So I trained outside shooting this week and one of my trainees got an INSIDE DEFENSE pop?!?!?! I think I could somehow explain almost any skill getting trained from outside shooting EXCEPT for ID.(and maybe SB)

RB pop? Just means he misses all the time and has to rebound his misses. ST pop? Means he got his wind sprints in chasing the ball off his misses. PA pop? He was nice and got the rebound of his teammates missed shots and passed the ball to his fellow trainee. But Inside Defense? No idea how you would get any training in that while training outside shooting.

well, the bbs did say the new cross-training would train unrelated skills.

Good point. Just funny to think about how you would get training in it in real life out of that situation.

well, maybe the guy was shooting only 3-pointers in drills and scrimmages at practice, and someone who shoots a 3 pointer (especially near the top) should always immediately run back to defense. If this shooter missed the three, and ran back, he would find himself defending a fast break, which usually results in an inside shot attempt (layup/dunk), so he would get some practice defending inside shots.

thats the only way i can think of it.

I've always thought of it as:

1) In team practices there are full-team scrimmages, a holistic approach that allows players to practice every skill to a small extent, although improvements are unpredictable, just as in real life

2) Players improve mentally just by taking part in or observing an isolated drill, regardless of the skill being practiced

Interesting time for a tank job. Figured the road win for the attendance bank was more valuable? (And, btw, how stupid is it that the game engine is set up to encourage that?)

Yeah, it's odd that you have far better attendance by winning all road games and losing all home games than the other way around. They should be at least even, right?

Good game btw. I gambled and lost, sort of.

Kinda mad that it had to be a TV game, but yeah. And not to nitpick, but it's not really the game engine at fault, it's the fan survey, but whatever.

And my scrubs did a pretty good job for two quarters against the top Great 8 team if I do say so myself. And I just did. Out loud. To an empty room. (The dog is looking at me funny, you guys.)

I've long thought that the Fan Survey needs a rework. It can be way too harsh. Or at least add in another "special" game like the Rival and TV games to give you more opportunity to lessen the ridiculous penalty from losing the Away game.
