Ha by "fun" you mean when single-position training Len Smiley, and also playing Rafael Faina (he of the pitiful passing) and Rich McNeill at PG during other games in the week? If you want to see how important passing is, look at how my ratings dropped from my games last year to my first game this year. By the way, the U21 scout messaged me about Len Smiley, and in the process we also discussed Faina and McNeill. So I think I may train Faina to be a LI SG and McNeill a SF. Then if I can kill this league, get a lot of money, and buy a good PF, then I should be able to do well in D.IV. How many D. IV SGs can guard someone with 11JS/HA/DR/IS?

EDIT: I noticed you got CT'ed on a TIE in your first D.IV game. What a way to start.

Oh did OSU scout you? You should really listen to him, he is the owner of U21's Kenny Luther, who is now 22! His skills were:
JS: 12 JR: 10 OD: 17(!) HA: 13 DR: 10 PA: 15(!) IS: 1 ID: 9 RB: 5 SB: 5

Him ^

Amazing LI PG.
Your type of guy I guess?

Here are some 18 yr old guards that L. Smiley will be going up against:

That lineup you used in your Cup game will be scary in the future...especially after Len Smiley gets better.

What really annoys me is that in that cup game, I did everything right. I put Smiley in all three positions, filled every other slot in my depth chart with every player active that night, so there was no one without a listed position. Nevertheless, come garbage time, the GE gives this stupid little "it looks like we're in garbage time" announcement and out goes Len Smiley. So much for single-position OD training when the GE cheats the main trainee out of 13 valuable minutes. But still, he had a triple pop to open the season, so he's still improving well. When he gets good, look out. Also, when I get enough money to buy a legit PF (with good ID/REB) and make Faina and McNeill SG and SF in my LI offense, that should be pretty dominant. I'm really curious to see how effective that could be.

Okay so here is my tip for getting 48 minutes for someone. Have only 9 active players

Lets say Len Smiley will be at PG, your lineup should look like this.

PG|| Starter: Smiley, Back Up: Smiley, Reserve: Smiley
SG|| Starter: A, Back Up: X, Reserve: X
SF|| Starter: B, Back Up: Y, Reserve: Y
PF|| Starter: C, Back Up: Z, Reserve: Z
C|| Starter: D, Back Up: U, Reserve: U

EDIT: It doesn't work all the time, have fun ^^.

Strictly Follow the Dept Chart and For fouls allow them to play.
Just in case you did not do those.

I presume you're talking about Smiley. He had the triple pop the first week, then no pop the second week (JS training b/c he didn't get 48 minutes at PG) then this week was pressure training and he popped twice. Now he looks like this:

Jump Shot: average Jump Range: respectable
Outside Def.: respectable ↑ Handling: respectable
Driving: inept Passing: respectable
Inside Shot: awful Inside Def.: inept ↑
Rebounding: pitiful Shot Blocking: awful
Stamina: awful Free Throw: mediocre

Rafael Faina is getting ready to own people too as he triple-popped in week 1, then no pop in week 2, then an OD pop this past week. With 11JS, 9JR, 11HA, 11DR, 11IS, hopefully he'll be difficult to guard even in D.IV. What does Cliff Pringle look like?
