Ok, two questions really.
1. The game manual touches, but doesn't go to full on depth on which training areas help with complementary skills versus which doesn't. Could someone list what does versus what doesn't?
2. Also, would you say that potential impacts one's play as well as whatever attributes they have? For example, let's say I'm a weaker team going against the division's best. Let's also say that I have two shooters that are proficient but one has a 6th man potential while the other is a p. all-star.
Will the latter have a better chance for a good shooting night than the former since their attribute level is the same but the potential is greater?
Potential only effects how high you can train up their skills before you (essentially) cannot train them anymore.
As to the complimentary skills question:
Depends.
What position? What offense? What defense?
to over-generalize, the complimentary skills are JR/HN/DR/REB/SB
and of course stamina and Ft and gameshape
