Thanks and good point. I'm just not sure if I want to "waste" a week of training on some young guns when I could train skill points. FT trains the same with any trainer and any age and I don't plan on having a team of old guys, so when would be best to train FT or even stamina? Even weeks like the All Star week I can still get my trainees valuable minutes.


If you don't want to waste time training FTs, you shouldn't waste time hoping that the FT fairy will arrive bearing FT pops. Personally, I think the solution would just be to scale FT percentage from maybe 10 instead of 0, so these anomalies will no longer occur without having to increase training speed for a skill that's already the fastest and easiest thing to train.

That's a suggestion I could live with. Make the floor of atrocious FT 10%, so we don't have these 0-954 FT over their career.

This seems like a good enough idea

Lets imagine what is a IV league of <any country> in real life. Does any professionals play there? I think not. Just some guys, who like to play ball. One of them is very funny. He has some skills and plays well, but everytime he goes to the free-throw line, he miss it on purpose. And counts proudly - zero from 952, zero from 953! Everybody laughs seeing another brick. All having fun. Guy proudly says "I have never ever made a free throw in a game"...

And here came you saying you cant miss next time, make at least 10% of it. How that guy should feel about this suggestion? :)

EDIT: The point of my post is following: You will never make a perfect game, as different people want different things. As long as it is not a bug (it is not a bug in this case), just use your imagination and situations like 0% from FT line will become possible. Btw, I am not saying, I am right here. Your suggestion makes sense. But I am the one, who believes that everything is fine here with free-throws. We have much bigger problems in this game.

Voila! FT was trained with JS.


JS training doesn't train FTs......you got lucky and got a FT pop from your cross training 10%.
I have gotten a SB pop while training passing....doesn't mean passing training trains SB....it means that the 10% allocated for cross training was enough to get my SB(your FT) up to the next level.
Be careful what you tell the newbies of the game. The next thing you know you will have a newbie crying in the bug forums about how they trained 12 weeks of JS and haven't gotten their FT pop yet.
To the newbies...
JS training doesn't train FTS

ft comes with stamina right.

I didnt vote. I don't see a valid point it to change it ,all it does it guards even more expensive.

Of course it's from cross training, and I was being a tongue-in-cheek.

But your final statement is wrong too.
"JS training doesn't train FTS"

It's simply factually incorrect, as it implies JS never trains FT. Not the case, it's just a low probability event. The new players will be flocking to the forums befuddled when get an FT pop when training. Whereupon another user can answer their question.

Come on ....are you serious. Cross training pops are luck of the draw. And in your silly analogy, every training that someone does trains everything either through the primary training or the secondary training or through cross training. If I were a newbie, I think I would rather have someone tell me that JS doesn't train FTs and when the time comes that I get a FT pop, have someone explain cross training to me. But I am sure that by the time a new manager gets a FT pop from any training that isn't FTs, they will have read the game manual and realized that 10% of any training goes to another skill.
I think this approach would be a lot less confusing to a new user.

So I will say it again...
NOTHING TRAINS FTs EXCEPT FT TRAINING
Disclaimer......unless you are really lucky and your player has a high sub-level in FTs, then just maybe you will get a pop from the 10% CROSS TRAINING feature!!
