1v1 Wingmen only trains at 90% of what 1v1 Guards gives you.

Why is it even an option then? Wouldn't it be better to clean up the training page by removing some things like this?

some people might choose to do it like this for whatever reason.
Same as training IS when playing sf for example.

What prevented you from moving the Center? Lack of depth at the position (so poor game shapes), trying to stay competitive in games (I guess Pro A is harder than my D.IV ), or something else? I'm training a lot of players out of position and that makes for awkward lineups at times, but I didn't feel forced to lose training over it though, so I wonder.

Looking for feedback on my training of my Guard trainees in bigs skills... which I don't feel is going great. Note I'm training 6 guys, but 2 in particular aren't doing much of anything (granted they're not my priority trainees, my 7'1" 19 year old is the big tuna).

Staff:
Trainer - Level 4 Advanced
Youth Trainer - Level 4 Advanced

Trainees:
Age: 20, Height 6'1" Potential: Perennial All Star (henceforth referred to as '20yo')
Age 18, Height 6'1" Potential: Perennial All Star (henceforth referred to as '18yo')

Weekly Training + Pops:
Week 1: FT - Pops 18yo = FT and Rebounding
Week 2: ID C/PF/SF - Pops none
Week 3: ID C/PF - Pops none
Week 4: RB C/PF - Pops none
Week 5: IS C/PF - Pops none

I get these guys are short, but holy smokes I'll be lucky to get 6 pops out of them this season. I was hoping to get some pops on these guys to round out the bigs skills before shifting to a more guards focused training next year, but this is feeling pretty disheartening. Quick commentary, I realize the 3 position training week 2 might have hurt me, that wasn't my intention, but I was still learning how to manage minutes and had to do that. And before I get yelled at for bouncing around from skills, my main trainees are popping, so I'm bouncing between Bigs skills in hopes of getting all the quick pops I can get (hoping they have high sub-levels).

Anyways, really just looking for feedback if this level of slow poppage is to be expected of a short, albeit young, trainee.

the big problem is that you are training 2 positions for 1 position training slots/
ID And IS are best trained at 1 position, the only trainings that work perfect for 2 positions are 1v1, JS and RB.
SO I would either sell 3 trainees and train 1 position, or start training 1v1, JS or RB

That in combination of switching training each week and with them being short isn't giving them enough time to pop.

If we ignore the first couple of weeks, they've had 1 week of 90% of IS, ID, RB.

Even with tall trainees training at 100% you won't get a pop every single week.

At that height, I would guess you would get a pop every 3 weeks for an 18y, 4-5 weeks for a 20y. That might not be totally accurate, but should be an ok estimate.

How can i get arena sponsorship?

Go to Arena, click the down area next to "Arena Designer". In the third row of items there will be some different looking arenas, ranging from $0.2m to $4m. If you buy one of those they will provide money each week under Arena Sponsorship. The more expensive the arena, the more money you receive.

Note that if you buy a cheap arena (say the $0.2m arena) then a few seasons later you decide to buy the $4m arena, you pay the full $4.2m - there is no discount for upgrading. So you might want to save up for the one you want long-term. It also takes a long time to pay off, so it's a long-term investment.

Do you happen to know how long it takes to pay off in general? Because 4 or 5m is way out of my reach, but the smaller arenas (200k or 500k) are within my reach and I wonder if I should save to do this or just ignore everything and continue to push my arena until I have like 15k seats (the arena grind is so, so long, it will probably take me 2 or 3 seasons to get there)
