If it's an unwanted skill, then it's an untrained skill. If it's an untrained skill then it's probably respectable or less. Worst case scenario: You're training a PG with all legendaries in JS, JR, OD, HN, DR, PA. Then a random inside skill pops - IS (negligible), ID (no change), REB (3% bump in an already 900k salary), SB (no change). (All numbers are estimate). I think a lot of people are overreacting.
1) So you're 60k 22 year old superstar is now 65k because of random pops. Small price to pay for making it harder to train 400k giants.
2) By slowing down primary skills training and redistributing it neglected skills, you're actually slowing salary increase.

So now the argument boils down to "well I want to do what I want, let me do whatever I want." This is like the regulation vs. deragulation debate in economics. I vote for more regulation by our benevolent BB overlords. They have more reason to keep this game in check because they have more to lose.

Any player that experiences a random pop from cross-training must have an extremely high sublevel to pop since the highest level one of the these random pops could be is somewhere around .07. (IS takes 1-2 weeks so it's about .7 or so for one full training at single position. 10% of that is.07.)

I'm not convinced cross training from FT and ST training is faster because FT and ST train faster. Not until I see some evidence.

So when they give off 10% its a full .1 or so which is why so many of these reported random pops are from FT/ST training.....

This is because most teams only played 2 games last week.

Don't worry man. These pops will be rare remember its a "random skill" at 10%. So it will not always be SB or RB, shoot it may never be SB or RB. I don't think that your trainees(which I assume are guards or SF) will get a lot of SB/RB pops if any at all.

Trained OD poped in passing from 8 to 9

FT pops every two weeks so it is .5 for everyone. 10% would be .05.
I don't know about stamina, but I guess it's about the same.

How do you know that a double pop is 1.2 levels? Has anyone ever double popped twice? If that was the case, would that .12 (if it is that) fall on the same randomly cross-trained skill every week? Does anybody have any concrete evidence whatsoever about how fast these training speeds are or what can or will be cross-trained? How do you know where your SB sublevel was?

It is still far too early to be making any sort of declarative statements?
