1 extra pop can make a huge difference. sit down with the salary calculator and calculate 15 IS, 15 ID, 15 RB and 15 or 17 SB for a big...

with the old system if you stop at 4 times 15, and train outside skills everything would be cool, now if you are unlucky you get maybe 2 SB pops extra. that makes a very big difference.

1 extra pop can make a huge difference. sit down with the salary calculator and calculate 15 IS, 15 ID, 15 RB and 15 or 17 SB for a big...

now use the formulas with 14,9 and 15,0, then you see the effect of an pop. To get an level you have probadly to train him around 140 weeks(i counted with 3 trained skills and 2 full weeks to imrpove), without him aging and counting the training where Blocking is already trained with(and this tempo get reduced, and porobadly it couldn't be choosed as secondary there).

So with this numbers, you get your 2 skill difference with 38, when you start training him with 18(with the training tempo of an 18 yo)

Just as Crazy said... You make the mistake of calculating full numbers, not sublevels. Those 10% are so small and you pretend like those 10% go to the same skill every week. I call bullshit!

you get standard SB pops too from training the other skills, or was this removed from the training?

there is no biggest portion of random pops because hey, they're random. You'll have just as much of an increase in all the other skills as you have in shot blocking.

Let's say this:
- you train a guy from 18 to 28 years
- i.e. he receives 11 seasons or 154 weeks of training (provided he's never injured or the minutes are messed up)
- you have 12 skills so the random 10% go to Shot Blocking every 11th time in those 154 weeks.

=> all in all you'll have 14 weeks in his training career where he receives the random 10% training in Shot Blocking.
=> that's about equal to 1.4 normal training weeks of shot blocking, which is equal to 1 pop if you're lucky (or unlucky the way you see it)

If you find any mistake in the above, let me know but that's how I see it.

Just to point this out. Your opinion (which is fine) is that SB is useless in general and that inside skills are useless for guards.
Many people (including me) don't think so but that's a different story.
