I think the training aspect is challenging to a fault, and the SF GE aspect is a failure in representing the game of basketball.

Could be. Regardless, the process is the same for everyone. When you get accustomed to the idea that your SF is not going to have all the skills that he can potentially use, the current situation is much easier to swallow.

I personally think it's an asset of the game, not a liability: you have to make tough choices about the skills you want to forgo at the SF position. This can often be a tactical choice depending on how you're playing, or who you're playing.

I know where this debate is going to go, so lets not get into it.

My preference is to make changes that keep BB being and becoming closer to basketball in reality.

Your preference is to keep the game as it is because it's same for everyone and whatever it is, in some way, it makes the game more complex/interesting/challenging.

How about you just say "no thanks" to this idea, leave it at that.

I've also heard a BB say that it seems unbalanced that the SF position is the only position without a single position training slot available to it.

I am curious who said that -- mostly because it isn't true.

I was gonna say - am I missing a way to train my PF's seperately?

My bad, they said the first half and I added the (incorrect) second half. PFs also need a one position training, but most people don't complain because centers and PFs can mostly interchangeable.

Which is funny, because a C with 2 respectable skills in the right spots is as effective at PF as a SG with 2 respectable skills in the rights spots is at SF.

i agree with you.

if you want to train a SF in a single-position, you must put yout SF in another role.

sf in the GE - you can play a center at SF against an actual SF, with roughly comparable total skills, and be very successful. It's unrealistic.


I don't think that there are enough 'pure' SF's made already to see if a C would be successful against one of them.

From what I have seem in games an outside based SF will dominate an inside based SF in the outside game, and vice versa. The only thing I have found is that an inside based SF will dominate the boards, and rightly so.

Unless of course you are talking about a players 'position' as given from their overview page, which I think is very misleading with the player skillset that it gives to SF's

So with 100 points worth of skills (1=atroc, 10=prom etc) how would you design a perfect SF (excl.stamina/ft).....
