How the Skill Decay rate works?

Postby HotWingsFTW » 15 Apr 2024, 04:57

Hi Manu,

Can you give more detail about how the skill decay rate works? I know what it does, but I just want to understand the values (0% vs 50% vs. 100%) and how they affect the stats. Say I started a standard one-week tournament with 75% FH power...what would the value be after the tournament for each value?

Also, any particular reason there are only three decay options? It would be nice to be able to tune the experience to have just the right amount of decay, so not sure if this is something that would be considered for a future update.

Hello,

if you want to fine-tune the Decay => topic1-472.php .

The rate decay depends on the difficulty level. Check the info in the link above.

Having 3 different settings makes sense : normal, off, and slower to get much higher skills but still enjoy the mechanism.

I have had two separate playthroughs where I have seen a massive skill decay at the end of the year setting my character back several months.

I play through the last ATP event and then pick the next tournament to be week 1 and there is a massive drop. I don't mind skill decay in general, but I thought there was a year end bonus to offset the decay in that time.

This year end issue made me quit the game six months ago and it is making me quit the game now. It is just no fun to lose all your progress in one click of a button at the end of the year.

This sounds like a bug ; you should send me a Bug Report after having loaded your last automatic save right before the drop. (HowTo => topic5-31732.php )

And you can read "End of year bonus" here : https://www.managames.com/tennis/doc/Te ... l#training .
