I'm the wikipedia of BB
or
:(
It depends :p

It is a fact stated by the BBs and measured coprehensively and extensively by many users that the game engine did not favor inside over outside tactics.
Training patterns though undeniably created an uneven ratio of inside to outside and/or all around type of players and their respective transfer market prices.
GDP and repeated tweaks with JR and BS started to change that too.
Alongside with the introduction of Utopia, where many users opted for skill training and experimenting, i am quite surprised that we're still talking about LI dominance of sorts and training speed with regards to countering LI.

I've been training almost all my seasons in the game(plus all the seasons in Utopia).
This season is the first ever i gave JR training.
I was SHOCKED to see my 24y old, 6'7" trainee, getting THREE pop ups in FOUR JR sessions, with two OD sessions in between.
That is a confirmed >0,50 in JR, per session, at 24y and at SF height!!!!!

There's your (outrageous) training speed(that i saw no forum headlines for). I think we should stop complaining and wanting even more.

I think if we have this for the defense of a team, this will make the requirements of their offense pretty minimal, unless the opponent sports similar defense

PG/SG OD 20 ID 12+ SB 15+
SF OD 18+ ID 13 SB 16+
PF/C OD 16+ ID 14+ SB 18+

This is essentially what im working towards on my current roster, Im glad to see im not the only person who correlates SB with OD not just ID

ive been gathering good data on the effects of SB for the last 6 or 7 seasons. My current goal for my starting 5 is something like 14/16/16+/18/18
RB I see good results with fairly low RB with the added SB, 14 is the highest I would take REB in any situation TBH, My current SB big that is on the market rebounds at roughly the same rate or better as a a player with 3 more REB on my team.
I think you easily make the difference up with with a spread like this 8/8/12/12/14.
ID wise im looking for something like 8/8/12/14/14.

My current trainee Carl Baxter started his OD training with 13ID 12 SB and 3 OD, he had no trouble shutting down 50k+ USA d.3 PG's but the jump from 3 to 9 OD has hardly been noticeable on the stat sheet so far.
I think you can have IS/ID and SB on a guard to a certain extent, Him falling into a guard formula rests solely in his JR.
I forget off the top of my head but my Guard trainees will be roughly 16/10/8/14 in big skills while still maintaining PG position for salary.

I honestly would like to build 3 guys who are 12/10/20/10/10/14/12/20/10/20 just to see who can score on them, i wonder if any guys like it have existed before?

Another lie the general public of BB tells people is SB has no elastics, SB training is prob more elastic y then 1v1f.
Training SB will train your IS your REB and your ID as well as your SB. If you alternate SB/ID training you will likely pop one or both every week at young ages. Pretty nice elastic there for not having any elastic effects.

Another lie the general public of BB tells people is SB has no elastics, SB training is prob more elastic y then 1v1f.

It has elastics with ID and RB and both these skills cannot be trained passively during outside training as IS. ID does get a bump from OD training but it's so much smaller than what IS gets from 1v1 that it's pointless to even mention it.

If you alternate SB/ID training you will likely pop one or both every week at young ages. Pretty nice elastic there for not having any elastic effects.

That has nothing to do with elastics, SB is a very fast training regime. Much faster than any other inside skill and I believe ID grows from SB secondary training more than it does from IS secondary training.

Its not that I dont think RB doesnt work, I find the added effect above 14 or so to be negligent and would rather put the extra skills somewhere else. I do find it important to win the rebounding battle and rarely will I be out rebounded.
Id rather save the $$ that higher levels of RB cost and put those SP into SB or a scoring skill, IMO anything more then 14 rebounding is just inflation for minimal kick-back skill wise

My kid is averaging 20+ RPG in D1 and has got a good world ranking on both OREB and DREB. And that is the reason my starting lineup holds on against other teams and my backups get run out of the gym.

Check that: #1 in rebounds/game league-wise = #4 country-wise
#4 in blocks/game = #46 country-wise

He has very, very high SB, higher than his RB, yet there are another 42 players ahead of him in England in blocks/game in lower (and presumably bot) leagues...going with your reasoning it looks like maybe you don't need very high SB to get very good blocks/game numbers. In fact, if you go in his career stats you will see he had 3.8 blocks/game when he was 18yo (in D3) and he never got close to those numbers again (of course he played a lot out of position, but still)...
