Hi guys,

Since i last posted a thread, i have improved my team's gameshapes, and got 3 subs for my team.

But it seems that i am still not as good as Cosmik in my League. And i have been using Looking Inside for my strategy, because my team sucks at shooting 3s. Is there any other strategies that suits my team better?

And is there any other ways of me improving before the playoffs? I really want to advance this season

Thank you guys.

who should i train? right now i am just training Kolb

Single-position train Kolb and cap Veladez at PG positon training. They have to get 48+ mins. (Kolb 48 1st game on Saturday, Valadez at PG in the Scrimmage,and Mahon may get lucky to get pops) Here is what I mean: 1st game leave Valadez and Mahon OUT of the 1st game and let Kolb get 48 mins. 2nd game START Mahon and leave Kolb and Valadez out of PG. SCRIMMAGE: Leave Kolb and Mahon OUT of PG position and START Valadez.

I want to see: Kolb's stats
I want to See:Mahon's stats
I want to see: Valadez's stats

Just copy and paste them Here and We can see if they are capped. I could suggest stats to train,what to do next,and ultimately make Valadez a SF, or even a all around player.

Here are their stats.

Kolb
Jump Shot: respectable
Jump Range: strong
Outside Def.: respectable
Handling: strong
Driving: average
Passing: prominent
Inside Shot: mediocre
Inside Def.: pitiful
Rebounding: awful
Shot Blocking: awful
Stamina: average
Free Throw: pitiful




Mahon
Jump Shot: respectable
Jump Range: strong
Outside Def.: strong
Handling: strong
Driving: strong
Passing: average
Inside Shot: mediocre
Inside Def.: awful
Rebounding: pitiful
Shot Blocking: pitiful
Stamina: inept
Free Throw: inept↑


Valadez
Jump Shot: respectable
Jump Range: average
Outside Def.: awful
Handling: inept
Driving: average
Passing: pitiful
Inside Shot: prolific
Inside Def.: respectable
Rebounding: sensational
Shot Blocking: mediocre
Stamina: pitiful

I am a newbie, please explain in detail how to train them and use them. Thank you very much

I think you should switch between Handling an Passing for the rest of this season and 2 weeks of next season. You will create better shots,turn the ball over less,and score more. After that,cap Valadez and Mahon with 1 vs 1 gaurds,and then train Kolb to something like this:

Kolb:

JS:13
JR ( DO NOT TRAIN, will train with JS):9+
OD:14+
DR:12+
PA:14+
HA:10+

Those should cap him. He only has Pern All-star potential. Those will make a killer guard.

Here is what Mahon should look like (Be sure to Make all players play 1 full game *48+ MINS*)

12 JS
8+ JR
13+ OD
7+ HA,PA,DR

Valadez (Pure SF,and maybe Pure PF is you can train a bit more and he isn't capped,we'll see)

JS 10
JR:7+
OD:9+
HA:7+
DR:8+
PA:9+

Those should make him an all-around Gaurd/Forward player. A lebron type player. Just make sure NOT to train FT's/Stamina/Game shape until the last week. ALSO: 48+ mins at PG for the rest of the season for them. Valadez is in the scrimmage due to low Gaurd skills. DO NOT let them play SG/SF/PF. That could work though,but only for 24 mins,until GS starts lowering.

So first, train Kolb for passing and handling, for how many weeks?

Then Mahon and Valadez with one on one guards, for how many weeks?

And, from now on, All three players should play at least 48 minutes as a guard every week from now on?

So we are trying to get Valadez to a SF? But right now he plays PF for me, should i just buy another PF then?

And also, how many weeks do you say that its gonna take me to train all 3 players like what you are saying?

Just train all of them at PG (48 mins+, + as is a whole game) for HAndling,until all 7+
and then Passing, until 7-10
and then all 1 vs 1 gaurds to cap all of them exept the frist trainee.

The first trainee should be trained for 4 seasons,due to the other two aging and almost capped.

is it really necessary to train Mahon? He doesnt seem to be that good, and if i only train Valadez and Kolb, it'd be so much easier

Hi,
you can train these guys, but be aware it's just a training exercise. They're behind in their advancement for their age. You could pursue with Kolb, and get two other proper trainees after the draft.
If you play LI, you don't NEVER EVER EVER EVER need to train HA, because you'll train lots of DR and get 66% of those pops for HA as well.
OD is the most effective skill, and training it you'll get secondary HA pops. You train PA, you get secondary HA pops. Just training OD, PA and DR you can get to max. economically viable HA at 14.
In four seasons with noob pace, you easily arrive at:
Kolb
Jump Shot: strong, +1
Jump Range: strong
Outside Def.: marvelous, +8
Handling: wondrous, +6
Driving: wondrous, +8
Passing: wondrous, +4
Inside Shot: average, +1
Inside Def.: mediocre, +3
Rebounding: awful
Shot Blocking: awful
Stamina: average
Free Throw: pitiful
