Physical Training

my Team
I keep training my drivers on physical but keep saying no change. Stamina is 20 but weight not lower any more and they are not 51;)

It looks like you saved physical for last? I think this was brought up a few weeks ago, since you are maxed out, the weight not dropping is going to happen. Had you done physical first (or at least before your driver reached 20 in just about everything), it should have been able to drop to the minimum.

On the plus side, you can see how driver weight impacts results.

Thanks Greg i did miss that post ;)

I am doing physical first and i have a couple drivers with 20 stamina and they still lose weight.. So im guessing his answer fits. Now can someone tell me minimum weights? I know ive seen it on here but cant find the post

As far as I know its 51 for male driver and 46 for female. it makes no difference what height they are, this is a hard limit.

their a few rare cases I have seen in the past
female 45, 46, 47 is the lowest
Male 48, 49, 50, 51 is the lowest
Might be a height thing?

Wow... 48kg male driver?! That definitely narrows the gap to the lightest female drivers.

So if I understand well: first do you have to get them down by training them on "physical" and then finish the rest? If "close" to 20 all other factors the weight does not fall anymore. Right?

I think there was some "early" drivers that were created well in the past that had lower weight limits iirc.

But these days, any driver I train, and I have trained many, the 51 seems to be a hard limit for male drivers.


And yes, I always train physical first to max. If you think you might have to lose 30kg in weight, this would be very hard to do on a 5 star driver who's training has little effect.

Yes, for now you have to get weight down before all the other trainable skills hit 20. As long as one is still 19 you're still OK. But it's usefull to do weight early anyway because it has only very little impact on the driver level and thus you don't loose (much) training speed unlike the other skills.

Thanks a lot :)

Hi
I got a new driver with 20 stamina but weight is like hell 83kg, and after consuming nearly entire health it said no change, was expecting 1kg can reduce to bring this 83 to 52 it will take 62-65 days training. around 3-4 season. if it works properly, if not I dun know when it will come to that point

From what I understand his weight is never going to change now that you have maxed everything else. Not sure if this is by design or a glitch/bug.

Daniel mentioned this 4 days ago. I also suggested it would be much more beneficial to do weight first, as it wouldnt take anywhere near as long as 62 days.

Jamie what i understand wen we train for Physical then before stamina is fully 20 the weight gets reduced to 51kg by that time, so this must be some glitch or may be the driver scouted with 20 stamina and the training never happened for the physical attribute for him..

I dont fully understand your explanation, sorry.

But my understanding is as follows.

When you train physical, each time it reaches 100 it will either bring stamina up 1 or weight down 1 (I am sure there is some hidden logic behind how it chooses which to do). Once stamina reaches 20 it will then reduce weight every time the gauge reaches 100%.

The only exception would be if when you reach stamina 20 and this is the last "skill" to reach 20, at this point your drive is "maxed out" and can no longer be trained.

I firmly believe, and most people agree I think, that training physical to its max first is best. Max stamina 20 and weight minimum. It takes only a few days, rather than they 60+ days you were going to have to wait.

Jamie i hired this driver and it was 1st session of his training in my team , so dun know exactly who trained him to be max 20 in stamina.
What i observed and experienced whenever we train any driver for physical, each time it reaches 100 it will either bring stamina up 1 or weight down 1 [as you also told] and definitely there is some logic which guides weight to reach to 51 before stamina to 20
so how come this driver din followed that logic and stamina reached to 20 where as the weight is still 83kg

Fast food eaters always find it hard to shift a pound or two. lol

If the driver has a low weight to start with when starting training, then there is a chance weight will reach lowest point before they get 20 Stamina. If not then you will have to keep on hitting the gym to get their weight down. There no point crying it's not getting lower when it can get lower, if you started there working on a diet (physical) in the first place before working on speed (driving ability) and consistency (mental).

Maybe Jack could add some extra realism and force drivers to gain 1Kg with every year they get older, if he changes how it works.

If there is a game logic that reduces weight to minimum in roughly the same time Stamina reaches the cap of 20 it failed my drivers as well. There were up to about 15kg left to train off after hitting 20 Stamina. But since other skills (Driving and/or Mental) were still below 20 that was no problem because you can still continue to reduce weight with more Physical training. Only if every other skill (with exception of the untrainables Talent and Experience) is trained to 20 that you can't lower weight anymore.

Jack mentioned in some older thread about this that it isn't intentional. Weight was overlooked as the check if a driver finished all his training was coded.

Lot's of the drivers I have had are around 10 exp and everything 20 & they all have different heights and weights. These are people I have been using for testing, in the game theres a few of them knocking about somewhere Petrov was one of them

ok so conclusion better to say bye to PETROV, thank god my previous drivers are with me and i m having season break to get all these aspect of the driver's traning.
Thanks guys
