Undergoing outside defense training

Nice - you should easily get him beyond my guy but im telling you the OD training is painfully slow.. do you think his passing level is perhaps also compounding the speed? Would a couple of levels more passing help the other skills increase a bit faster?

You have a beautiful player out there!

do you think his passing level is perhaps also compounding the speed? Would a couple of levels more passing help the other skills increase a bit faster?

What would be the base for this reasoning?

OD is a real pain. The big problem is the training selection for Pressure.

I´d love to have a "wing" option for pressure training.

Unless you can have this kind of players positioned always as a SG, it´s pretty hard to raise OD.

I've got a similar guy. :)

I would've liked to train up his outside D, but I can't stick him at guard. His 7'3" height is also an impediment.

@dhoff.. you know who my guy is!! He is actually 6ft 10 so Kainan-Maki you may have more joy with your 6ft 8man than I did.

We have had a thread in our Fed recently where Juice has convinced us that having more rounded players dramatically increases the speed of overall training.

We discussed how fast RB/ID/IS pops if SB is very low and although a lot of managers prefer not to train SB as it seems to have a more minor effect on the Game Engine and it is also pretty wage intensive it would suggest that by having a low SB in relation to the other big man skills that they will train slower.

I guess its a trade off as the more you train SB the closer you get to the soft cap of skills so you might not get the extra skill ups in the areas you do want to build in.

Anyway my point is that if both of our players were similar in height, age, potential, etc etc and the only difference was the passing stat I think my guy would train slightly faster on the other outside skills.

I am going to try and give my guy more IS/JS and poss 1 more OD & ID but ive also got a 6ft 5 guy who has had 4 almost 5 OD trainings at PG/SG and hasnt popped from Prolific to Sensational although he has popped on RB/ID and IS straight away when I did inside training....

Sometimes the training results i get further confuse me!!!

check this one. my SF:

Jump Shot: tremendous Jump Range: proficient
Outside Def.: strong Handling: proficient ↑
Driving: proficient Passing: average
Inside Shot: prominent Inside Def.: proficient
Rebounding: strong Shot Blocking: average
Stamina: mediocre Free Throw: respectable

i am training him. OD, PA coming next..

Do anyone got a good SF to sell?, it's hard to find a good SF without getting ruined. I would be very happy if someone had the right guy for me ;) I will probably have around 900 000 available so it's a kinda good SF im looking for ^^

Heres my version of your man!

Jump Shot: wondrous Jump Range: proficient
Outside Def.: prolific Handling: strong
Driving: strong Passing: mediocre
Inside Shot: proficient ↑ Inside Def.: strong
Rebounding: strong Shot Blocking: average
Stamina: awful Free Throw: respectable

Experience: average

he is the guy thats had 4.5 OD trainings and no pop but IS/ID/RB all popped recently. Hoping for a few more skill ups still to come but i think they will be v.slow..

Beautiful players out here and they're getting better and better. I wonder at that age are these players?

Personally training also SF-s for some season or so now. Way off from these guys but main projects just turned 19. With 3-4 seasons hopefully there should be something to post out here also.

@dhoff.. you know who my guy is!!

I thought he looked familiar. :)

If Juicepats says so...

I believe too it´s a tradeoff.

Maybe the only difference is that with the same amount of time to train one main skill you get rewarded with a couple of levels of passing (if you train passing and then another main skill).
