I am training him to be a SG. can somebody like give me a schedule or some goals i should shoot for with him. and also does he have a chance of making the U21 or NT. Thanks.
PS-- i love to hear peoples opinions

train him for about 3 weeks on passing then train his JS until it is at 15 then train some OD

Your kid got nice ID. What about train his secondary of IS to about 7 too. train the ID to 9. After that, go to passing and get that to 8. then do some OD till it's 13. JS till it's 13. Driving till 12. JR, get that to 9. After that, do some more OD/JS and get em to 15 each. Let me do some simulations on buzzer manager.......

PS This is more of a help forum question.


To Be Edited.


He can be great! Did some simulations and after like, 50-60 weeks of training, he could end up like this:

JS: 16-prodigious
JR: 10-prominent
OD: 16-prodigious
HA: 13-tremendous
DR: 15-marvelous
PA: 9-proficient
IS: 8-strong
ID: 10-prominent
REB: 7-respectable
SB: 7-respectable
STA: 8-strong
FT: 11-prolific

This is with 90%-98% of training. Well balanced guy with these potential salaries

SG=$65,188
SF=$66,082

This is from buzzer manager. So give or take a little but he's great well-rounded. Now I finally know why Guards and SFs are cheap, and Bigs have greater salaries........

Ya, tough is right... Do a lot of outside shooting to improve JS and JR and pressure to get his OD up, will also work on ID... Dont forget to train the secondaries, but get those primaries to high values...

So far ur doing a good job, U21 and NT are possible, but unlikely because of "low" potential...

ya If I train Delong right, he could be in the mix, but because of his "low" potential, he'll never be in a NT Team, Prather can....he's a HoF. What are his skills so I can calculate his salary right now? (Prather)

What level trainer do you have?

Assuming you have at least a level 4 trainer (advanced), I would spend the rest of the season on PA. It should finish at about 7 maybe 8. That leaves you with a 20 year old, 6'4 superstar player you want to make a SG that looks like:


9/6/9/7/8/7 - 1/7/5/5 - 7/7

14 weeks of training a season.

4 weeks of 1on1. 6 on JS and 4 on OD. He could look something like:

12/6/10/9/10/7 - 1/7/5/5 - 7/7

So now he is 21. Training him to tremendous OD will probably take 7 weeks of OD. Then you can train JS for another 4 weeks followed by 3 of PA.

14/7/13/11/10/9 - 1/7/5/5 - 7/7

Then you can train JR, OD and JR have an elastic effect so he should pop quicker than normally. I would train JR for probably 11 or 12 weeks which would get it to 11. Then the last 2 or 3 weeks on OD.

14/11/14/11/10/9 - 1/8/5/5 - 7/7

From here it is up to you. He would be 23 and slowing down in training. I would probably go about 5 weeks of JS followed by 9 in JR. By the time he turns 24 he should look something like:

16/14/14/11/10/9 - 1/8/5/5 - 7/7

He would be nearing his cap. A good player for sure.

I am writing this whilst getting ready for a birthday dinner so... I could be way off in some of the estimations(i have never been so great at those anyways), but I dont think im that far off.

Training IS would be a waste of time at his age and level of IS.

Man, IDK why I never get these:

#/#/#

To me it's all jumbled up and I can't read it well, but I was able to read it this time. How come he's lower that what I estimated? He could get to my estimates due to a elastic effect. arggh, sometimes I never get the training part of this game.......

Well I stopped at 24, probably could have kept going.

THANKS MAN.... I WILL DEFINITELY BE USING THAT AND EVERYBODY ELSES!!!!!!

I would just add that you shouldn't totally ignore stamina. He's got respectable stamina right now so it's fine if he drops 1-2 levels in stamina over the next 4 years but you don't want him to drop more than that. So, I'd advise you to train stamina at least twice over the next 3-4 seasons and after that train it once every year so he'll maintain mediocre or average stamina.

Just make sure you don't train stamina/FTs until he is 22 or older. You don't want to waste a precious training week when he is young.
