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

1. (78242.1) Here it's a rough description of which training trains what skills (including secondary skills).
2. No.

Could we perhaps have potential renamed to skill cap potential or max potential.
This user has asked but many do not ask and I believe they just assume that potential means the player will train better or play better. Its very confusing to many.


Agreed. I've seen newer managers overspend on high potential players that are crappy in skills and older in age because they think a 27 year old HOF 51 TSP guy is better than a 55 TSP 18 year old Role player

yadda yadda yadda, many examples like that

I think potential is an accurate description, because it tells you what he could be, but doesn't have to be currently. Maybe more focus can be laid on the necessity of proper training to make use of the potential, because I also see many managers just buying a lot of young players, hoping they will improve naturally with age.

That's what I encounter when I contact managers for U21 players. The situation you describe happens too I believe, but I think if the concept of training (it's more effective for younger players) is clear, that problem will partially be solved too. I do believe some managers will be confused by the term potential, and think it's more than it is, but I don't think a change in the name is necessary because it's accurate. Some additional explenation might be good though, to make clear it's just that, potential and without work it's worth nothing (like in real life).
