Hi everybody, first of all i would like to apologyze about my possible spelling mistakes and without sense. I from Spain and it's the first time I post in English.

I have two players 19 aged:

(17985581)

Jump Shot: pitiful ↑ Jump Range: average
Outside Def.: mediocre Handling: mediocre
Driving: average Passing: respectable
Inside Shot: average Inside Def.: average
Rebounding: respectable Shot Blocking: respectable
Stamina: proficient Free Throw: strong

Experience: atrocious

(19375604)

Jump Shot: strong Jump Range: mediocre
Outside Def.: awful Handling: mediocre
Driving: awful Passing: inept
Inside Shot: mediocre Inside Def.: average
Rebounding: average Shot Blocking: respectable
Stamina: awful ↓ Free Throw: awful

Experience: atrocious

Well, my question is about the speed of training in one position or two positions.
1. What would you recommend me?
2. Is there a big diference between training one position or two?
3. In what order would you recomend me do the training?

Trainer level: Advanced


thank you a lot for the answer!!

EDit: At the moment I'm training Jump shot

There is quite some difference betweeen one and two position training, but there are some skills that can only be trined on two positions or more while still being important. Still, we'd need to know their sizes and potentials to give you any useful advice, as too much depends on those.

Edit: Ah, Sorry, I overlooked the links. Yeah, the first one is a great SF trainee, but will need lots of JS training. Try training them both simultaneously in JS, Inside skills and OD for now, until the second one looks good to you, and then continue improving the outside skills of the first guy.

Wow, both of these guys are nice prospects. The first guy would make an awesome SF, obviously you need to train him in JS for quite a bit, probably about 4 weeks. After that, all of his stats are very good at the moment, but after JS I would train One-on-One for 3-4 weeks and then work on his inside skills. I think he is a better prospect than the big man, but if you want to train him I would get at least 3 pops in ID, 2 in IS, and 2 in rebounding. Of course, you could do some two position big man training and get them both to get some pops before moving to outside training. Obviously, when you train one position you're going to get quicker pops- I think you should do one-position on the outside and two-position on the inside.

You're right there. They are both good prospects, but them being 19 hurts - and the team should be built around those two great prospects. So training 1-position whenever the training isn't JS, 1 on 1 or Rebounding is a must.

Thanks for the answer :)

So it's better to specialize the first player that is a Center to a SF¿ in this case, what level of JS you would take as reference to stop training this skill?

hi! thanks! one is from my draft and the other guy I bought it. i'm a noob in this game and i don't know too much yet and i don't know the speed of trainings.. xD

so in 4 weeks the first one how many levels could it get of JS? avarage? I have this two guys for training but there are another players i could train too in the team by rotations, so my question about one or two positions was because of this. My goal is to get that these two players got a 1M value in the market ( not to sell it, only to have the value)

And do you think that the first (hall of famer) would be better SF than a Center?

three guys to train are perfect for one-position training. Try to get each of them 48 minutes per game, or instead let each of these two start a game with the other as a backup, switch for the other game, and start the third trainee in the third game with the one main trainee who got less than 48 minutes as backup in that case.

in four weeks of JS training, you'll see 2 pops probably with an advanced coach. You'll want a lot more though - for a SF, no less than proficient (and, ultimately, for a hall of fame SF, no less than marvelous). Training an entire season of JS only at some point is definitely advisable. Luckily, JS is also important for PFs, so you won't lose much by training the PF with the SF. By training JS for Forwards, you'll even improve their Inside SHot a little.

and yes, the hall of famer does have the size and skills to become a SF. He's a C mainly because he lacks a reliable Jump Shot - but that's one of the more easily fixable problems.

You'll probably want to train their OD and ID first though, so they won't cause trouble. One season of Defense training, and then one season of JS training sound about right for now; then, you can see what else you need (Rebounding, Inside Shot, Handling/Passing, JR) May we see the third trainee, perhaps?

Thanks a lot for your advices, i will do all as you say and if you want I'll send you the results at the beginning of each season and you will have information of how it went. I had a wrong idea of how i should train them...

I have three possible options for the third trainee, these ones:

(20556365) 22 years old +1 training of JS

Jump Shot: strong Jump Range: mediocre
Outside Def.: mediocre Handling: inept
Driving: average Passing: awful
Inside Shot: mediocre Inside Def.: average
Rebounding: respectable Shot Blocking: inept
Stamina: strong Free Throw: inept

Experience: atrocious


(16631594) (this one is the best option i think) +3 training of JS

Jump Shot: respectable Jump Range: respectable
Outside Def.: inept Handling: respectable
Driving: pitiful Passing: mediocre
Inside Shot: respectable Inside Def.: strong
Rebounding: strong Shot Blocking: inept
Stamina: respectable Free Throw: average

(17776857) the youngest

Jump Shot: average Jump Range: inept
Outside Def.: mediocre Handling: respectable
Driving: respectable Passing: mediocre
Inside Shot: respectable Inside Def.: mediocre
Rebounding: mediocre Shot Blocking: inept
Stamina: awful Free Throw: pitiful

Experience: pitiful

As you have adviced me i'm training JS for fowards, and i'll keep doing it until the end of the season to get a proficient(as minimum) level for the SF. Then i'll train OD and ID. I started the game one month ago and your advice sounds good. I'll get results in long-term and with lucky maybe i get the promotion.

If you think that the players exposed before are not good for training I have 262k$ to buy a new trainee or if you think it's better to sell them for buying an old player with lot of defense.. I don't know xD I think i should buy a PG or a C to get more defense and get the promotion (not for this season, i think it's too complicated) any feedback is good to me.

P.S: I think i'll never have a marvelous JS xDDD Should I train 2 seasons to get it, isn't it?

thanks a lot!

train the youngest guy with them for now. He can be a nice backup PF. If you're training JS first, you can train all of them at the same time though, until next season at least.

Yes, you'll need to train JS for two seasons to get it to marvelous for that guy, but you shouldn't start that way. Get it to proficient first, train his other skills, and when those are good enough, come back to training JS further. For now, having him shoot proficient jumpers seems good enough, for DV anyway, but there will be a time when you'll need more.
