I would personally go for OD then passing/JR/JS (for forwards) so I can focus on inside skills later on in their career. IMO it's more economical, because you'd rather have a 30k salary guard to play reverse patient rather than a 30k C playing point, unless you're tanking. Plus PFs would usually be on the taller side, so training skills like OD and JR when they're young would technically help with their training speed.

You can try coach Parrot for a more individualized training plan to maximize your player's training, but the above seems to be quite common among people who train for the NT based on my observations (I believe that's why I've been having a post player drought for some time at U21 level - most of the MVP and above players get trained to be like guards while those superstar and below are rarely trained). I can't complain because honestly that's how I would train a high potential post player as well xD

What would be the best training program for a 19 year old, MVP potential, Power Forward?

You don't even have a 19 yr old MVP on your roster.
But if you did....

You need him to be able to start playing as soon as possible. Trying to get a perfect 48 is getting harder.

In a walkover game 50-0 do my trainees get 48 if I put them @ starter backup and reserve??

I think so, yes

Thanks alot I found 2 matches with the winning team getting 48 but I would love to have an official confirmation!

You might have a look at the rules 😉

hello, can i ask you, how much minutes per week are too much for form of the player please?

I think it's over 76 minutes. Everything below that is fine.

How important is it to have a PG with exceptionally high passing? I demoted to league 3 last season, so due to too much salary I've had to get rid of some players. I've picked up some new ones,but I'm still lacking in a PG. I have plenty of cash, but due to salary considerations I can't afford to go buy a really expensive one. I'm looking at the transfer wire, hoping to pick up a decent PG with a salary no more then 50 or 60 thousand. The problem is finding one with good enough Passing and still decent OD and Jump Shot. Most of the ones I've seen have Passing around Prominent to Sensational. For my team's offensive flow is it really important to have a PG with higher Passing then that? Looking for opinions. Thanks!

Hi everyone, I have a question about playing injured players during a walkover game. Specifically, if my opponent gives a walkover and doesn't show up for the game, is it okay for me to play injured players who wouldn't normally be able to compete?

I know that the minutes in a walkover game are typically allocated in a fixed manner, and I'm wondering if injured players could potentially still receive playing time if they're included in the lineup. However, I'm not sure if this is allowed by the rules.

If anyone has any insights or experience with this, I would really appreciate your input.

Thank you in advance for your help!

Personal opinion, there are a few factors:

1. What kind of offense do you plan to use as your main strategy? A lineup based around LP/LI would be more reliant on passing, or on DR/IS, than would a RnG/Motion offense. If you plan to mix it up as in recent games, a good level would be a must.

2. What level of play are you hoping for? If this is a guy you want to take to NBBA, even 12/Sen isn’t going to be particularly useful. If he’s to be a force for D.III / rotation option for D.II, you could get away with 11/Prolific, but obviously higher is better.

3. Less obvious but still essentially necessary to address, are the other skills he has. 12/Sen passing is cool, but 12/Sen is a waste if you’re on low handling (still too many TOs). Plus, if his JS/JR are top tier, or Handling/Driving/IS are top tier, you could get away with a bit lower in passing a bit more easily with the caveat of this player being more central to your offensive production.

In terms of how it specifically would affect the "Offensive Flow" stat, I cannot exactly say. too much goes into that rating to be efficient with an answer here. however, I will say that analyzing my last two Saturday games, higher passing did affect that score quite a bit (while I still lost both matches).
