it seems we agree on most points , but i still think cross training isnt as big as a deal people are making it out to be.

i believe the bigger deal is the lost 10% in training speed on what you choose to train , and how that will effect new coming players being able to train national team players.

as i said before i believe alot of national team players will be playing well into there thirties instead of the new batch of players trained under this method coming through .

should make an interesting swing in the power of the oldies

Ok, for my train this is good, but for others managers this can be horrible.

Yeah, now we can do players, with more skills , like a PG with rebounds ... but, If him doesn't have passing?

Dude ... what was that?

i assume his worried that a pg may end up with less passing and more rebounding.

I realized what Saltori wrote.
I was just playing with him (we "know" each other - MSN BB chat Portugal). Nothing more than that.

Speaking of the subject matter, I think his concerns are not justified.
But let's see what the future trainings will tell.

oh ok i was trying to help.

I understood the intent.
Thanks anyway.

I have been playing Buzzerbeater for a year or so now and love it. By far the best online game that I have seen for a basketball sim. The one thing that I have really disliked about the game is how training works.

I have to play my center at guard to make him better at passing.
I can either develop an outside player or an inside player but not both.

Dwight Howard has been brought up during this and I think he is a great example. During the offseason the Magic hired Hakeem Olajuwon (no clue how to spell his last name) to come in and work with Howard on his foot work. Howard was a far better player on offense with that summer of work. That doesn't mean the rest of the team trained on footwork though.

My thought would be to that teams could have up to 3 trainers and a player could work with one of the three. A trainer could have a max of say 5 people a week to work with.
So I could have one trainer working on jump shot, one working on passing and one working on rebounding. The scaling would have to be adjusted so the overall growth of the team stayed in the same range.

You could then have trainers specialized in different areas. Inside scoring, defense. shooting etc etc. I would get rid of the needing to play a certain position to get training time towards it. Having to play a center at guard is just silly.

just my two cents. Overall the game rocks though and big thanks to the big brains who make it happen

i trained Rebounding and one of my guys popped in it but also popped in jumpshot so i guess it's a good thing

Hi people,
I have a question about what's the best for me, I thought this is good thread to ask as I can't see any other there about training players and salary cap. :D
I wanna buy some good PG/SG u21 with good potential and make from him "super guard" with more then 230k salary in 3-4 seasons with passing(10+). Could player with superstar potential grow that much, what's salary cap for him?
Or to buy MVP or HOF which are 1 year younger and does not have high JS and JR?

Hope for fast answer.
