Another week down, another week of no pops for Karl

My guy is at 3 full weeks of SB since last pop, plus another 20 min week. Fouled out early this week as well, unfortunately.

9GS is 9.00 I believe. No sublevels for 9.

I have a 22 yr old SG with Superstar potentail that buzzer manager says is at 64-70% potential limit. Does that mean he still has room to grow more skills or he is already at his limit? I've trained pressure (2 position) for 5 weeks and no pop =/

You should almost never train OD, JR, PA, ID, or SB in two position training for a guard. Always one-position train those skills.

So I had a one of my guys who has been in 9 GS the last two training updates increase 2k DMI. B-M has him at 91-100%. I hope that means that he is still getting training or should his DMI increased more? I'm think that since he is classified as a PG and I gave him ID training that that is the reason for only the small bump.

At least, for guys with high potential. It's perfectly fine to train, for example, five lowish potential (e.g., star) guards two position.

Train 6 players, determine the 2 (out of the 6) who will be the less valuable end product (when you plan to stop training them) due to current skill/potential and sacrifice a little of their minutes if one of the other 4 guys fouls out.

If you train 1v1 first, the elastic effect is enough to make even OD increase at a decent rate. I've done this in Utopia and I sold all the guys except for 2. The best guy I sold had almost 85 TSP and no skill above 11 (he had 11 HA) when I sold him (33808655). I bought him for 2k and sold him for 469k (but I think I was extremely lucky to get him for 2k and he was quite well rounded also looking at his inside skills)

Well, one out of 2 pops down!Got a JS pop this week, leaning towards running 2pos PA for a few weeks now.

Yeah I'd assume he got training and he's not completely capped. My main trainee (a MVP C) went from 1 776 900 to 1 780 800 with training in passing. Buzzer-manager has him at 94%-100%, Coach Parrot has him at 9.15 and my cap calculation sheet where I use the tables below (which I believe are the same buzzer manager uses) has him at 95.2%-102.5%. He's at risk of capping any time and he may already be.

The interesting question is what happens when you reach the value of the Potential sublevel. So in my case MVP=9.0-9.99, say the actual value is 9.30, do you still get a smaller amount of training after you reach 9.30 (until 9.99) or you just get no training whatsoever? I'm asking this because the increase in DMI this week was very little, therefore it seems possible that he is capped and now training at an even slower pace than he would normally.
