You just need 48+ for training, it doesn't matter if you train 1, 2 or 3 positions. If you train C/PF you need 48 minutos in the 2 positions combined.

Ya I think this is how it works too, see maybe if theres someone who experience otherwise, if it is possible for 150%, that would definitely be good. :)

Training doesn't work that way as others have said.

Ya the 150% is kind of impossible, hope someone just appear and say 'I tried it, its really faster than one position', lol.

Someone could come and say it, but as Nice Guy Eddie so eloquently put it in Reservoir Dogs (with some censorship work here): "If you [***] beat this [person] long enough, he'll tell you he started the goddamn Chicago fire, now that don't necessarily make it [***] so!"

Anyway, here's how it goes:

One position training (C): Your guy plays 40 minutes at C, 20 minutes at PF. He gets 40 minutes worth of training.
Two position training (PF/C): Your guy plays 40 minutes at C, 20 minutes at PF. He gets 48+ minutes worth of training.

He has played a total of 60 minutes in both cases, so the effect on his game shape is the same.

Minutes are minutes, nothing more. As others have stated time after time, the needed minutes is 48+. This means that regardless of type of training, be it 1-position or 2-position training, the objective is to get the player to achieve 48+ minutes overall for the week in said position(s). For example, if doing 1-position training for your Bigs, the trainee needs to achieve 48 minutes at Center only. If doing 2-position training for your Bigs, then the trainee needs to achieve a combined 48+ minutes at Center and/or Power Forward. So despite your thinking, having the trainee play 48 at Center and 48 at Power Forward, only 48 minutes of those 96 that he's played will count towards his training. You are only doing 2 things when you have him play 48 at both positions. First, his gameshape next week will be horrible and, second, you're wasting valuable training minutes that could be used toward another player in his position.
