I think pops in HA and DR should be counted in half because they are trained roughly twice as quick as other skills. This is also how I count the skills of new draftees/young trainees in the market. With that in mind I get roughly 6-7 pops a season for 2 position training with lv 5 trainer.

My drafted 18yo so far has had 10pops - 1 x JS, JR, OD, IS, RB, SB, P, Stam & 2 x ID. Will almost definitely pop in IS and ID again this season. Not surprisingly I'm trying to make this bloke a SF.

Latest updates on my pitiful training...

Vallo Tammela 6'2" 20 year old allstar has lifted his game now with 6 pops OD, JS, Sta, JR, HA and DR.
Kent Masters 6'7" 19 year old perennial allstar 6 pops JS, JR, OD, Han, Dr and Sta. Nothing for the last 3 weeks lazy guy.
Oliver Ðuričko 6'3" 19 year old allstar and my focus so when he pops the training rotates 8 pops JS, JR, 2x OD, Han, Sta, JR and DR.

Mo nothing the last two weeks but had to play a lot of SF because we have had some big games so training minutes were low.

Two weeks of training to go and one will probably be free throws so not much chance now of making 10 pops.

How does being supporter allow you to see your training pops for the season? I just upgraded to supporter and would find this to be a valuable addition.

Thanks!

just click on the player on the roster page, it will take you to the players page and show pops in a graph.

I had a player who had 13 pops in one season, but I had luck that he had a triple pop at the beginning and a few doubles (one on one training is really fast for some players).

I think any result around 10 pops/season is really good...

I have had 7 so far with my best player but he was injured for the first two weeks and trains at one on one this week so hoping for at least one more pop this week.

trying to keep this a living thread so would love to hear from anyone else about their training

I've had close to 45 pops over 12 players (majority of the pops were over 6 players though) this season.

I trained an 18 yo rookie and he has had 10 pops so far (hopefully 11 next week!)

I had..... quite a few- I'll try to break down what I remember.'

Player 1- Jump Range (to 7), Jump Shot (to 7), Passing (to 8), Outside Defense (to 7) (I play him at PG, though he's suggested as SG)
Player 2- Jump Shot (to 7), Inside Shot (to 7), Driving (to 7) (I play him at SF, although he is suggested at PF.)
Player 3- Inside Shot (to 4), Rebounding (to 7) (I play him at C, although he's suggested at PF)
Player 4- Jump Shot (to 5), Jump Range (to 7), Handling (to 7) (I play him at SG, and he's suggested at SG)
Player 5- Jump Shot (to 8), Outside Def (to 6) (I play him at SG, although he's suggested at SF)
Player 6- Inside Shot (to 6), Jump Range (to 7), Shot Blocking (to 7) (I play him at PF, and he's suggested at PF- I may switch to C though.)

Player 8- Passing (to 7) (I play him at SF, and he's suggested at SF)
