Hey!

Just started with BB some weeks ago and immediately started training PG/SG with Jump Shot. Have new young trainees and got rid of the old ones. The team is improving gradually as expected but still have some question regarding best assets for guards.

PG - Handling and Passing the most desired ones (at least from what I got from the sticky thread)
SG - Jump shot, jump range and outside defense

When I now continue my training what should I aim for to produce quality guards? train them still in jump shot so they can win games alone? or should I change to passing/handling once in a while so they can make passes to my forwards/center?

Any comments/tips are very welcome ;)

you always want to keep a good rotation of skills...something like 1 skill for every 2 weeks. i don't train guards but the approach is about the same. guard training just requires more skills.

The sticky thread is very useful for working out what skills your players need. Sadly, guards seem to need more skills than forwards.

I train them myself, and I think your long term training plans MUST include Jump Shooting (to train jump shot, jump range, handling and driving), Outside Shooting (principally because it trains jump range quickly, also training jump shot and handling/driving), Passing (which also trains handling and driving) and Outside Defence (an essential skill for all guards and very, very beneficial for small forwards).

Given that handling and driving are trained as secondaries (ie. more slowly) by all of the above regimes except Outside Defence, I'd only advocate training One On One if your trainees are very low in handling or driving. Others may differin that regard, but I'm cool with that. Then mix in Stamina and Free Throws as needed.

Thanks, very useful tip, I'll try to mix training types in a while. It will be jump shot for most of this season as it's mainly bot teams in my league.

Currenty I'm training jump shot for SG + PG and a couple of them needs a bit more, then I'll change it to one of your suggestions.

Dont underestimate One to One...

1) you seem to get more pops inc. IS if you plan to buy train and sell a couple of players this improves people very quickly.
2) I think and I am convincing myself that handling which inturn improves Offensive Flow is a very key part of the game engine... if you have less turnovers and more steals you are having more possession... i would prefer this and to lose RB marginally and have slightly worse JS/JR....
3) I agree guards are more difficult to train... i would recommend rotating skills not training JS all season...BALANCE!!! I would recommend PASSING all season if you can be patient then go upstairs for the JS...... with passing you can play Look inside (cheap to buy some good start up C) and then as your guards become more rounded you then open up more tactics that involve outside offense...


4) You can train better combinations of players... playing C as a PF and a SG as a SF you can train forwards as well.. it is a very flexible training schedule that you can use in competitve game weeks not just when you have scrimmages...

heya, i have a quick question..

is it possible to train a 25 year old SG? ((4155890))
I lost the last league game quite bitterly and one of the main reasons i saw was because of this guy missing shitloads of 3P's and due them playing zone we didnt get many rebounds it seems.

So yeah.. i was well frustrated and thinking about selling him, cuz he simply doesnt fit the requirements for such an important position (score points..)

why would it be imposible to train a 25 year old SG?

it will take a little longer than a youger one, but I don't think it impossible.

They are not your friends; they dispise you. I am the only one you can count on. Trust me.

Of course you can train him, but in long-term, you will be loosing training time

I don't totally understand training and how it works. Say I set my training to Ball Handling for my PG, which player does it go to? Does it go to all players that PG is their strongest position? Does it go to the starting PG? Does it go to any player who played in-game minutes at the PG position? I understand players improve with practice and playing time, but I don't understand how that works when it's done by generic position.

P.S. Is there a search function for these boards?
