Looking more in detail at the player who popped 2 levels in one week (Daryl Edwards) - the only unique thing was that I upgraded from a Level 4 trainer to Level 5 trainer on the week he popped.

22/12-28/12 (Level 4) - 46 mins, Inept IS
29/12-4/1 (Level 5) - 55 mins, Average IS

For several weeks I was training Inside Shot (C/PF/SF). He was trained for 2 more weeks (58 mins, 33 mins) but didn't pop again, then I changed to Stamina training.

Maybe the change in trainer affected it, I don't know but I thought it was a strange thing at the time. In terms of his other skills at the time, he had inept Reb, average Ins Def and respectable SB. I can't explain the reasoning behind it. I have no other players who have done a similar thing in my training.

Trained Shot blocking at C/PF after team passing. Level 10 trainer.

The point of this thread is to determine how long it takes for a player to pop a level, so you really need two pops to generate any meaningful data.

Sorry. Don't want to mess up your data. No more posts for me.

I don't want to discourage you from posting. For instance, if you have two pops on a player, then it would be good to know how many trainings happened in between.

I understood you the first time, too.

From BBCharles, "Driving and handling are very, very similar skills, and training either one will now also result in about 80% of training on the other."

Not surprisingly from the info above, Outside Shooting training also trains Handling to some degree. I had a pop this week.

that seems pretty fast

training PF/C:

I just trained a 19yo in inside shot two weeks in a row (both weeks w/ 48+ mins), and didn't get a pop. This is with a 10 trainer too.

For the most part, they pop every two weeks, but sometimes its once every 3.

Well, I've been training rebounding (C/PF) for 3 weeks in a row now (Level 9 trainer) and have had some good results:

3 players popped each week after training (all had 47+ min).Ages: 20,19,19
2 players popped twice in 3 weeks (all had 48+ min) Ages: 19,18
1 player popped in 3 weeks (25 min - POP, 8min, 0 min) Age: 19

I was surprised with 3 pops in 3 weeks, I doubt whether they would all pop again if I stick to rebounding again next week. I'll now switch to Inside defence for a few weeks and see how the training goes.

I've been training JS for my guards over the past 3 weeks and here's all of the data i've gathered so far. The skill levels are in the number values instead of word values (respectable=7):

first 2 weeks: lvl 9 trainer, this week lvl 10

6'3" 19 YO PG-partial training 1st week, full training wk 2&3-JS pop: wk 1 & 3, JR pop wk 1, DV pop wk 2
JS–6 to 8 DV-6 to 7 JR–4 to 5

6'4" 24 YO SG-full training all 3 weeks-all pops wk 1
JS–6 to 7 DV-0 JR–7 to 8

6'4" 20 YO PG–full training all 3 weeks-all pops wk 2
JS–3 to 4 DV-6 to 7 JR–0

6'2" 23 YO SG-full training all 3 weeks-JS & JR pop 1st week, nothing wk 2, JS pop wk 3
JS–6 to 8 DV-0 JR–6 to 7

6'2", 19 YO SG-partial training all 3 weeks @ pg (wk 1: 29 min, wk 2: 30 min, wk 3: 32 min): pop during 2nd week
JS–4 to 5 DV-0 pops JR–0

6'5", 21 YO SG-no training 1st week, wk 2: 27 min, wk 3: 47 min), all pops most recent training
JS-7 to 8 JR-7 to 8 DV-0

Hope this helps shed some light on JS training for guards. As far as I can gather, the better skilled a player is in JS, the faster his skill increases (unless my 20 YO PG just had really low sublevels before i trained him). I might train for one more week and see what happens, or switch to pressure PG/SG and do some research there. Also, having a player play for more than 90 minutes will harm his stamina. Just so you know. Also, if anyone has an excel spreadsheet they use to do this sort of tracking, please send it to me (BBmail me first). I know this info is kind of messy but hopefully it has all the necessary information.
