"Multi-skilled players are way better than 3-4 skilled players."

3 or 4 is sort of "multi", no?

Not really. 3 or 4 well-developped primary skills is the sanitary minimum for just about any position. Players with less than that generally classify as useless.

I know more about NBA prolly than you can imagine;)
If Charles Barkley would play at SG then John Paxson could easily guard him. Not everyone can play any position. Pay attention... C and PG are the so called edge positions and players on those positions can prolly play 1-2 spots on the floor (yes there are exeptions). 5.10 pg can not really play post but he can easily play SG spot. 7.00 C can not play the PG spot but he can easily play PF.
So back to my point SF is an all around position and can be played by all around players (multitalented) or SG-s or PF-s.

If your SF can not play SG or PF then I suggest that you train 3 spots or buy a better SF. All this topic seems to focus on is make the game easier. Yes training is not exactly like in the real world but it works fine. You can choose what to do. Takes more time to make an all around team. Don't make it like "wow" where whiners made the game so easy that hardcore players are left with no challenge at all. You can play wow with eyes closed now and not die.

NB!: Bird and Celtics were the best:) "Magic" Johnson was even better in all around games than Jordan. Sorry I shatterd your dream:D

the problem is not if our SF can play SG or PF but why he must play SG or PF to take training, this is the point.

You do not have to play them out of position, you have trainings for SF at their own position. Yes some of them are 3 pos trainings but that's the challenge of the game. You want faster training you must play out of position (so faster progress = perhaps some losses or game shape loss) or in scrimmage.

no no no wait. 3 pos of training is absurd, I have not created my SF with 3 position training.

You just owned yourself. I hope you realise that:)

As leagues become more competitive from the top down, current SF training will become even more difficult.

Let the lower league teams train the gun SF's & the higher league teams can buy them - all about sacrifice & deciding what is important for you in BB

You can do some pretty good damage with a SF that has good IS and little else playing look inside.

In principle, you can do a lot of damage simply by being the superior team, but this is not the issue here.

This is main point here, and why I keep saying that there should be some options to train SF without out diluting the training by training 2 or 3 players.

(Incidentally, I also think we should be able to train SG at Outside Shooting without having to train PG at the same time, too, but let's not drag the PG training into this thread...)

Sure it is. A uni-skilled player at any other position is useless. SF are so underdeveloped they can be successful.
