Is there any skill to train to have a great pf?
Because whatever I've trained I alwas notice that my inside players have better ratings as Cs than PF. Or is it always like this?


An C with good secondaries and a few JS pops would work well

The only difference between a PF and C salary-wise is jump shot. If you train JS high enough a Center turns into a power forward. All other perimeter skills are free for both positions.

I guess you should train the 4 major inside skills and add JS and OD...That will give you a pretty solid PF...Of course it all depends on which tactic you use and which opponent you face...

Are you sure?

I wont say he is the best PF in the world but he is the only PF I have so I used his as an example and the salary calculator by Moutlinho.

Garth Larbi (8157914) Center
Weekly salary: $ 31 985
Age: 26
Height: 6'10" / 208 cm
Potential: allstar
Jump Shot: strong Jump Range: mediocre
Outside Def.: respectable Handling: inept
Driving: respectable Passing: pitiful
Inside Shot: prominent Inside Def.: sensational
Rebounding: tremendous Shot Blocking: proficient
Stamina: mediocre Free Throw: prominent Experience: mediocre


Salary calculator says his salary is slightly higher $35,742 - maybe he had a pop this season before I got him, whatever. Look at the following changes when I add + 1 to a skill.

IS $40178
ID $40423
RE $40143
SB $38025
JS $38236

No surprises there right, well look at these outside skills.

JR $35917
OD $35953
HA $35777
DR $35988
PA $35953

So they all do add to the cost. Great value, for sure, you can have +1 to all of them and still be cheaper than +1 to just SB and I know which I would prefer, but the calculator says they aren't free.

Well salary-wise other perimeter skills have a minimal effect on salary, they are used better at the PF position than at the C position.

I could certainly be wrong. I'm going off of the coach parrot and the salary calculator from Buzzer Manager.

According to both of those sites, salaries are calculated as follows:

PG - JS, JR, OD, HA, DR, PA, RB
SG - JS, JR, OD, RB
SF - JS, JR, OD, RB, ID
PF - IS, ID, RB, SB, JS
C - IS, ID, RB, SB

If the skill isn't listed it's free.

I'm relatively new to the game so someone please correct me if I'm wrong.

My thought on this is that the "free" skills add just a little to the salary, while the listed skills adds way more to the salary.
That would be my guess.

The point is a "free" skill doesn't imply that it is "useless"
