You might just have, Bast is such a gossip. Thanks, I only have advanced, tried getting a superior but couldn't spend money with being new.. Have to wait a bit before getting a new trainer.

Hello!

I have a prospect Peter Håkansson with these attributes, please guide me master lord of Swedish NT. What should I do with him?

Age: 18
Height: 6'6" / 198 cm
Potential: hall of famer

Jump Shot: respectable ↑ Jump Range: mediocre
Outside Def.: mediocre Handling: awful
Driving: average Passing: awful
Inside Shot: awful ↑ Inside Def.: respectable
Rebounding: average Shot Blocking: pitiful
Stamina: mediocre Free Throw: mediocre

I though about three options.

1 - Offense:
Looking at your team and your current situation, I would recommend a switching training. It looks like that:
Train 1on1 forwards until you receive an up in Driving.
Switch to 1 position training for PG and train Pressure (OD). Again until you get an up.
After that you switch to JR and train it until an up.
And than you start again with 1on1 forwards and goes through the process.

With this you will get ups in DR, HA, IS, JS, OD, ID and JR.
I would suggest to train like this until OD 15.
Than you move to passing. Thanks to the high skills (OD, DR and HA) passing will train very fast (elastic effect).

With this kind of training your DR should be around 18.
From here on you have two ways. Go for OD or JR. And after you reach 18 in one of them, switch to the other.
The last skill you need is IS. You can train it as on the SF position until you reach the cap or the wanted skill.

2 - Balanced:
You start the same way like in 1.
After your DR reaches 14, you finish the up in OD and JR and than go for passing.
After passing you should train ID and IS. Again, one up in ID, than one up in IS.
After that you can train the last skills in OD, JR and JS.

3 - Defense:
Start with OD. Train it until 15.
Go for SB and train it until 10.
Both skills train ID as a secondary. You will get around 5 skill ups in ID.
After SB go for ID 15.

After this basic training you can train 1on1 forwards until DR 12. Switch to PA until 15.

And from here on you are free to decide if you go for more OD and ID, than you should take more PA too. Or you train JR/JS to give your player more offense. For a NT SF OD 17 - ID 17 would be really great.

These three are some ideas. If one of them suits you, we can go for a more detailed plan

If you guys take look at the transfer list, there is a 22 y/o MVP with OD 16, ID 16 and SB 17. His defense is already at a NT level. And it shows what is possible. He needs offense skills now but with 22 he has a lot of time.

Sounds nice, I will start with Driving this week but do you think it's better to go balanced or offense? This week he popped in OD and Handling so now he looks like this


Jump Shot: respectable Jump Range: mediocre
Outside Def.: average ↑ Handling: inept ↑
Driving: average Passing: awful
Inside Shot: awful Inside Def.: respectable
Rebounding: average Shot Blocking: pitiful
Stamina: mediocre Free Throw: mediocre

Håkansson ser riktigt fin ut. Ta hand om honom och vi har en landslagsspelare av riktigt hög klass

better to go balanced or offense?

I would go for offense

Then I'll do that! :)

Ska göra mitt bästa!

By the way, do you want me to PM you when he pops so you have him updated or should I do that on the site? I also only have advanced trainer, how soon should I try to get superior? I only have 500K right now so it is hard, but I could probably get one this season if I am lucky.

It's enough if you update him on the site. I check everyweekend the new updates.
Advanced is good. I trained my Haek most of the time with an advanced coach and he has almost 130 skillpoints. Perfect minutes and training are more important

I added Stjärnland, Smol and Andersson to the list.
