i have tried training both specific positions and the whole team, it seemed to me training a specific position doesn't really benefit those players that much more, while training the whole team at least gives more players training. Anyone have any ideas about this?

Also I was wondering if playing a player for 50 mins versus 100 mins in a week makes a difference in terms of training for players? Like is it the same effect after 48 minutes no matter how much that player plays?

appreciate any suggestions

Thanks

Training the whole team is way less effective than training one or two positions. You may of got lucky with your team training pops but that won't continue. It takes around 7 weeks to get a pop on the same skill with team training while if you training 1 or 2 positions it take 3-4 weeks max.

Having a player play more than 48minutes doesn't affect his training. ie a player who plays 100minutes will get the same amount of training as a player who plays 48mins

If you want some more information check out this thread here: (78242.1)

The only players who will get trained are those players who ACTUALLY PLAYED at the position during the training week. It does not matter what their suggested position is.

Correct on all accounts.

Even a player who plays a minute at the position will get some (very minimal) training.

no, the progress is saved, and he used the already learned thing already in game.

You could see that very good with low Freethrow skills, where you could get a lot better percentages with a training even without a up.

Every time you train something, players will increase their skills. We don't see a "pop" until they go past a whole number, but every training incrementally helps.

When you change training (either position or skill type), the skills do not revert back to where they were prior to training... they stay where they are after the training. [So, as you say, it is locked.] Say, for example, you train jump shot for 3 weeks and the is no "pop." The next time you train JS, there is a pretty good likelihood that a player will pop. [All of this depends on a number of factors, like age, soft skill cap, and trainer skill.]

It should also be noted that training in one skill primarily trains a skill... but also give you skill increases in other areas. For example, I trained JS for Guards this week. One of my guards popped only on JS. Another popped on JS and Handling. A third popped on JS, Handling and Driving.

Now, if I continued to train JS... I would not expect to see a triple pop on the 3rd guy for quite a while. However, the first guy might get a pop in a different area that was not JS next week.
