Af first i was training gaurds, then i stupidly decided the day before the training update last thursday to train power forwards and centers in inside shot, because i need some low post scoring. But come training update on friday, the only thing that happen was a drop in stamina with one of my small forwards whom i wasn't training at all.

I've learned my lesson though, when i train one position, i'm going to stick to that position all year long. I'm going train gaurds all season long next season starting this week. But i didn't get any pops last week, and i had trained at least 2 players.

I'm sticking to gaurds from now on, i understand that sometimes you don't get pops. But could the reason be that i switched positions and that's why i didn't get any pops? I switched from gaurds to centers and power forwards, which something i'll never do again. One season i'll train gaurds, another centers and power forwards, how does that sound?

Also i'm hoping to get a couple of big men in the draft that's coming up with good inside shot, at least respectable, because we're a jump shooting outside shooting team, and i'd like to start to be able to score inside. Our problem is is that we just cannot score, and that's the biggest reason i think we were so bad this year, whether or not we made the playoffs.

I'm trying to figure out what offensive tactive is best for our team, i've been successful with run & gun and semi successful with motion. I think we need a bit more defense as well, especially perimiter as you can see in my last league and playoff game. I'll work on pressure some time next season, right now though, i have to boost my offensive flow a lot, which probably means jump shot, jump range and passing, i have plans on moving up to div iv after next season as i really want to win the league next season.

Yeah, i will stop buying those scrubs, the first week of next season, i'll buy a player or two because i know they'll be pretty cheap. I'm actually going to do mostly 2 position training, mainly gaurds, i guess i'll switch every couple weeks to big men if that sounds good.

When i build my money up a bit more i'm going to buy some 25-30 year olds with 6k or more salary. I already have one player like that in a power forward with 6k salary, he's a veteran. I just like getting trainees, but any way, i have two trainees that i'm developing and eventually i'm going to either sell or fire some of my players after the draft.

I can't get any good players 6k or above right now because of lack of funds, but my funds are building. Next season will be a special season.

Sticking to one type of training (guard, interiors) are the good thing. And not week to week, but also season to season. Changing to guard one season, then to center, then to Power forward or SF is not a good thing.Train your guys to a real level does not require one season, but more.

Well I for one am planning to train a whole starting 5 in the next 10+ seasons, using 2 pos training.
I'm not focusing on primaries, but height will be a factor so after 10 seasons, my small player will be the better PG and my tall player will be the better C.
How does that sound?

Well, like i said before, i can't afford to buy better players right now because of bidding wars. And actually i was bidding on a much much better point gaurd than the one i bought today. He was a division IV point gaurd, some players i buy like scrubs, so i can use them in scrimmages so i won't give my current players that i'm training too many minutes.

I don't want game shape drops, other wises i'd have starters with 100 minutes. But maybe i did start a thread like this before i'm not sure, i only did team training two weeks with no success so, i'll never do that again. But right now i have to save some money so i can buy those better players, and so then i won't buy those scrubs.

It just happen that last friday i didn't get any pops, and i was wondering why, that's all. If i had more money right now, i would have been able to buy a much much better point gaurd, which is what i was bidding on, he would have been a good 6th man for my team, he scored 13 ppg, and i think 6 assists per game at least, and he had a lot of double digit assists per game at times. The guy i was trying to out bid other teams on.
