Hi there people,

is training game shape good?

Because I will probably be (I hope so lol) next week in cups final, and I need my players in top game shape.

Is training game shape even good, or is it better to train this week stamina?

Does training game shape for 1 week even significally increase players game shape, or it just keeps it from "falling" to lower levels?

never trained GS, in fact I've lost two finals :p Train GS if the minutes taken this week are not the best one otherwise make another choice.

Training game shape is quite efficient, especially if you haven`t done it so far this season, as its effectiveness decreases with every use.

How do you know this? Are you sure?

Should I train it even the minutes of the players are ok (50 - 75 each)?

I dunno, I`m quite new to BB but a friend told me that he has heard that someone has seen a guy that knows someone who has used it and he said it was efficient...

I hate you.

I see.

So for example, If I trained once this season before, will it even have any effect?

GS training decrease the more you do it.

I think this information really needs to be added to the game manual. There's no way most new managers can find this out except by stumbling across forum posts. Also, I'm pretty sure default training for new managers is set to GS, so they can loose their GS training effectiveness quickly if they don't find out.

That is why there is available a "Guide To BuzzerBeater" with 10 times the information of the game manual. The game manual is for noobs to start off and learn to play. The guide is for those who actually wanna improve once they know the basics.

I had a cup sf and final last week so decided to train GS, cause the week before, 2 of my best pg/sg players minutes were over 80+. So I nedded my backcourt in form for the final push for the title. Actually, I really dont remember when i last trained gs, if i did it at all. Of course I havent trained it this season for sure. So this is what happened:
240k pg with 81 mins and 8 gs stayed in the same GS (ok not bad but could have been better)
122k sg with 120 mins and 9 gs changed to 8 GS.(considering the minutes and previous GS maybe ok)
188k C with 66 mins and 8 gs changed to 9 GS. (minutes were good enough to have 9 GS even without GS trainin)
184k pf with 64 mins and9 gs changed to 8 GS.(pretty sad. should have been 9. minutes perfect + GS training)
88k C with 70 mins and 8 gs stayed same. (Same here. should have been 9. minutes perfect + GS training)
84k PF with 74 mins and 8 gs changed to 9 GS. (Good, but here the minutes were also good enough for good GS).
11k C with 97 mins and 8 gs stayed the same (i guess ok).
So basically, the only good thing was that 120 min guy with 9 gs lost only 1 level in gs and didnt lose 2. Other than that, I had the feeling that game shapes couldnt have been worse, even if i didnt train GS.
So my advice would be that, if you have players in good minutes, its not worth training GS (of course if you dont have trainees and dont care about that).
