Yeah both very good trainees, especially the one with 12 pops! That is insane for inside skills.

I agree, I wish the feature went back forever.

wow, those guys are really moving up the pop charts!

(off topic: these boards are filled with people who can speak / write two and who knows how many more languages and all i can do is make cheap puns in only one. i was drafted with "atrocious" language skills and have never popped once. no value at all on the transfer list -- will soon be fired.)

That's because english is the global language. Most people (from other countries where english isn't/wasn't the first language) will know their national languages and will have learnt english most likely as it is the most useful language to know. However, people that already know how to speak english (eg. UK, America, Australia etc) are less likely to know another language.

i speak fluent japanese and greek.

although your statement is correct, personally i think it should be compulsory for everyone to learn a second language throught high school, but thats just me.

How many pops in big man skills for a center would constitute as a good season?

may i ask what nationality you are?

i say 8 pops in the main skills is a good year, more if u have the ideal conditions eg 18 yr old, 7 foot, level 5 trainer.

ive had about 8-10 pops on my main trainee, he's a center and i have a lvl 4 trainer and hes about 6'10.

also im south african but i moved to australia a few years back.

So about 12 pops just training main skills is a good season? ie 8 main pops and 4 secondaries like JS from IS training etc?

But, if you train your player almost every week, won't he get injured too easily?

Interesting thread.

My guys who trained generally the whole season (aged by the last year, now a year older):

1) 18yrs old 6'0'', trained actually only 11 weeks (I had to buy him first)

- 10 pops : JS, JR, OD (3x), HN, DR, Pass, ID, FT
should be close to another pop in OD

2) 21yrs old 6'2", training cornerstone, my best draft pick ever, I wish he wouldn't 19yrs old when drafted

- 10 pops : JS, JR, OD (3x), HN (2x), DR (2x), Pass
expecting pop in DR next week

3) 20yrs old 6'4'', currently U21 NT Small Forward

- 11 pops: JS (2x), OD (3x), HN (2x), Dr (2x), Pass, FT

Other players in training regime, got only fraction of training, are not on my roster anymore or are only recwently additions.

They usually got 48 minutes (or nearly like 47 because of the infamous last minute substitutions pattern) unless they got injured or fouled out, I didn't record that, only pops and what kind of training they got. They were trained one positon if there is such a trading for the trained skill - for One on One they had to trained in two position tzraining (guards).

Lvl 5.

Players can't get injured from training.
