I think it can happen anyway, especially with teams that can't afford to have enough depth that's needed when you are trying to win three games in a week.

I have tried to juggle starters and play one or two backups each game, but sometimes that can cost a game. Sometimes you just need to play them all three games to win them.

All these seasons I've never needed to try and win all 3 games in 1 week by playing my starters. Sometimes you can spread your roster over all 3 games and sometimes you just have to plan on losing 1 of those games. The long term effects of ruining gameshape for1 extra win are never worth it and training gameshape doesnt save a player who just played 110+ minutes.

As I said before, that's bad planning if you even try although I do see teams foolishly trying more than I should.

Actually i did answer his question by stating " I've never seen someone state an approximate impact for it."

I just extended on my answer and gave him my personal views on gameshape training so he would get a better understanding on gameshape and hopefully learn something new.

I tend to do this every season for the last 2-3 rounds of the Cup. While it's not ideal, training gameshape keeps all my guys at "respectable" or above, even with a few going over 110-120 minutes. Affects me less because I usually don't have trainees, but there's certainly a time and place to train GS, though I'd say it's more for maintenance than to help boost.

I train GS pretty often. Sometimes to gain an early season advantage or if I'm heading into a week of big inter-league match-ups. A lot heading into the playoffs. You'll get about 1.5 levels per player boost after what it was going to drop to from over playing is figured. It can easily be the difference in a game but comes at a big price if you're training 18 or 19 year old.
