my team missd alot of shots in our last game and i was wondering if i should train jump shot or one on one because about half of the shots missed were drives that ended in a missed layup.

i shot about 75% of my shots in the paint.

How many shots you missed should never be your consideration when choosing training. Likewise, where you took your shots depends mostly on what tactic you selected.

Several other simple rules need to be observed when choosing your training, though:

* Choose a training regime -- i.e. decide whether you'll train guards or big men. Guards usually require some sort of a rotation of Jump Shot, Jump Range, Outside Defense, and Passing. Likewise, big men should be trained in Inside Shot, Inside Defense, Rebounding and Shot Blocking.

* Make sure you have enough young players to train -- this is closely linked to choosing a training regime, too. Looking at your initial set of players, you'd want to train the type where you have the most young talent, and supplement them with a few additions from the market. Make sure they are the right size -- while possible, it's usually counterproductive to train guards taller than 6'4" and big men shorter than 6'9", and the right age -- I would suggest 19-21.

* Buy a decent trainer from the staff market -- 6 and 7 are usually a too expensive luxury for a beginner, but level 4 or sometimes even level 5 should be attainable.

* Rotate your players -- a good training regimen is to have 5 train, and train 2 positions (e.g. PG/SG or PF/C). If you rotate them correctly in your 3 games a week, each of them should receive 48 or more minutes, and therefore will get full training night in and night out.

* Sit back and relax! -- BB is not an instant gratification game. For that matter, it's not even a quick gratification game. Turning your players into stars requires long and concerted effort -- 2-3 seasons minimum.

* Once think your players are skilled enough, sell several of your trainees, and buy reinforcements at other positions, and new youngsters to train. Rinse and repeat until you promote to the NBBA in GM-JuicePats stead who is at this point spending 4 days a week scouting the 9 million potential USA national team players ;)

Hope this helps!

Either one or two weeks will be fine. The point is not to have one skill become much higher than the others, because its training speed slows down.

when your guards have all(or mostly) the same weakness, it could be good when you first train that skill for some weeks, until it was on the level from the other skills.
