How do you train? Do you (for example) do jump shot for one week and handling the next? Or do you do the same training for multiple weeks. I wanna change my 18 year old superstar PG, but I don't know where to start or how long to train him for one stat.

Here are his stats:

You can train whatever you like, in whatever order you like.

I would start out by training his OD (Pressure training) until he hits strong or proficient. This way, he won't get burned by the other guards in your league. Next, I would train Passing for a week or two before moving onto Jump Shot for Guards, as he needs lot of improvement in his jump shot. After he pops 2-3 times, I would train One on One for Guards (trains Handling and Driving).

How you train your player also depends on what you want him to be. Do you want a PG, SG or a combo guard? Along with that, do you want a pass first player or a scorer? Or do you want him to be a defensive specialist?

First: Just so you know I have an advanced trainer
Second: More scoring, but I want him to be a combo guard with a good jumper. I need him to carry my team.
And when you say "for a week or two" do you mean in a row? or separately.
And last question. For him to get a lot of training minutes to I have to start him or keep him as backup.
Thanks!

First and foremost he needs to get 48 minutes on the position you train that week. If you train pressure, he needs to make 48 minutes on PG. How you achieve that depends on your team and goals. Most people try to set the player as starter, backup and reserve while having no other active players besides 4 other starters and at most 4 backups. This way the trainee usually makes 48 minutes in 1 game.

You can train the same skill multiple times in a row or alternate between different skills, it's up to you. There's some influence of the elastic effect, so I wouldn't endlessly train 1 skill, but otherwise it doesn't make any significant difference if you train X for 3 weeks and then Y for 3 weeks or wether you alternate each weeks. I usually let it depend on my league schedule on where I need to play my trainee (for example if I train a SG with low passing and a tough schedule, I rather train Jump Range that week so he can play SG and I play my veteran PG on PG to lead the offense).
