From my experience training more than 40+ min a week will still be good addition to his current skills.
I've always seen people saying that 45,46... min are not enough but as i've seen in the past any training will count for something.
An exemple from this season:
1 player that played from 35-42 min a week on the training position (he was the 3rd player on single position), aged 26 with MVP potential, the training was passing he got in 7 weeks of training 2 pops in passing 4 weeks between them and 1 pop in handling and 1 in driving.
So let's way we don't count driving and handling, but in passing 7 weeks of uncomplete training and 26 years for 2 pops seams reasonable.
Maybe if he could get 45-48 min he would of probably got a third pop but not certain because of his age, the pops where from respectable to strong to proficient.
So maybe you 95% of training but still good enough in my book.

As for 48+ means that he has anything more than 48:01 min played and 48 min means he has no more than 47:59 min played but i think this is common knowledge.

...As for 48+ means that he has anything more than 48:01 min played and 48 min means he has no more than 47:59 min played but i think this is common knowledge.

Just to be really precise, 48+ is actually 48:00 and above. That means one complete game of 48 minutes will get you 48+. The way you wrote it implies that you need one full game, plus a little time in a second game.

Still, your point about the lower than 48+ min and training is a good one, and I like the actual data you gave.

BTW
2 pops each for the 47 minute guys
SF popped in JS & DR
SG popped in IS & DR

was hoping for IS as well from SF - but it will come
thanks all for the advice

And you are a first class jerk, that's a fact. And I don't have to be very educated to know that.

I've been reading your rants and raves on here for some time now, and I think it's clear that you are a loose cannon who cannot control his anger. It's because of people like you that these boards are so dead. I'm sure BB appreciates you doing so much to help make their community grow.

I asked a question and clearly said "if this is not correct, let me know." I never spoke anything as a fact and always said I wasn't sure, but this is how I was understanding it.

The bottom line is, your post added nothing to the conversation, just took a cheap shot at my "USA education." Try adding something to the conversation instead of just looking for a fight. BB message boards are suffering enough without you running the few who do post here off.

One of my players has 48 minutes this week, not 48+.. Glad to find out that 48 is not the same as 24 minutes when it comes to training. I thought that everything between 24-48 is 50% and only 48+ is max :)

This is what I said 5 months ago

Science Dictionary

exponential (ěk'spə-něn'shəl) Pronunciation Key
Relating to a mathematical expression containing one or more exponents. ◇ Something is said to increase or decrease exponentially if its rate of change must be expressed using exponents. A graph of such a rate would appear not as a straight line, but as a curve that continually becomes steeper or shallower.

So I'm guessing that the loss of training minutes will multiply
with each missed minute.
Thus 47 not so bad
46 worse by a multiple and so on and so on...
So that 44 minutes is plenty worse than 47

Can someone please tell me I'm ok or way off base on this

Now at BB training site it appears to be so
47 minutes = 90%
43 minutes = 58%
36 minutes = 24%
24 minutes = almost nothing
