Training SFs and winning leagues exclude each other. I started to train SFs with Anžic and conceded I'll be stuck in 2nd league for at least 3-4 more seasons. But the payoff will be that much greater, because well-rounded SFs are almost impossible to guard.

Unless you prepare for that and have an excelent SF on defense and not great on anything else =P

Now seriously, What about trainning that player while giving up the cup or use him on scrimages? That wouldn't hurt your chances on the league...

The problem is if he trains on C, all my other trainees train on C. Same with SG or PG positions. I'm training outside players, so playing him on C gives me a bit of trouble in the league also. But I already accepted that, so no biggie.

Training a SF is not difficult. If he's got better outside skills than inside, playing him at PG will be no trouble. If he's got bad inside skills, use your third game to train him. The problem is people for some reason decide to train SFs with only outside players or only inside players. If you know you are going to be training inside for most of that season, train a big man.

Me personally, I'm training a 6'4 PG and a 6'8 SF prospect regardless of what I train that week. The other player I train is based entirely on what I'll be training that week....mind you they are usually 22-25 year old veterans.

personally i think it is the easiest way to train a SF, for example train 3 season guards and after then use your guard trainees as finished players or sell them and start training big after it. When you keep your SF as trainee, he will be pretty soon a good guards like your other trainees and don't hurt you much there and then at big men he is at least a valuable player for the cup through his secondarys.

I'm training SF.. here is my player.


Neil Gero (21068412) Center

Owner: Georgia Rhinoceros

Weekly salary: $ 3 956
Role: rotation player
(BuzzerBeta)

DMI: 17200
Age: 18
Height: 6'7" / 201 cm
Potential: superstar
Game Shape: strong
Jump Shot: awful Jump Range: mediocre
Outside Def.: inept Handling: pitiful
Driving: pitiful Passing: awful
Inside Shot: awful Inside Def.: respectable
Rebounding: respectable Shot Blocking: respectable
Stamina: awful ↑ Free Throw: mediocre

Experience: atrocious


The greatest thing about SF training is he is my only trainee so I can train whatever I want week to week and all he does is train alongside the players who need what he's training. My goal is to make him the best defender. His top skill will be ID, OD, SB, and PA and everything else will be 7-8 or so. He will be a defensive nightmare.

Personally I like this training better because I have players with holes in their skills everywhere. So Gero's training allows me to train but my SG's handling while I get a pop or two for my SF prospect.

We have a lot of great outside shooters. Unfortunately, we play all our games indoors.

i think making him a c or PF is more promising, cause his guard skill ain't a good point to start.

Also i would consider to train more players, cause every lost training is lost money. And if your roster is young the playyer loose value, if they aren't trained and you sacrifice XP and cheaper skills at the current non trainings position. If you have a older roster, you put 2/3 of training mostly in players who didn't increase their value much through it.

I have to agree, he needs a lot of 1v1 training, which isn't so bad, but starting at 4 OD he also needs a LOT of training to be able to cover the guard types that some folks use at SF. At 6'7" that OD training is gonna be a bit slow.

But PF is pretty promising I think, since with a couple PA and OD pops, and 1v1 forwards, he'd be rounded out pretty well. Then you could focus on the inside skills and train some other big men in the process.

Really not hard at all. Don't waste money on training. It's like buying a 500dollar car off the side of the road to race at NASCAR.... You might as well walk and save yourself 500bucks. WHen you ahve the money to train, do it. Training is expensive and players are cheap...


What are you even talking about? We are talking about D.V. Oh that's right, you don't have the slightest clue about the struggles to get out of the USA D.V leagues. This doesn't equate to buy a 500$ car and competing with Nascar. Its buying a 500 dollar car and competing with other 500 dollar cars. Talk about missing the target.

Dr. Christopher, I agree with Tanqosz. He looks like a good candidate for PF.
