Anyone ever do experiments to find out how likely it is to learn certain abilities when the bar is full? I spent the last couple hours on something like this and here's what I've found out so far.

Rally Hitter odds are about 1 in 5 or 6.
Gyroball odds so far are 0 in about 400.

It would also help to pay attention to how old the player is that is learning them. ;)

20 for Gyroball, 21 for Rally Hitter.

Reloading for abilities makes reloading for a Gambler's Ring in Success Mode look easy.

I'm now curious about abilities like Contact Hitter and Power Hitter. I wonder if those are on a different level than the ones I've tried for before.

I know abilities that really aren't even worth the in game time it takes to learn them succeed about once every six tries.

Gyroball and Intimidator combined I'm 0/2000 reloading for.

If I had to guess, I'd assume Contact Hitter would probably lie somewhere between them for Success rate. But I don't want to waste a couple seasons trying to find out.

Also a bit curious about Pivot Man, has anybody here tried for any of these before? If so, what would you say the Success rate is?
