BuzzerBeater Forums

I'm about the entire season late in reporting this, but a while ago, earlier in the season, I trained on PASSING. My starting PG currently is at a 10 in passing and he popped 1, but he remained a 10 in passing.

is this a normal occurrence or was there a malfunction?

I know i'm crazy late reporting this and probably isn't a way to see what happened since it happened so long ago, but is this something of the norm for someone to pop but not elevate their rating?

I bet he popped from "proficient" to "prominent".

no, he was prominent when I purchased him and he was supposed to pop to prolific

10 to 11

Training is one of the things in Buzzerbeater that doesn't malfunction without sending a massive alert to the devs. So the one of the things that's almost certain is that there was no training malfunction.

My best guess is that you confused proficient for prominent (two words that look similar and appear in almost the same color), and then it seemed like the game indicated a pop where there was none.

It is also possible that the player trained with his previous team, if you purchased him after their (and before your) training update. This is also an easy mix-up, since green arrows are visible on player pages, but not in the transfer list. In this case, the player is not going to train twice.

(of course, there is also the consideration that not everything pops in 1 week of training, but this is not the issue there, since I assume from your post that youyou observed a green arrow next to that player's skill).

From what I can tell it went from 8 to 9 nine weeks ago and 9 to 10 this week.

no, I purchased him last season (13) at a 10 passing. I remember this because I lacked a decent PG and he fit what I needed, and at a 10 passing, I had to have him. I tried training him up for passing during that season, but he won't pop. So I left him alone.

I trained him earlier this season (14) again for passing and he finally popped, with the green arrow, but he remained at a 10. I thought, with the updates to the game that maybe the point rating will go up later in the day or so, but it never did as the player remains at a 10. And I've been training my low post players ever since, and I haven't trained any perimeter players until this week, and I'm training Shooting Guards. This week I popped my starting PF in inside defense, not any of the guards.

The records that I can look at indicate otherwise, unfortunately.

Weird thing, because this past week my power forwards trained on inside defense and one of them popped, green arrow for him. There is nothing for the PG in question.
