Hey guys i just got a training update on my players and it interested me. I trained pressure for PG, to try to get my trainee to pop in outside defense but that didn't happen. This is what happened :O

This doesn't make sense to me...

1. Why did my PG pop on inside D when i trained him for pressure as a guard?
2. Why didn't my PF pop on inside D considering my PG did and popped on outside D instead?

Thanks in advance

E.B.W.

There is secondary training. Pressure trains OD as the main skills but also gives some training to ID As for the pops you received your PG would have had a high ID sublevel and your PF would have had a high OD sublevel.

You can get an idea of secondary training here http://www.buzzerbeater.com/community/forum/read.aspx?thr...

Correct answer seconded here.

In addition now 10% of your training effort goes to a random skill which can build sublevels up and multiple unexpected pops are now possible.
