Update 0.6.8: Manual Training Control — Pick Who Trains What

Training now has a Manual mode. Assign each player a specific attribute to develop or set them to Rest to recover fitness, with quick actions to rest everyone or reset all to their strongest stat.

Training has always been a blunt instrument: one focus for the whole team, or one focus per position group. Version 0.6.8 adds a third option — Manual mode — so you can decide exactly who works on what, one player at a time.

Switch the Target selector to Manual and the full squad list appears, sorted by overall rating. Each player defaults to their strongest attribute, so if you apply immediately you get a sensible, development-minded session with no extra thought. But the power is in the dropdown next to every name: pick any of the four attributes — goalkeeping, defense, midfield, or attack — to steer that player toward a specific ceiling, or choose Rest to skip the session entirely and let him recover fitness instead.

Two quick actions sit at the top of the list. "Rest everyone" sets the whole squad to recovery in one tap — ideal after a gruelling fixture run or before a derby. "Reset to best attribute" clears every choice back to the default, so you can start fresh without retapping each player. The global training focus selector is hidden in Manual mode, since every player carries their own assignment, and the intensity setting still applies across the board.

The result screen now labels Manual sessions correctly in its summary line, and the per-player effects list shows exactly which attribute each man trained (or that he rested), so you can read the session at a glance. Load any save, open Training, switch to Manual, and start shaping your squad one player at a time.
