To get full training a player must play for 48 minutes in the position(s) that you are training. If he plays less than this he still gets training but it is not as effective. If he plays more than 48 minutes it is still exactly the same as if he played 48minutes.

The fastest way and most effective training is 1 position training. This is when you only train 1 position either PG, C or SG (Jump Range is the only option for SG thou) By doing this you can train 3 players a week by playing each of the for 48 minutes in each of your games. There are a few types of trainings that do not allow 1 position training (Jump Shot, One on One and so on) so for these you must use 2 position training, which is just about as effective as 1 position training (only for the ones without 1 position training)

Young players train faster than old players so the most effective way to train is to have 3 young players (18-20 year olds) who are either all PG's and SG's or PF's and C's and do 1 position training having 1 of them playing the full game at PG or C. Then if a player doesn't play the full 48mins (fouls out or gets injured) play him at SG or PF in the next game and do 2 position trainng for that week.

This ofcause is all just my opinion based on what I have read and what seems to work best from my experience (and from hearing about some results from friends trying different training tactics) but if I were you I'd look through some forums and read as much as you can.

So you recommend one posistion training? I was thik of training PG's and SG's. I have one 18yo bought already and have three more on the way. Does anyone else have an opinion on wether i should start off with one posistion or two posistion training? Thanks.

That is what I do and I have had very good results so far.

Training 2 positions is fine. It is slightly slower but in the end there is more profit to make. If you are going to train PG/SG I'd personally go with outside shooting for a few weeks and handling. OS trains jump range as primary and jump shot as secondary. Handling trains handling as primary and defense as secondary plus minimal driving. Give them some def and passing traing at end of season until they pop in that particular skill. Do this for about 5 seasons before selling and buying new trainees.

I did 2 position training for a season with average results. Sure you get a few guys poping each week but at the end of the season my trainees salaries had gone up by only 3-5k. Last season I had one of my trainees salaries go up by over 10k! from 5k - 16k. Much better results in my mind.

Thanks for this info. That's what i'll do. How do you what training trains what though? For example OS trains Jump range primary and jump shot secondary. Can you please tell me, give me a table or direct me to this information.

This thread is exactly what you need. The numbers are exactly accurate thou but pretty close.

I would start with 2 position training if you are able to afford to get 5 ok trainees its good. After a couple of seasons u can sell a couple of your trainees off and improve other areas of your team. In my opinion 1 position training is better if your trainees have high potential and u want to create a couple of stars for your team and possibly train for the NT. Until your established both financially and team wise i would stick to 2 position training.

Thanks. I'll stick with two posistion training, with guards. I've got some good trainees on the way. I'll need six right. One to play PG and one to play SG for each game in the week? Is it better to have 5 so you can play someone else if they don't get enough minutes.

Personally i prefer 5 as i like to get them more then 48 minutes for game shape purposes but u could do 6.

Ok. I think i'll stick with 5 for now. Thanks for all the help, from everyone who posted.
