1. How do you manage player's minutes in the allstar week? My team has 6 trainees and not only I would lose 2 training spots but also the weekly minutes distribution looks unmanageable.

2. Outside defense training:
- 90% efficiency for one-position SG
- 80% efficiency for one-position SF
- 70% efficiency for one-position PF

but if you go for a three-position training for SG/SF/PF, all three receives 90%? Am I reading this correctly?

Edited to add another question

REGARDING OUTSIDE DEFENSE Training:

Training types Coeffs:

Coach Assistant Coeff:
1. minimal 0.88
2. basic 0.91
3. competent 0.94
4. advanced 0.97
5. superior 1.0
6. exceptional 1.03
7. world-renowned 1.06

Pressure (Outside Defense):
Pressure (PG): 0.5 OD, 0.1 ID, 0.05 Ha, 0.05 Dr. SUM=0.7
Pressure PG/SG): 0.38 OD, 0.08 ID, 0.04 Ha, 0.04 Dr. SUM=0.54
Pressure (PG/SG/SF): 0.2 OD, 0.04 ID, 0.02 Ha, 0.02 Dr. SUM=0.28

Therefore, for example, where a small young player in a PG position might get 1 pop every 2 weeks with 1-position (PG) training, this same player would get 1 pop every 4-5 weeks with 3-position training (PG/SG/SF).

I mention 'small young player' as height and age will play into this scenario, as will their potential.

So, to answer your initial question (in a round a bout way):

The All-star week is deliberately challenging. Many managers choose to train FT or Stamina in this week. If, like me, you want to utilise maximum training, then choose either 2 of your best 3 trainees (if you are doing 1-position training) or, like me, focus on 4 of the 6 trainees (if doing 2-position training).

As for minutes? Yes, you will not get all of your players the required minutes. So, as others have suggested, focus on those players which matter most. Your starters and/or your trainees. For me it is a mixture of both.

Regardless, this week is unlike other weeks. Accept it and make the best of it to the best of your abilities.

Good luck.

Can't they (people in charge) just not state a false information in an official training page?

There is no false information, the rules just do not reveal every secret.

What's the purpose of stating it is 90% for SG/SF/PF if it is not true?

It is true, because there are players which are not lined up in the designated position for this training.

If training the same training on 3 positions would be as effective as training on one single spot there would not be any need of single position training … this is obvious so you have to take this reduction into account.

Lets do the math:
1 Pos. Training: 3 x 1 = 3

Same trainng but on two spots:
„2“ Pos. Training: 6 x 1 x 0,65 = 3,9

So you have an increase of 30 % but in comparison to the one position training it about 35 % slower.

What tactics should I use if I want my defenders to focus on the opponent's small forward? Does an SF count as an inside player or as an outside one?

Hi all,

last July (2024) I bought a one-time supporter package, which I extended again this year.
However, the achievement “You made this all possible” (which requires purchasing the BB Supporter package) still hasn’t unlocked for me after more than a year and 2 purchases of the Supporter package.

As I’m a bit of an achievement junkie, it keeps bothering me. Does anyone know if this achievement only unlocks with a supporter subscription and not with a one-time purchase? Or could there be something else I haven’t considered? Maybe it’s even just a bug in my case?

Hi MrJ

Because I also have a question about training speed, I came across your (still very new) post.

You posted the following overview:

REGARDING OUTSIDE DEFENSE Training:

1. minimal 0.88
2. basic 0.91
3. competent 0.94
4. advanced 0.97
5. superior 1.0
6. exceptional 1.03
7. world-renowned 1.06

My question: Are these coefficients generally valid comparison values ​​between the different trainer levels, or does this only apply to the training type mentioned? That would be crazy if a world-renowned trainer were only about 20% better than a minimal coach.

Or was this overview not about the quality of the head coaches at all, but about something else?

In any case, I'm looking for an overview that shows how much impact the trainer levels have on training speed. I have to decide whether to get a new coach or expand the arena instead.

If you (or anyone else) have more information on this topic, I would be very grateful!

Thank you very much!

Hi there, SHKELZEN.

These are simply the value the various levels of coaches provide regardless of the type of training.

I have a level 6 coach at present and am getting an average of 14 pops per season doing 2-position, which I'm happy with. I would expect greater training in a season or so when I switch to single-position training.

So, a level 6 coach is giving me slightly greater than 1.0 over the season.

I still hope to secure a level 7 coach when the price falls within the range im willing to spend.

Thank you for your quick reply!

Then that was indeed the information I was looking for. I was almost certain that the differences between the trainer levels were much higher.

At the moment, it doesn't seem worth it for me, and I'd better invest in my arena.

Cool. Having the info is helpful, but it always needs to be weighed against your own club's needs at a given point in time.

Good luck this season.

I would be grateful for advice.

In what tactic will the PG use IS against its opponent?
In what tactic will it be the largest part of the game? (with a significant advantage over the defending PG's ID)
Princeton, Outside Isolation, Look Inside?
