i'll just say one thing. as long as we are talking about a secondary skill which isn't really used even four times in a game by a given player i think it is just balanced enough.

sure, creating elastic effect is nice, but we all now that it is brutal trying to train a player with DR HA 13 13 but with OD 9 because we wanted that elastic effect. not to mention that what you gain in elastic you loose in age, namely 10% year.


as for the earlier mention regarding of prevalence of driving during a game. yes you can play LI or other tactics but that is very much dependent on the PA of the passer, so it is niche in terms of impact. sure it is a nice to train and have but i think it if it trained at a slower pace nobody would try training it.

Completely agree with the time and training speeds. With YTs it makes it easier to train other skills besides DR. I've seen multiple guys that haven't trained DR get 13 or 14 pops. Some of that even in out of position stuff. Bigs popping in PA three weeks in a row, bigs popping in OD multiple weeks, guards popping in ID multiple weeks. YT has taken away, I believe anyways, the requirement of having to pound 1v1 first to get elastic effects. One of these days I think people will realize it. But until then, we will continue to see the same exact player on the TL for pages and pages but going for crazy amounts of money.

I can only go based on things I have seen, so no factual information. Would love to go over the numbers as I have a lot of data from USA players, just lacking the time currently to go through it. But, it really does seem that out of position training is much quicker and, in my opinion, a better option with the YT. 1v1 training really doesn't seem to train much quicker than it did before. So then my question would be, do you train out of position first knowing you'll get more pops, or do you train 1v1 and continue to utilize elastic effect even though out of position won't train as fast later?
