Hello,

Just recently joined this extremely interesting virtual world and more than eager to dig in this game. Browsing my roster and evaluating the team's strenght and weaknesses, targetting the optimal training programme... so it came up my mind as follow...

Every player has pointed to have certain role and position in given roster. Is it possible change the player's etc. Power forward role for Short Forward while the player's skills is reflecting his re-positioning ?

Does the role change (also in player's icon) if you let him play as Short Forward, despite his current PF status ?

If you start with Stamina Team training, how long does it take to get one level upgration if player will play required minutes weekly basis ?

Thank's for your guidance !

Best Position is based on his overall skill set, but you don't have to play a player at that position specifically.

It's meant as a guideline.

Team training (Stamina, Form, and Free Throws) doesn't depend on playing in games. Stamina training is very fast, most players increase a level per week.

Training of skills is based on where a player actually plays in games, not on his nominal position. His play at the position depends on his actual skills, and not his nominal position.

I suspect that the generation of player works like this: Roll a die to determine the player's position. Roll a die to determine his height, which is a function of the position. So for example, centers might average 6'10 or 6'11, but there is a possibility that they are 6'4 or 7'4. And similarly for other skills. So a player who was designated a center, might be unlucky and not have much of the skills needed to be a center, but might have some skills that let him play at forward or even guard.

With only 5 players, and a relatively small court, basketball player roles are somewhat fluid. So even if you position a player at center, he may take a few 3-point shots.

If you play a player at SF for around 48 minutes, but his position is listed a PG, and you train your SF/PF/C and center that week, will he have the possibility to pop because he played at SF, or is he excluded because he is listed as a PG?

He will be a SF for game and training purposes.

The only place where he will be a "PG" is on the roster when you sort by position, or on the transfer list search.

are you postivie about this?? I just want to make sure, because this will geatly influence how i buy players, i thought they would have to train as a PG, and thanks for all your help and a fast response.

this is correct
