I'm looking for some advice about improving the defence of my team, both inside and outside. It seems to me that the weaknesses I have are not so much in the appropriate defence for my guys (guards all have OD of average or above, inside players have ID of respectable, except for 1 guy who has average) but rather in the 'wrong' defence - my guards are useless at ID and my inside players can't defend outside the lane. My in-game ratings for both ID and OD are much worse than the ratings for the individual players who play there, even on Man to Man, so there must be something dragging down my in-game ratings. All I can think is that the other team members are contributing a poor performance to that area of the floor.

You can't train ID or OD as a whole team activity, so I don't understand how, or even if I should bother, to train my big men on OD or my guards on ID. Does it help? How do you do it?

It surely does help but as you say, training OD for centers and ID for guards is probably the hardest possible thing to do.

I guess if you really want to train them, try to play a guard and a center if you are training ID two positionally.

But I always tried to avoid this problem by buying players who have both defenses good. Can't see any other reasonable way of avoiding this 'C's have no OD' problem.

if you try to raise your rating, improve the ID of your Centers and the OD of your Guards, that have more effect on the ratings ... And don't expect, to have 6 on od when you plaing with 6er Guards, they need skills around 10 to rech this level.

Even an additional level in this skill will help you more inn game, then training their B-Skills.
