Hey,i just got a new draftee and im just wondering what do i have to train him in to increase his Driving and Handling? All his stats are "respectable" except for Drvivng which is atrocious and handling which is mediocre. He has hall of fall potential, also being a 6'0 SF but i play him at SG, so do i train SF's or SG's?

Well in the rules it states that Driving and handling are closely related and each results in about 80% training of the other. So I would train Driving which would in turn train handling. I would play him at SG.

Another thing to consider is if this player is 18 and canadian or german to sell them to BC Torooo who has stated his search for high potential young players, for around $ 1 500 000 !


edit: Please limit U21 elections discussion to the proper threads.

If you play him at SG thats what you train. One on One training trains primarily Driving, and handling around 80%. Sounds like you want to train One on One.

Honestly, i didn't say the complete picture. His Driving, Free throw and inside shot all are atrocious.

Really? could this player turn into someone who could lead my teaM? average thirty points?

i just inherited this acc from my brother and im kinda new to this, i think for the first week, ill play him 70 minutes, training free throw, then the next week, 70 mins of inside shots, and then the next couple weeks on one on one. Then after that ill buff the others, sound good? or is there something im missing

If you really want to make him a world top player. I would seriously think about 1position (when you can) training so he will get the maximum training. So for passing and outside defense you would have to play him at point guard. Jump range would be at SG, but to train JS you would require to train 2 positions. This isnt too much of a loss becuase all players in any team would benefit with a little more jump shot.

It may be a better option (than training 1 on 1 at 2 positions) to train handling at one position. This will actually equate to more actually driving training for your star player.

If you can follow this accuratly and make sure that he gets his 48 mins a week. Then he'll be a top player, possibly (and probably) one of the best PGs in the game in 4 seasons.

You could easily train another good trainee at this too and get the 48mins a week and have 2 top players.

Good luck!

Just curious wouldn't it be beneficial to train free throws right now since we won't get 48 minutes for full training this Friday? I say if you plan to start him train other skills during the season and use the off season for one on one training like free throws. Free throw shooting cost me several games in season 7 so I am thankful my 2 draft picks are both strong at free throws.

As appealing "world top player" sounds, i'm sure i can get the same results while training him at the 2.

alright i'm gonna start him on One on One for gaurds for the first two weeks, and hopefully that'll get him to respectable in driving. After that, all Outside training (Outside D, Outside shooting, Jump shot, etc)

thanks for all the help, i really appreciate it guys
