No, your PF is not getting training because RB trains only PF & C positions, not SF and that is why he doesn't appear in manage my team training minutes summary. if you want to train him RB you must play him as a C or PF 48 minutes. even yeou can train Rebounding PG but he must play as a PF or C.

other question about sf.what do you think, a sf with 211 cm height is maybe too tall?

Absolutely for training dwarf skills. Otherwise there is no problem, since height does not play a role in the game engine. I actually have a small forward who is 216 cm / 7'1'': Pekka Harju (3199871).

I see, thank you!

Well my second best C is a tiny 6'4" and I am scared to play him as a C and even with him at PF I feel a little bad. Is this really not a problem?

It depends what inside skills he actually has rather then his height. Height is only factored in when it comes to training. Height isnt factored in when games are played.

I think that's something that must be improved in the future. If you play a 7'4 C against a 6'2 the big guy (in real life) would have a massive advantage in every single possession. And that also works at the other end. A 7'0 PG will always have tons of trouble guarding a 6'0 guy on the perimeter

I think it is ok how it is its hard to train a 6'2 centre and 7'0 point guard anyway so the bigger C and smaller PG should have a skills advantage already.

This is something that works as intended at this point.

this is not something that needs changing as its already reflected in the skills.
just because a guys 7 foot dont mean his great inside and a great rebounder , a 6 foot 4 guy who is a great rebounder will out rebound a 7 foot poor rebounder, height is factored in at training and i think its the same in real life. yes 7 foot player would start with better skill inside then a 6 foot 4 player, but if the 7 foot player never trained and the 6 foot 4 guy did, it wouldnt be to log till the 7 footer would be getting dominated.

It doesn't need adjustments at all. Everyone knows the dwarf will suck compared to the giant due to the difference in height. And a few inches in height away from ideal aren't going to matter depending on the skills of the player. Look at 6'4 Barkley playing POWER FORWARD, Dennis the Menace 6'9 and one of the best rebounders and interior defenders of all time. As for giants vs little guys supposedly having an advantage, 6'7 DeJuan Blair with no knees absolutely destroyed 7'3 Thabeet. Dwight Howard 6'10 kills Big Z 7'3. Everyone in he league killed Shawn Bradley 7"5.

As for big little men, Magic Johnson, LeBron, Dirk Nowitski and Kevin Durant debunk that theory.

The training aspect is only to make it more realistic to actual player heights. If you train an athlete like Dirk(6'11) or Durant(6'9) in shooting and guard skills all their life they will play a little man's position. Same thing with guys like Blair, Barkley, Rodman, Tisdale. If you train a guy timing, and hw to use his strength to rebound and defend, he will be in a big man's position.

These guys are exceptions to the rule, but it's absurd your complaining about it considering they are exceptions to the rule in BB too.
