Hi all,

anyone care to share their opinion on possible traning strategies? Does it make sense in BB to vary the training e.g. between outside shooting and outside defence to get the guards up to a solid level on all important fronts?

Cheers

So, here is question for those who train PF/C..
How much does height influences on training? Is a player with height 208 cm tall enough, or not?

I'd say yes, 208 is definitly tall enough.
how much influence, don't know, actually I have no clue! We only know there is.

From my 4 seasons experience I would say yes it is a big difference.

Recently since the BBs made the training faster (temporarily) the difference is more obvious. Shorter Guards train a lot faster than taller ones. I assume it works the same for inside training.

In the short run the height is not so important but over a few seasons a height difference will create a few levels difference between 2 trainees.

EDIT:

I would say 7'0" (213cm) for inside skills and 6'3" (190cm) for outside skills are the best minimums/maximums for training.
SF players would need a medium height to train the best in both areas.

Well neither was really explained. It happened in season 2. It was intended to make the teams in the game have players to spend there money on. Back then you hardly ever saw a player with strong skills being sold.

As far as I remember there was no mention of when this speedy training would end.

Correction: It happened during the All Star Break during season 3. The increase was said to be a bit faster than 150% (but less than 200%) for all players, and about 200% for the "youngest players". I'm going through the archives to find a link now.

Found it: (6866.1) There sadly is no complete quoting of the news item, but many elements were discussed. BBs Domenico & Charles both participate in this thread.
