option by default. This does not make sense as I have unchecked the ‘Runs Match Training’ option in the staff responsibilities screen. Please help.

Sorry this is the only fix I know of.
