I am considering doing that for a full season (next season). My team plays good D so I would like to improve my shooting percentage.

Is this a good idea? How many times will my players go up if I am training the whole team?

(Currently I am training my PF/C in inside defense. I plan to do it the whole season. Last year I trained a full season of inside scoring for my PF/C and got good results.)

usually its a better idea to rotate training. high skills sky rocket player salaries. team training in jump shot will not get you many skill increases in a season.

Well I figured by the end of the season I would have pretty solid inside players, and I want to start working on my PG/SG/SF.

Nobody on my squad got above prolific, so I was hoping to get my inside defense up around there as well, and then start working on my guards next season.

the way most users work their training is to focus on PG/SG or PF/C positions. they will rotate skills every few weeks (most commonly 2 weeks) since skills partially train other skills thus resulting in more skill increases. now with that said, users will take their trained players that have reached a certain level, usually at the point that they can no longer afford to train them or need money, and put them on the transfer list. once the player is sold they will have the money to acquire players that play positions that they do not train.

so if you have inside men that have prolific inside scoring, but mediocre-respectable ID, RB, and SB they will usually get passed over for players that have strong/prominent skills in all those areas. you would get more money with well-rounded players. so i would advise you to continue training C/PF and then sell some of them to get good players in the PG/SG/SF positions.

The primary goal of training is to improve trained players. Everything else depends on circumstances and approach. You mentioned only the most common.

Yeah I was gonna say...what's the point of training players, just to sell them and buy players somebody else trained? That is the hattrick approach. Seems to me I can just train my own players and save a lot of money.

I was going to train-up 6 PF/C, sell two of them and keep the other four permanently, and then start training guards. I got a "hall of fame" potential point guard in the last draft, I figured I should keep him and make a player out of him.

But I have definitely axed the team-training idea.

hello mate

a few weeks ago your players were 1 year younger, they are now 1 year older and therefore pop less quickly :)

Try training OD like I am doing, a nightmare :P
