I don't think it's worth changing training strategy mid season but is going to be there last season training. I never noticed training slowing down because of potential (soft cap) just a steady minimal decrees due to age. But This was like hitting a wall a pop every few weeks to nothing in 8 weeks of Jump Shot, 1 week of Pressure and 1 week of One on One.

Yes this is the push I finally needed to change to single position training. After this season Oliver will still probably get some JS or 1on1 when we do that but his days of improving his OD, JR or PA are numbered. One thing your guys have MUCH higher salaries than mine so maybe I can still squeeze something out.

Yeah keep training Oliver to the end of the season, you may have to think of a new plan for the future, it's just not worth it 10 weeks and no pop's.

I'm still getting some pops with Dell'Asta, he's 24 years old and a big man but he's getting his JS popping every 3-4 weeks now which is fine. Still got some life left in him yet. Albeit his potential is Superstar, so that surely helps.

Allstar is good enough to make II worthy guards, but when they cap they will find it hard to compete in ABBL..

Good option is.. (provided you can detach yourself from your favourite players) to sell your completed player, and use the money to buy some half finished trainee, so the performance won't drop too much... but the ceiling will be a lot higher...

HeadPaperPusher is collecting capped player data to study potential cap. Your player should be useful to him. You may share your player to him.

Both John and dave popped in JS this week.

Dave is 24 and took 9 week's to pop in JS.

John is 25 and popping every 4 weeks in JS.

They are both allstar and have similar skills, doesn't make sense to me. I wonder if there is some sort of random factor to training?

They might be "similar" but you need to count the total skills. I would love to hear the exact totals of promaries and secondaries in both. For the record Oliver is 23, also All-Star potential, printed salary of $ 29 664, seems to still be popping, he has 67 primary skills, a feeble 10 secondary and only 10 tertiary for a total of 87 including stamina and free throws. Maybe his bad secondaries will allow me to pump his primaries a bit more. I hope so.

Would love to hear from anyone who has an opinion about total skill points at all-star level.
