Hi, I have a 27 year old, 6'2 shooting guard with good offensive skills and an MVP potential. I'm trying to make him my starting point guard but his passing is awful. My question is: is it still possible for his passing skills to pop if I continuously train his passing?

Possible, YES! Worthwhile, NO!

A 27 year old player will take along time to train. I would guess that it would take 6+ weeks of one position training to get a pop.

Gee thanks. I guess I'll just try to make him a scoring point guard.

The MVP potential is irrelevant To reach their full potential (especially if potential is high) players have to be trained from 18 or 19. At 27 training will be very slow so unless he is part of a training plan with some young guards i wouldn't focus training him at all. Who else were u planning to train?

Haha. Sorry for the bad news.

As mentioned, you need to base your training around a few things: 1) Potential 2) Age(18-21)

Players with poor potential or that are over 22 start to really slow down training wise.

If you need a hand with training please feel free to send me a PM. I can try and help.

I would try and find some 18 or 19 year olds on the TM, not sure if u have much money to spend though.

Balkin and Ramas are both ok. They have a decent amount of potential and will surely help your team. Next season I would look to find a couple solid trainees, for now there is no point trying to tear down the team.

Both Balkin and Ramas are 20 and I have 2 potential point guards both 18-19. I haven't really decided on who to train.

Your PG's potential is the issue. They are both only 'star' quality meaning they will max out sooner and train slightly slower.

I would go with the big men for one season and then start with trainees next season. Hopefully you can draft a beast and build around him.

Well you've seen my roster, who do you think should be my starting PG?
