Hope it helps refine training speeds :)

I gave you 5 balls to even it out. I've learnt to just ignore it, I see so many people post in the help forum and suggestion forum with well written posts with correct answers or good ideas that get 1 balled.

Nice Info!

What level trainer were you using?

Level 4 trainer.

Your incredibly lucky than since in 34 weeks with my main trainee I've only gotten 20 pops with one position training. Lets hope my new level 5 trainer helps increase that.

lol. I wouldn't say lucky :P I just purposely try and train the skill that I know is close to popping. That way I get 1 pop most weeks.
The lucky part was starting with high sublevels though :)

I've gotten 20 pops in 20 weeks I trained two positions all last season.

Nice :D On the same player right? :D
Were you training mostly one on one?

Last season I trained two weeks each of Pressure, Inside D, One on One (forwards), Passing, Jumpshot (wingmen), and Rebounding, all two positions, and one week of stamina and FT. He popped in everything except JR, but had 2 in driving. This season I trained one position: 1 week Pressure, 3 weeks Passing, 1 week Outside Shooting, and 1 week One on One (guards) when my minutes got screwed up. He's had 1 pop in OD, 3 PS, 1 JR, 1 JS, and 1 DR. So he's actually had 21 pops in 20 weeks

I had a level 4 trainer last season. This season I have a level 5.
