What about to get some % on FT when you train IS and JS? Would like to hear your opinion.
Cheers!
I think it should be required that you set a percentage of training aside for stamina, a percentage for free throws, a percentage for game shape, and the rest goes into the TSP skills. I think the minimum should be 10, and that the skill training would be sped up so that it's maybe twice as fast so that you'd get the same results as today if you allocated 50% to TSP and 50 combined to FT/ST/GS. That of course means that teams that are able to get by (either because they're tanking or in a crap league) with the bare minimum in the other skills can train players about 40% faster than before, but the days of everyone who can even remotely manage minutes always having very good game shape will end.
Of course, since Hattrick went to that model with their stamina training ages and ages ago, I can't really claim it's an original idea by any stretch. But on the rare occasion they do something wise, I suppose it can't hurt to borrow the idea. ;)
[edit: Oh, and as far as the question specifically asked, rather than my alternative... I dunno. I think FT training is different enough from jump shots, outside shots and inside shots that while making it a secondary of those solves a game mechanic issue, it doesn't seem the ideal method. If, as we all agree, FT shooting should never, ever be 0% on a player in the game who is paid to play the game and goes to the line more than about 10 times, it should be something that every player has happen, not just those who happen to train any chosen skill in a training position some week. But that's my opinion, which is no louder because of the glaring capital letters before my user name or from the tasteful avatar of a dog who is a whole heck of a lot older now than when the picture was taken.]
