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.

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.

No problem. I was just trying to figure out what you meant by introducing the triple-threat.

I don't know if i agree with 100% about the well-rounded/high skill thing. Maybe at the top levels of the game this is true. I'm not at that level so I don't know. But at lower levels, I have definitely experienced guys with all 7s and 8s outplaying guys with 3s and 4s and one or two 12s.

The fact is, though, that this change is not going to make it impossible to create players with extraordinarily high skills.

Indeed, that basketball player is sure intimidating with that "triple threat" stance.

1. I'm going to be trying to figure out if the player is male or female for the immediate future, forgetting to play D.
2. The bent knees and concerned look on the face looks like someone about to take a huge dump, preferably not on my kicks.
3. It appears as though I've been through a time warp and landed in the 80s, the land of short shorts and t-shirt colors that blend into the gym walls. Camouflage!
