1.Before, I tested the "friendly matches" by banning matches. I noticed an anomaly when I did a comparison test, so I checked the archive of previous tests and found that the type ofsuspensionI had before was wrong
The correct situation is: Any player, playing in U18s, U23s, friendlies, official leagues, international competitions... :
All games counted as "matches" (regardless of whether it is a league of any prestige ,and How many prestige the opponent have ) will allow players to "grow more" .
2.Two test groups, each with 11 coaches, each responsible for 1 type of training (set in the coach page)
Set all coaches to half stars (all abilities of all 11 coach are = 1) and compare all coach abilities to 5 stars (abilities = 20) :
I only tested it once, and the difference was about 3%, which is a pretty small difference, It could be a random error (That is, the coach has no influence in game.) , Or it could be that the coaching staff's influence is simply very small
Edit 26/2/2025 : A more precise representation of the numbers looks like this:
Before the age of 24, there is basically no need to worry about participating in high Reputation leagues , You can supplement almost 100% growth with friendly matchs.
Starting at age 24: The mechanics change, at this point friendlies no longer get you all the growth, you need to add a certain level of official play. And the Reputation of the official games began to affect growth.

Expand Friendlies don't have the same reputation as league games, in fact they are really low - at least that's how I remember it (could be wrong). So more realistic scenario would be 10 rep for friendly maybe even lower, and league games 100+

The "reputation" in the table is indicates the reputation of the league in which it is playing , Nothing more (and I don't doubt that league prestige affects friendly matches)
All friendlies in the test were against "Very small reputation teams (foreign)" here
azsumnasko said: @animatron Unfortunately not really. Reduce the size of the squad and it he will be played.
@harvestgreen22 Have you tested with let's say 40,50,60 games (friendlies) per year? Do you think we can increase the gains if we have more games? Expand
While it is true that friendlies match can be played twice a week and 60 games a season, I have only tried 40 friendlies match at most in tests
Reason: I didn't continue to increase the number of friendlies match mainly because the schedule itself will have its own matches, I can't schedule friendlies match on the same day of the match, and I don't know how to make/build a blank match league, so I can only schedule so many matches because of the positions that have been occupied
can increase the gains if we have more games : yes ,conjecture based on the logic of its operation
