it is not an indicator of how effective his training sessions were. Did u read that part shaq training isn't affected by game shape.

However, Game Shape is an indication of how sharp the player looked in practice and therefore how well he will be expected to play in a game; it is not an indicator of how effective his training sessions were.

I may be wrong, but I believe that this is another one of those situations where the BBs were trying to be cute in their description of the rules and not really a direct one-for-one representation of what the rules actually are. (If that makes any sense)

We don't really have practice in this game - there's the abstract concept of "training" which is connected to minutes played, but how well a players practices doesn't really have any meaning in this game.

I think this is a good example of where the manual is less useful than experience and common sense.

Even a stopped clock is wright twice a day. He is actually correct this time. What the BB's so cutely, as you put it, refer to as "practice" is actually what accounts for the random variable in game shape. It's not nearly as important as the minutes, but it does effect game shape.

no he's not right. BB's tried to describe GS in a realistic way, but that's not how we suppose to teach newbies about GS. But yeah it's Shaq. Knows nothing, answers everything and kills the forum.

form is temporary class is permanent

First week of the season, after the reset, everybody had the same exact game shape. I had two players play 70+ min that week. One about 5 min more than the other. The one with less minutes droped to average. The other one stayed on respactable inspite of having close to 80 min. Random factor at work :)

Just go 10,000 since it is the most cost-effective and it wouldnt drain the economy of a new team. If your playing 40k which mean you are paying 20k a week just to scout an extra guy which I think its not worth it, not until your in a top division making plenty of money each week.
