Hopefully it will only make 19 year old player valuable for U21-training without devaluing all others.

Well, lets imagine we're a 6th seed team. It means, there's at least 4 teams drafting ahead of us. What are the odds of winning a good draft? Probably low, therefore we find a reason not to like the game as much.

Even if we're are the 1st seed team, we still have a huuuuge chance not to get anything worth while. So once again - a reason for a player to get over BB. Not to mention the fact, that you have to tank the whole season for it w/o any competition while having your games boicotted by fans .

And when we add to the situation, that we wait 3 months to only have a chance at a decent trainee....

In terms of devaluing young players - I agree to some extent. It has been one of the few fast-ish ways to get some extra money, and that way will probably lose some of it's value. But looking on the other end of this argument - why the hell did we have such high prices of young players? Because there was no one to choose from, so those 5 56+SS pot7's/pot8's cost a fortune, leaving other players with mediocore (therefore easily expendable) players or nothing at all. Which again, leads to the abyssmal emptiness of the player market.

And don't even get me started on all of the "pot7, pot8, even pot9 players are not good enough" people, that don't even have the patience to cap them.

So all in all, I find the increase of availability for training a massive improvement to the game.

I think 45 minutes is a trial test linked to stamina but the problem of teams with 5 excellent players and no substitute is not solved at all yet.
Again hope the effectivness of the players per minutes played will follow the age of the players, no problem till 25 years then if you wanna play 48 minutes with a 30yo player you must be penalized more than what we see right now.

And as announced previously we have been testing an update to Free Throws which will be implemented next season. This will make free throw percentages more realistic and also having Jump Shot and Jump Range become a small part of the equation.

I don't really know what to think of this: Is this more like a penalty on high level FT shooters with bad JS/JR (hence forcing us to train JS/JR) or a boost for players with good JS/JR with no free throws (so we don't have to train free throws)?

Would that also make the training court irrelevant as long as your player has very high JS/JR? Is BB regretting the decision of making training courts (hence those who invest in it will have freakishly high FTs) and trying to undo the mistake?

That said, in terms of realism, I'm not too sure. We got DeMar and LaMarcus Aldridge who can't shoot 3s but hit FTs at an 80% clip, and then there's Bruce Bowen who's pretty decent from 3 but just barely hits more than half his free throws.

It's aimed towards FT training court being too op. It's basically to battle teams hitting 99% of their free throws even when there's 40+FTA.

And it's been rather effective: My PF has 21FT lvl and 12JS.

His regular season FT - 59/60 (98.33%)
His PL FT - 28/36(77.77%)

And I dare say, that such a change is a lot more fair and fun. Since having a lvl3 training court can make your whole team almost never miss a free throw in somewhat 4-5 seasons.

Thanks for the example, now I think the change isn't too bad. I guess it's justified since high 70s isn't too bad a percentage for someone with a mid level jumper (since 12 is around the middle of 20).
