From the rules section:

The first training area on the list is Team Training, and this works a little different from the rest. When this is selected, the second menu lists three choices for training areas: Game Shape, Free Throws, and Stamina. For these attributes, it is easy for the coach to train all of the players on your team (he can have them shoot free throws for an hour or run laps around the building), and they dont depend too much on in-game practice. Therefore, selecting one of these options will train your entire roster, whether or not they play in any games that week.

I am not sure if letting a guy play for 120 minutes won't have a negative effect on his form... Anyone?

In my opinion yes, but their shape will not be changing in the same extent because of the difference among the playing minutes.

Just a thought: Because game shape resets to respectable at the beginning of each season, it doesn't make a lot of sense to me to train it. Stamina would seem to be a much more logical choice at this point of season 5.

why would anyone want to train game shape? it goes up on its own if you play the people you want. stamina and free throws are the only team training worth training.

Not necessarily. I'll give you an example: I went into double overtime in the Cup semifinal this season, so some players went above the 80-minute limit. I might have wanted to train Game Shape in order to keep my players in decent shape for the cup final next week.

but did you train them? i've had players go over the 80-minute limit and still be fine...around strong and proficient. and i've never had a player drop below respectable, unless of course i don't play them that much.

In this particular case -- no. I had multiple players in proficient game shape, so I figured I'd be fine. In retrospect, this might have been a mistake, since half of them plummeted to respectable, which is quite a significant difference in terms of performance.

My two best players suffered two week injuries that resulted in a heavy drop in game shape. I should have trained game shape last week but I didn't and now my team is heading into the finals with my two best players fat, lazy, and out of shape.

Once I scored a basket that still makes me laugh.
