Hey guys, quick question here. I've got a roster of 19 year olds at both guard positions I'm trying to train up. I'm trying to fill out every hole on the roster. Jump shot range is next up on my schedule. After 2-3 weeks, I haven't seen as quick a jump as I did when I trained defense or one-on-one (the only difference between these two periods is, during these training sessions, the players were only 18 year olds.) Just curious, have ya'll had a harder time training jump range then anything else? appreciate the time!

yeah JR takes more time to train.infact many managers say that it takes the longest time to train.
as far as the age factor in concerned i dont think that there is much difference in the training speed of an 18 y.o or a 19 y.o.(though the 18 y.o is slightly faster than a 19 y.o but that difference is really small)
but be patient and ur players will pop in JR.;)

In my opinion,the player have higher level of OD,the faster he will popup on JR.
So please make a training plan for your player.

Wow.... you have a lot of trainees... In my opinion 5 is too many trainees. +1 me if you agree or have i just been misinformed that having more then 3 isnt a good idea... Also I would sell Raszka and Jardi. They are both guard positions but have heights of 6'10" and 6'11" that will rapidly slow down their guard training. Especially outside D and jump range. It would be a smarter idea to just focus on the three shorter guards.

I agree with you mostly except i dont think all of them need to have similar potentials or be as high as P. Allstar, Superstar and MVP. Allstar potential is actually fine for lower leagues like him and myself i believe. Any higher is okay, but we don't really need players with salaries higher then 30-40k until we promote a few leagues.

Thanks all for responding! I didn't expect so many answers. Yeah obviously I'm only training 4 guards. I thought I could get away with training 2 different positions when I started last season, but so far the progress has been less then impressive. I was toying with the idea of training Raszka and Jardi to small forwards given their potential and height (it'll be easier now to train things like rebounding because they are taller, correct?)

Just for clarification, you suggest 3 trainees so they each can play 1 game the entire time to ensure they get to 48 minutes?

Also, if ya'll have been or were in division 5, what type of trainer dis you have? I have advanced, but I don't know if that's normal.

Lastly, I was under the impression that all trainees progress at the same speed. The potential is used as a cap onto their salary. I don't understand the logic of spending a ton of money to get a player with MVP potential only to not have the trainer to take advantage of that potential. Have I been misinformed on that?
