Right. So if I have a player like this:

Jump Shot: tremendous Jump Range: tremendous
Outside Def.: tremendous Handling: tremendous
Driving: tremendous Passing: atrocious
Inside Shot: atrocious Inside Def.: atrocious
Rebounding: atrocious Shot Blocking: atrocious

His OD or JR will train a bit slower compared to this player? :

Jump Shot: tremendous Jump Range: tremendous
Outside Def.: tremendous Handling: tremendous
Driving: tremendous Passing: respectable
Inside Shot: respectable Inside Def.: respectable
Rebounding: respectable Shot Blocking: respectable

A bit off-topic: For cases like these I'm happy I live in a small country where translation isn't so profitable as in big countries, so I can watch movies in original language (mostly English). I also play BB in English because it's much easier to talk about skills on global forum if you are familiar with english.

Back on topic: Ah, I see Crazyeye just answered it. Thanks!

Always we can talk about skills without knowing of english names. All You need to do is to use numbers (arabic). Simple.
Knowing English isn't the same as knowing english names of skills in BB, because even managers from England have to learn them after join to BB. In fact I have even problem to remember polish names but I have no problem to play BuzzerBeater and to talk with others about skills. But interlocutor must be smart and use numbers, not to try to complicate obvious things.

You're right, I agree with you here. I forgot about numbers, I also like to use them.

Back to question - 2nd player will train OD/JR faster than 1st player, because in 1st case greater part of training will go to cross training.

You are totally wrong a few points.

I agree, You are totally wrong ;-)


#1 We do not know

1st of all - You don't know. "You" isn't "we" ;-)
2nd of all - if You don't know how something works it doesn't mean that it works in way You think (or want) and it doesn't mean that it doesn't work in way I think ;-)


#1 We do not know that the crosstraining, which has been explained, works the exact same way as elastic effect and secondary skills
It was described in announcement and it works in the same way.

It is that quote:
In the past, coaches would teach a new skill (such as driving) using related things players already knew how to do (such as handling), so that players with a higher handling skill would learn driving more quickly, and players using this method to improve their driving ability would also learn better handling, at a slower rate.

With cross-training, these new techniques emphasize each skill as part of becoming a more complete basketball player, and make reference to every skill. Thus, improvement in driving is related not just to related skills (like handling), but also more weakly to unrelated skills (like shot blocking).


a. elastic evaluation is not random, nor is the application of secondary training

Effect of crosstraining isn't random as well.

Your examples and calculations. It means that if somebody has well rounded player then he will receive penalty because he can't train him as fast as one-dimensional player. It has no sense. This change was implemented to help to create well-rounded players, not to penalize managers who have well-rounded players ;-)

I believe elastic effect changes distribution of training, not increase total effect of training.

You even don't understand my opinions but You said they were wrong ;-)

In the tracking pops in crosstraining thread it has been shown that crosstraining is random.

Skill, which is selected to get crosstraining probably is random. But effect of crosstraining isn't random ;-)
If player is well-rounded then effect of crosstraining is very small. If player is one-dimensional then effect of crosstraining is large. There is no randomness.

Your THEORY that elastic effect is a placebo and nothing more is interesting, but ungrounded.

It isn't placebo. Elastic effect could be very useful, but not to increase total effect of training. If You want to have great player You must set him on different possition (for example PG must play as C to train IS and C must play as PG to train HN, etc). But if You use elastic effect in right way then number of matches, in which this player must play on different possition, could be smaller.
