Training two positions can work quite well with lower potential players to help get a core of players to get you through the lower leagues and who can contribute in the middle tier leagues. You wouldn't want to do that with trainees with fairly high potential and you definitely don't want to spend a lot of money on trainees if you're going to "slowtrain" them. It's not a training strategy that's highly profitable and you're not going to be able to create top end talent that way, but it's a decent way to get a group of bigs (or guards) that you can use for a while and then transition into one position training and higher quality trainees.

I think I am going to work on one position training until they get a bit older. My main trainees (all drafted) are 18/19/20. My 18 yr old is a 6-11 superstar PG! He has 8 OD, and since OD trains the slowest, I think I will stick with that training until its up to 15. That will probably take them to the end of season 24.

However, since they are my draftees I don't want to cap them too early. That way when I get to higher divisions and need the salary efficiency, I can continue to train them. But since OD is such a pain to train I might as well get it out of the way before I get anymore good draftees.

Anyway thanks for the advice.

Could I have some thoughts and suggestions on my guy?

I'd personally finish the season with OD since it trains the slowest, then go passing next season

I would get OD to proficient, before doing PA until respectable (for SG build) or strong (for PG build). And hopefully, you'll be able to fix those secondaries.

I thought OD was only held back by HA. Also I think the negative elastic effect from HA doesn't out weigh the training speed drop that occurs when he turns 18->19 unless it's really extreme (which it isn't)
