HEHE - I was thinking about how I really hadn't paid any attention to baseball in years, and that the Brewers must now be a crack team, and the Yankees no good these days.

I agree it'd be nice if actually fighting would have a good chance to increase skills, and either training were allowed while fighting, or fighting had a better chance than training. It might be good if fighters had different improvement rates from one or the other type of experience, so some fighters would learn better with teachers, while others would learn better from experience, and some might be good or bad at learning from both.

Fighting having a small chance to increase skills will probably be a part of the update patch. Someone made a good point of experience being a good teacher as well as training.

But training will still be the generally more focused and effective way to increase stats, to maintain game balance and keep training important in the game structure.

Sure. A good rationale for how it would make sense is that although actually fighting does (in the next patch) give good experience (and makes money rather than costs training fees), the fighter generally gets beat up a lot more seriously than those who are training safely, and has to spend a lot of time resting and healing.
