I actually think he's right. Training should be you dedicate a certain percentage of your coaching staff's time to certain players. There could be a multiplier for playing time, but the current system suggests young players will never get any better if they don't (a) get playing time in the right position and (b) get the attention from the "trainer." So practice time and experience of being in the league don't matter at all.

I realize this would change the game management system, but it would still be better.

Anyways, I just wish BB would call "trainers" assistant coaches instead. A "trainer" in basketball is about physical condition, not basketball skills.

How would you go about training then?

Rugbymania (www.rugbymania.net) has an excellent system, whereby there is team training and individual training. You choose a skill for the team to train and you can set a certain number of individuals in the team to have extra training. The individual training is a lot more effective than team training. You can train more younger players (17-20) than you can older players (21-29). Players 30+ don't get training, except for experience.

This makes sense. It doesn't make any sense whatsoever for a player who plays PG or C to not be able to go down to the court and shoot 500 shots and improve his outside shooting. It's simply ridiculous.

Yup, makes perfect sense.

It allows you to focus more on strategy of basketball management, not something that is completely unrelated to basketball or basketball tactics.

I love the bits of this game that are close to simulation but there are other bits I think are really disappointing.

There could be plenty of challenges, just not in playing him in certain positions. The system now says that in order for a guard to work on his rebounding, he has to play center. Then when his rebounding improves, he'll be a better rebounding guard.

Coaching could be vastly improved. Want a look inside team? Hire a coach who specializes in it for a performance boost. Would you hire a coach who emphasizes perimeter defense or three-point shots? How much would you pay for both? Want to improve your team's rebounding? Hire an assistant coach who trains players in rebounding.

Yeah, if I want to play awesome video games, there are loads out there better than this.

I play this because of its basketball management simulation concepts, of which there are some serious flaws.

I spend a lot of time observing strategies of my opponents, short and long term. That and figuring out the financial side would take enough time if more "simulation" elements were put in place.

Having to lose games because I need to play a player out of position just annoys me, as well as many others.

Managers should be rewarded for their knowledge of the game (basketball tactics, economic strategy and even developing relationships) and how they apply that knowledge, not for things that are unrelated.
