I asked for that some time ago already.
Is there any statement from an official? Am I really the only one that hates it having to keep my 130k C play on SF just because I have to do some rebound training once in a while? That is so annoying.

And one more thing: When will the attendance calculation be changed? It´s overdue. I had a 11-0 run (including cup games), then lost one match on the road. As a result my arena was visited by approximately 25% less fans. In NBA stats there is a very common stat line called "Last 10 games". How hard can it be to exchange the "clean the arena from fans after one loss"-code with that one?

I agree with both of these, especially #2 because it is very unrealistic..

Your first suggestion has had perhaps more discussion in the Forums than just about any other topic. I don't think the developers are inclined to officially comment on this since they haven't yet, they just make the occasional change to training as they see fit, such as the change a few months ago that allocates a portion of the weekly training to a random skill that wasn't being officially trained. I personally like that your suggestion keeps coming up since it is my opinion that may the one area that really should be addressed in a big one sooner or later, and that it will probably take several seasons to "transition" into a radical new paradigm. But all things considered, this is still a heck of a game and we only complain about this issue since we care to make the game better.

Regarding your second suggestion, I proposed something along those same lines here: (141756.1) My suggestion there still stands today, the only thing I'd add to my suggestion is that the team's performance in the last home game(s) also affect the Fan Survey, particularly with regard to attendance, since fans that go to a game in person and see a win at home will have the notion that going to games in person is a fun experience. (Perhaps close/exciting games should also be factored in, but then this could be getting the whole Fan Survey into some higher form of mathematics that is too difficult to solve and still won't be accurate enough for all of the effort anyway).

Overall, I think your ideas reflect popular sentiment among those of us whole think BB is real life and that place where I live and go work, etc., is really just a game.

I think the much easier way to solve the training problem would be to offer a wider range of positions for each training type. In your case rebounding for forwards only would be very helpful and even better than excluding a player.

if he norally trains just "C" and then make position training for just forwards, it might be maybe ok to play his normal PF at C and a lot of the PC actually are C in that game - but who says the SF need reb training and the C trainees fit good on sf.

I don't agree with number one because making training hard is a feature of the game. However recently training has become a lot less worthwhile with the cheapness of players so I am not 100% on this.

Idea number two I am totally in favour of. As if a NBA team will have an empty arena hosting the Lakers because their last away game to the Heat was a loss.

I agree with the second suggestion, fans should attend based on how the season is going not just the last game...
