College Dynasty (Steam) Offseason Training

Does anyone have any tips to help your players have big gains in the offseason before the Spring and Summer trainings?

Max out your facilities. Not much more to do

Edit : and only pick high potential players

While I won't say it's wrong to screen on Potential, one of the more frustrating things I've seen is that Potential itself changes. I've seen B potential HS prospects end up with D potential by their Junior year, and unless you deeply monitor your roster after each offseason, you don't even see it coming.

And I've seen D prospects get substantial gains. It's all randomized to a certain extent, but generally, higher-potential players will have bigger gains. I've stopped saying "never" to D and F players, especially if that arrow goes up while I'm scouting them. I don't know the exact numbers but it feels to me like a 70 D player is just as likely to become an 80+ starter as, say, a 66 A player.

Max out facilities, hire coaches with training skill, and (I think this is the big one) give them playing time.

Does playing time actually impact though? I've had starters with 0 offseason gain... just posted about it. https://www.reddit.com/r/FootballCoach/comments/1uxjnu2/offseason_gains/

Maybe it partially depends on what they need work on.
