reading this, it seems a lot more difficult to train OD than training most other skills.
most of the time only 2-3 pops per week

edit: maybe it is defense in general?

I can't speak for inside D, but Pressure is probably my least favorite thing to train. I never get any secondary pops and it seems like over a 3 week cycle I only get one pop from each trainee.

It's more casual observation than proven fact, but I already dread when pressure comes up in my training rotation.

Agreed, Pressure is not the greatest thing to train. I did it this week, I think my first 2 weeks of it I had barely anything, they finally all popped at once it seems.

20 yo American PG to average OD
18 yo Kraut PG to average OD
19 yo Spanish PG to strong OD

It's the only way to raise your outside defense though, which has become more important of late.

thats the way i have to look at it.

since there is only 1 player on the transfer list at the moment with OD prominent or over, i'd say most people don't enjoy it.

I've been keeping my trainees' OD at par with their offensive skills, which I think is a competitive advantage in games, but will probably cost me when they need to be sold... like in HT, there's an asymmetry in how users as an aggregate value defense vs. offense. (In HT, there might have been a good reason...)
