[list][*]Doctor now automatically reduces driver skill atrophy rate, maintaining higher skill levels for longer[/list]Is this supposed to work counter-effective as well..? It looks to me as though both my drivers have lost instead of gained skill over the last race/training sequence. Both drivers are 21 years of age and I think my doc is not particularly bad..

The calculation was essentially rewritten for the update.

The nearer the driver is to level 20 the higher the atrophy becomes (which wasn't the case before). Now high level drivers have to work harder to maintain their performance. That's realistic anyway, top level athletes work harder than amateurs to maintain their peak performance, and it's designed to prevent this easy level 20 on all skills people were concerned about.

Atrophy is almost non-existant on very low level drivers, which should reduce confusion with new managers unfamiliar with all the game mechanics.

If your doctor is very good, he can reduce the rate quite a bit.

Common Jack, a young driver doesn't atrophy... He is young, fit, he doesn't need to run 20 km each day to stay that way.

Hmm.. So you're saying that top athletes stay at their top level by training hard, yet mediocre (only halfway the 20 in overall level) are already loosing skill level despite training. In my opinion this would only make sense if we were allowed to let our "top athletes"  train harder (read: more).. otherwise the sytem is quite contradictory in itself.

Or does this have something to do with the fact that my drivers have improved much faster than my XP level would allow me to have? I'm level 9 in XP and therefore my doc's skill level is also a 9.. My drivers are level 10 and 11.. Would a doctor with equal level to my drivers balance this / make my drivers improve? If so, I think it's a good solution! That would solve the discrepancy of being able to hire young drivers that hardly atrophy and increase in skill levels much faster than the manager's XP would allow...
