Players with only 1 of the necessary skills developped are virtually useless in this game. Unless of course you're content with massacring bots and inactive players.

My impression is that a truly effective player should have at least 3 of the core skills of his position developped (and the definition of 'core skills' can vary). Everything else is gravy.


I obviously share your point. These are "balanced" players.

i dont know how much of a debate you're going to get out of this. most smart trainers work with a skill rotation in mind. usually 3-4 skills (though i train C/PF so i'm pretty sure there are more for outside shooters.) training only one skill is completely useless and worse, counterproductive. sure you might have a legendary rebounder but he is only respectable in IS and ID, which is what a good rookie would have. not to mention with one legendary skill you can count on the player's salary to be $50k+ a week. more of a debate would occur in terms of what needs to be trained for each position. i know C/PF there is a debate on how effective shotblocking is. i'm of the belief that the skill is useless and work towards slowly making my big men into small forwards by replacing SB training with driving, jump shooting, and passing.

Thank you for your reply. I slightly disagree, but only in terms of how far the discussion/issue goes.

Yes, most smart trainers train 3-4 skills to e.g. a Center. But that is not what I call Multiskill. I would call it (like you do) "smart" or necessary. And I typify these players to be balanced. Not multiskilled. This is where I exactly find the discussion to be too limited.

And the debate about what skills are needed is in spite to a true Multiskill-debate already ongoing - and another issue in my view.

i see what you're saying. i went back over your original post and saw what you meant. so instead of the usual 3-4 skills there are additional skills that get attention by users. this is something that i've just started to do. for users who train front court players shotblocking is only so effective at the moment. so once you get to prominent or proficient it's not even worth it to train anymore. which opens the door for other skills to be trained. what i'm doing right now is sticking to IS, ID, and RB training every two weeks and in place of SB i'm working in JS and DV. i suppose the end result is to get the best possible SF, which is a critical position in BB.

Yes, that is now our common understanding. And I tend in a similar direction in terms of training...
