Which isn't so special as it's the same thing but...

[Just a suggestion]

Imagine you got 3 trainees and one of them has a serious hole in one of his skills, and training it together with the other two might get unwanted pops in the other players. For example A and B have 17 OD and owner does not want an additional pop on those...but C needs some OD seriously. Usually this means either train C and risk others popping, or train just C and make others lose 1 week training, or C has to pack his bags... *cries*

OR

3 big men training together, and 1 day team finds out the reason why they're doing bad is because the backup who's the third person in training together in a full position training regime for big men is hurting the team with his passing. Again same scenario, either waste training time, live with it, or change of players...

My suggestion is giving the option for players to send a grand total of -- 1 -- player to a special training center where you may train him separately. You still can only train the same number of players INCLUDING the guy sent to this daycare, I mean special training center.

BUT

Training takes a hit, maybe 80%? Or 70% compared to normal?

Players have to PAY a decent amount so they don't overuse it (then again someone will debate saying then only rich people benefits, well maybe can try find solution to that)

And concerned player might even lose a few sublevels in gameshape.

Any other penalties for this.

What you guys think?

That's exactly what I was going to debate and I personally don't see any solution.

I would say having one guy lacking in a skill that the team overall has enough of is not as big of a problem as you think.

If your C has atrocious passing and your PG's have strong passing, train them together or train two other players who could use some passing instead of your PG's (do it when you play weak opponents so you don't lose because of a scrub playing PG)

And remember, there is a lot more difference between atrocious(1) and pitiful(2) than between strong(8) and proficient(9), so your C will train "faster" than your PG's in terms of on-the-court play (as opposed to skill levels). Of course if he's taller or older that will be negated by the training being slower to begin with, and while jumping from 1 to 2 is more impactful on performance than a jump from 8 to 9, we cannot say the same of salary, so that might also be a problem.

Everybody faces the same dilemmas. It forces people to make decisions they don't necessarily want to make, which is a big part of what makes your opponent unpredictable and fun to play against.
