2. Just a suggestion, I would train his primaries and then his secondaries. So train his secondaries around age 22.

Here is my trainee, I'm quite proud of him:


Weekly salary: $ 6 075
Role: backup
(BuzzerBeta)

DMI: 83300
Age: 18
Height: 6'2" / 188 cm
Potential: superstar
Game Shape: proficient
Jump Shot: proficient Jump Range: average
Outside Def.: proficient Handling: proficient
Driving: proficient Passing: respectable
Inside Shot: pitiful Inside Def.: average
Rebounding: pitiful Shot Blocking: atrocious
Stamina: respectable Free Throw: pitiful

I got him on draft, he was the best player from his class. I'm training him to become U-21. I don't know if he will be able to play for NT because of low potential for NT, but I hope he will be at least a reserve.

I have trainer lvl5 and three weeks ago I started with OD training single position. He popped twice in two weeks, never happened before. But then, I never used single position training since now. He'll pop this week in OD again.

Here's the question: unfortunately he started with atrocious FT. Do you think I should get his FT at least to inept-mediocre or it's better to train the basic skills for a guard for a purpose of U-21 and train FT at the end of his 21 years?

heres one of my main trainee :

Weekly salary: $ 4 471
Role: regular starter
(BuzzerBeta)

DMI: 42200
Age: 19
Height: 6'5" / 196 cm
Potential: MVP
Game Shape: strong

Jump Shot: respectable Jump Range: respectable
Outside Def.: strong Handling: strong
Driving: strong Passing: average
Inside Shot: average Inside Def.: average
Rebounding: respectable Shot Blocking: mediocre
Stamina: awful Free Throw: mediocre

any tips how to train him??

I would have focused on JR and OD first, and no One on One until he's a bit older. But that's me.

Fantastic player, but those low inside skills are kinda drawbacks...

I'd say that you train JR for the rest of this season, and next season train OD until it is around tremendous. Then train passing and handling little and focus on JS and JR.

His potential is good enough for NT. I'm sure the manager of the U21 NT and NT are already excited to have a player like him.

Atrocious FT is a pain in the neck. Yes I'd say train FT sometime to at least awful. I have a player with pitiful FT but he can make FT with 55% consistency. Even getting FT to pitiful can make a huge difference.

Thank you and Iwen for your answers. Since I'm training him for U-21, I have to get maximum out of the training in his first three seasons; this means, for example, no 1 on 1 training for SF/PF as I would have loved, but mainly focusing on his primaries. I think U21 coach would like to see one pop more on OD and PA than two pops in IS, for example. I hope at the start of his 21 years, he looks something like this:

JS: 13 JR: 9
OD: 15 HA: 13
DR: 13 PA: 14
IS: 2 ID: 7
RB: 2 SB: 1

And FT awful. At the end of his U21 career, I will focus more on One on One for SF/PF as Iwen already said.

Oh, btw, about the potential...we have this player in our NT:

(11052436)

I don't think my player could achieve this much salary with Superstar potential...

Well superstar can have salary between Superstar: 140-220k. It should be little lower than this considering the drop in the salary at the beginning of this season and last season, but superstar potential should do fine. At least he should eventually be able to become a backup guard.

Yeah, JR boosts the salary a lot...Though i'm a bigger fan of high DR+decent IS to go along with PA, because everyone's OD is so high these days it kills outside shooting every time.
