Easy. 3 laps around the court for each miss.

This stupid cross-training is utterly ridiculous. I'm really getting sick of the BBs constantly telling us how to play the game. I've been on this game since season 6 and it seemed each major update consisted nothing of the BBs shoving a new game style down our throats.

Just because BB-Charles likes balanced players, EVERYONE has to have balanced players. When the elastic effect was fully known, fine, everyone stopped the mono-skilled players and used it to an advantage to create well rounded players in guard skills, or well rounded players in big man skills...but NO! That's not good enough. Everyone has to be completely well rounded.


In season 20 our news is going to be that we can't train any skill 2 points higher than another, so everyone is just going to be proficient in everything.


Agree one hundred per cent.

What I absolutely hate of this way of proceeding is that strategies are no longer possible in long term prediction. Since the beginning of BB history there were people who believed that Big Men were the solution, then came Run 'n Gun era, then SF and PG which boosted market prices a lot.. so, what I mean, everyone had the possibility to choose what he thought was the best.

I spent all the last 3 season to create PG and SG with at least strong in IS, PF and C with at least strong in JS, as well rounded as I can, because I thought that this was the right strategy: maybe I was wrong, maybe I was right, it was my strategy. Other users choosed the opposite, to have solid primary skills sacrificing the rest: maybe they were right, maybe not. Different strategies, different results, different way of thinking, different way to appreciate this game.

And now? All of us MUST have well rounded players. I can accept every kind of change to the game engine, that's the way to SUGGEST people what to do with their own strategies. I mean, suggest, not force . That could also have been better if I'd have the right to select what secondary skill I would love to train every week: this week I'll train JS, I'd love to spend my 10% in only one skill related or not to the basic one (I think I'd choose OD or ID) or to divide equally my 10% in something like OD, ID and PAS. (this is just an example)

What I mean is not that having well rounded players is useless, but that I want the right to decide to have a well rounded player, to train REB or BS for my PG and JR or HN for my C. And if I will be as good as my team require, then I will win my championship or - in my case - I will reduce my gap to the strongest teams in Italy.

What makes a game wonderful, what - to me - made this game amazing in the past was that it was that I really live it: my thoughts, my way of training players, my strategy on court and during the week, my (not so clever) economy and so on. My 2 cents, I'm on holiday, have a nice BB

I think you are overestimating the amount of influence cross-training will have on a player's skills. It has been suggested through math that the increase in cross-trained skills will be small- between .03 and .07. If you train an 18 year old center for six years , 2 years each in IS, ID, and REB, you will still have a triple prodigious C, with crap skills everywhere else.

Once I scored a basket that still makes me laugh.

That was not my point. I know that 10% is a really small influence: what I'm discussing is the reason behind this change.

Because nothing revolutionary or news worthy to add this season... BB's must be laughing because just adding a non-sensical subtle change has created a huge over-reaction which has led to many people thinking this IS a big change that has taken a long time to implement.

Basically it's bought another season to actually come up with a change that can really advance the game (or maybe they have bought another season to perfect the ultimate Kit Creator!)

I got that. What I was trying to point out was exactly what M-Chihorn stated so concisely.

revolutionary feature like triple-threat


What do you mean?

I have been laughing at the introduction earlier in this thread of the dreaded "triple-threat." Someone accused me of knowing nothing about hoop after posting that only elite players use the triple threat. Triple threat in basketball is the name for how you hold the ball, nothing more. It is taught to everybody at a very early age. What it means is that you hold the balls slightly to one side with your knees bent so that you can easily pass, shoot, or dribble. three possible actions- triple threat.

(http://www.coachesclipboard.net/OutsideMoves.html) Notice the picture of the elite player employing the triple threat...
