Hi, I am a newbie and hope to get some answers from those of you who do have more experience here.

1. If you would like to train 'Outside Def', do you have to select 'Pressure' as training type, or can't you train this skill. If not, is training 'Pressure' only for tactics?
2. When I selected trainingtype 'Pressure', iI selected the training for PG, SG and SF....is it recommendable to train all three positions or will this affect my trainingresults too much (from a negative perspective).
3. When does the BB week starts....I have SC scheduled for 10/18 and 10/20, is it correct that these are in two BB weeks?

Thanks so much and if you have more useful suggestions.....feel free to post them as well.

1. Pressure trains your outside defense, yes
2. The more positions you train, the slower it goes. I'm not sure on the actual numbers of how much 3 players training pressure is effected compared to 1 player training pressure though.
3. BB week starts on saturday (aus time)

when does the BB week start?
below is the USA schedule
( I am sure the rules have a similar week for The Netherlands
The weekly schedule for the USA (using next week as an example) is:

my guess is that the week ends with one of the two in bold. Either the Training update or the Financial Update. My guess is that it is the Financial update

I HAVE read the rules, searching for instances of "week" and there is no mention of when the week actually ends. I assume training will be based on the games since the last training update. but am not sure on that.

EDIT
I just re-read the training part of the rules-
it just states

Players should ideally get 48 minutes per week, or one full game, in order to get the maximum benefit from their training

is that a BB week ( and when does that end) or a calendar week??

Thank you so much for the above received responses! It is good to see that more people take this as seriously as I am planning to play!

Good luck

good. lets plan on having a scrimmage in the coming "BB Week" !

this is repsonse from a GM regarding my asking when does BB week start.

(1980.2)

basically, he said the same as the above poster said, BB week goes from Saturday to Friday

these are for USA anyway, so it coincides in USA with Training Updates. which occur at 2AM Sat in USA
and the Financial Updates are on Tuesday in USA...

hope this helps
