You can already single position train every other position in something (except PF, which are nicely bundled with center anyways).

Why should SF be excluded?

Using your own logic PF has no single position training why should SF have one?
PG and C have the most single position trainings and SG has ONE! I would like my PF to have JS training but I have to play him out of position for that also as I want them to shoot ok also. The training system at the moment favors edges as it seems and that's how it should be. Easy to train PG, C a little harder to train SG,PF and hard to train the overall guy SF.

Because, as I mentioned and you've ignored, PF training is nicely bundled with center training.

Jump Shot for forwards, you're not paying attention to all the training options out there.

In your humble, yet not completely informed, opinion right?

This proposal is about defense. SF's need both. But you can't bundle SF training with even two position training, only three position. Yep, you can't even do OD for wingmen, or ID for forwards. Defense is kinda important too, it shouldn't be that hard in the opinion of many of us here.

but when you was a PF/C trainer, you have to play your center out of position when you train JS ...

Even for many other kinds of training you need to do that.

Why would I train jump shot for my center?

Even if, equating jump shot for centers to od/id for small forwards is a poor comparison. They're not even close to each other in importance.

because the centers are your others young guys when you train PF and like to that on their normal born position.

Maybe my center is 30 years old and I don't want to train him? I want single position training for PF!

I ment JR here. I made a mistake as I have everything in my national language. Please do not suggest team training here as this is not an option if you even do not like 3 pos training.

I think it would take away SF spot uniqueness if you make him easy(er) to train. I don't want different height 5 SF-s playing the game. There will be lots of PF-s and SG-s playing out of position at SF spot even for the defence.

Sell your center and get a younger one, or play your center at PF, he'll do pretty well there. A SF that needs inside training wont do so well at c/pf, but a center at pf will.

In fact, I'd rather train a 30yo in his right position then train a 19yo out of position. I prefer the game to do its best to mimic reality. What do you prefer, fantasy-land?

Uniqueness? There's SF's that are guards and SF's that are big men, how unique is that? All that does is force people to play particular tactics.

You prefer a training system that chooses our tactics for us. I prefer one that gives us more options.

You prefer a training system that requires a team to play weaker lineups (in what real world scenario does that EVER happen?). I prefer one that allows players to grow in the position their meant to play in the long run. Look at Michael Jordan playing center so he can work on his post moves!

Center talk was hypothetical because I got 25 yo center. How can you say that play my center at pf and vice versa isn't that just what you are fighting against? Playing out of position? My SF plays as well at PF as he plays at SF. But like you said it I want all my players to play at their spot. If you want to play your SF at SF spot why are you suggesting me to play my PF at C? I think you have missed the point that this is a game and it is a fantasy-land so it can't be exactly as real life.

You prefer a training system that chooses our tactics for us. I prefer one that gives us more options.

If you change something change it for every position give every position single pos and skill training then it is fair and you got gazillion options to melt your brain with.

I can see that you are exited and running out of ideas:) Who in the real world need 48 min a week to make his training effective? Games give players experience to use their skills. Training in the real world is a "little" different. Is there really just let's train C spot this week... You amuse me:) Michael Jordan can prolly play any position in basketball.
