@ Lord of Doom: Thanks for making my point for me.
@ Superfly Guy:
understood..
but to be fair with to many of the training options training in some cases 3 secondaries as soon as you vary your routine it is going to be near on impossible to tell..
its not like hattrick where x weeks + age + trainer skill = pop in y weeks..
we are all getting pops that are built up of sub levels + fractions....i think if you look back over a season and say I bought player x and he had a total of 65 points (1=atroc - 8=strong etc) and after 4 stamina 3 FT and 7 skill training weeks he now has 75 points then you can gain an understanding as to what sort of player you can shape from lets say age 18-22 or 20-23 depending on your situation.
i think people are just pleased (i am) that pops on younger players are happening more frequently now... as to how and why I think there is a long way to go...
I see where you're coming from, yet the point of this thread entitled "Training Speed Analysis" is to analyze training speeds. The only way we can learn anything via this thread is by testing and posting our results. As you mentioned HT, the only way anyone knew how training worked over there was because people tested by training the same skill every week and shared their results with the community. Since there is still plenty of information regarding training in BB that is yet unknown, this is the perfect place for those of us curious enough to test it to post our results.
I've still yet to understand how BB defines "younger players", as my results training rebounding for 5 weeks (with a week of stamina during the week of the ASG) on players aged 19, 20, 23, and 24 have shown little (if any) signs of variance due to age. In fact, my 20yo popped a week before my 19yo, but all that suggests is a slightly higher sub-level after the previous pop. If my 24yo pops next week, it will suggest that training has yet to slow down by a notable amount at that age.
I didn't start this thread, so it's kinda up to WFU03 to decide what type of content he would rather see here. However, if I had my druthers, most of the posts here would be attempting to analyze training speeds for each training type, and including any secondaries a given training type also trains that may have been missed up to this point.
I understand people wanting to post their training pops somewhere, as that part of the game, for me, provides the most off-court excitement (I love seeing tiny green arrows). But perhaps that sort of thing could go elsewhere. In the BB-USA forum, JuicePats has blessed us with a training sticky thread in which to do so; perhaps there are other countries who need something like that as well (or even a thread in global). That would keep this thread more on-topic, and we could gather much more pertinent data.
