he guys, as i am planing to rebuild my team i am thinking about my trainingplan for the next few seasons.

my goal is to train balanced sf´s. i am wondering if it is better to train one skill for a full season (e.g. outsidedef) and then get the other skills up (keyword here is elastic effect) or is it better to switch training everytime a certain skill has popped. (the starting skills of my trainees are or will be "balanced" from the beginning!)

i know that many people prefer outsidedef first because it is slowly trained. but i am wondering if it is not more effective to use a variety of training programms? (the faq says something like this)

would be nice to hear opinions from people who already have trained guards/sf players. for me it is something new because untill now i have just trained bigmen.

regards m0nkey! :)

ok thx a lot manson. i think i will do the same...a full season with just OD training gets boring really fast imho.
maybe somebody else has a different point of view? :)

I tried to train 1 on 1 first so HA and DR were two levels above OD. It worked really well for me.

i love OD training, and i have done it in the past for a full season. I must say it was quite rewarding, but it does work nicely in combination with 1v1.

Actually I think 1v1 training is the glue that holds together all three guard skills that are trained 1-position (JR, PA, OD - I don't count HA here). Train 1v1 for half a season and you get elastic effect for all other guard skills.

It depends...

If you're aiming tot train 3 SF's at one position al the time, than I would go for a balanced training regime. During normal weeks I'd go for 1 position training OD, ID, IS, PS etc. During the allstar week and PO weeks I'd go for training 1vs1, JS and stamina

But If you like to include players with a different endgoal (different endskills, so not 3 similar SF's) than it might be worthwhile to train outside or inside skills first.

Also if you have a goal set for your team in let's say to promote in a season or 3, it might be handy that you're SF's are a bit better at C than at PG or vice versa. So you won't lose a lot of strength in those games.

Balanced training trains quicker, but a accent on a player here or there might be handy.

very interesting, i am definitely thinking about this kind of training. at least in the first season.

"Also if you have a goal set for your team in let's say to promote in a season or 3, it might be handy that you're SF's are a bit better at C than at PG or vice versa. So you won't lose a lot of strength in those games. "

thats my plan. i will try to give my guys "guard" training for 2-3 seasons. after that i have hopefully promoted to division.III. in season 4 i will focus on inside skills. thats the plan...lets see if it is successfull! ;)


btw. thx a lot for all your opinions!
