Training sessions are held during Spring Training, which is the 1st and 2nd of each month. There are four training sessions each season, two on each day. The next training sessions will be held at these times: 01 Feb 2009 08:00:00 AM 01 Feb 2009 08:00:00 PM 02 Feb 2009 08:00:00 AM 02 Feb 2009 08:00:00 PM For each of the four training sessions, you can pick from any of the training types listed to the right. The blue color is for batting training, purple is for pitching, and yellow is for fielding and baserunning. Each stat listed is a possibility for earning training. Any training can fail and produce no results. Statistically, about 18% of trainings will fail. Players who get old will not retire, but their skills will decline as they age. The table below the training types shows how much each stat will decline each year. Just like the trainings can fail, this decline can also fail, and this decline is not guaranteed each year. The first year that any stats decline is when the player turns 34. Players can receive up to a 50% bonus for having a lot of playing experience, and can recieve up to a 50% penalty for having no playing experience. To be considered, this play time must come during the regular season the previous year, or in spring training of the same year before the time of training. The specific requirements are listed in the table below.
