Pressure? Or 1 on 1? I see inside defense but no training type specifically for outside defense.

Pressure trains outside defence. One-on-one is for driving.

Thanks, that's what I thought but I just wanted confirmation.

That link doesn't work .. ?

Is there any sort of list where there is an overview of what to train to higher the different match ratings?

The bottom of the nomenclature section of the rules kind of explains this:

http://www.buzzerbeater.com/BBWeb/rules.aspx?nav=Nomenclature

* Outside Scoring, Defense: Both guards weighted heavily, small forward medium, power forward slightly.
* Inside Scoring, Defense: Center weighted heavily, power forward somewhat heavily, small forward medium.
* Rebounding: Center and power forward weighted heavily, small forward somewhat heavily, both guards medium.
* Offensive Flow (how well the offense produces assists, avoids turnovers): point guard weighted very heavily, shooting guard weighted medium, small forward weighted medium.


So for example to improve your outside scoring you'd want to improve the jump shot and range skills of your guards and small forward.

Below is an excerpt from the Nomenclature page, directly above what Bluemax wrote on the Nomenclature page.

The following is a list of the categories that players are rated in:

Jump Shot: A better shooter will make more shots at all distances.
Jump Range: A player with a higher jump range will find that the effectiveness of his jump shot decreases less with distance.
Perimeter Defense: A player with better perimeter defense will be more effective at defending against outside shots and pressuring ball handlers.
Handling: Allows the player to avoid losing the ball to the opposing defense while dribbling. Important against a pressing defense (to be added later) or, in general, against good perimeter defense. Teams with good handling will have more success at creating quality shot opportunities.
Driving: Allows the player to create his own shot without a good pass from a teammate. Better driving creates shots more often and creates better shots on average.
Passing: Helps to create good shots (and get assists). Bad passing can also lead to turnovers.
Inside Shot: A better inside shooter will make more two-point baskets.
Inside Defense: A player with better inside defense is better at preventing inside scoring by the opposition.
Rebounding: A good rebounder will retrieve the ball more often after a missed shot. Notice that height is already considered when a player's rebounding skill is displayed. A player who is 7'2" but has a low rebounding skill simply is very bad at positioning and will not get very many rebounds. He'll learn more quickly though...
Shot Blocking: Will help to block shots. Not very useful for perimeter players.
Stamina: A player with high stamina will tire more slowly, and can be effective for longer periods on the court.
Free Throw: Will help to make free throws. Interior players tend to be fouled more frequently, but this is a useful skill for everybody.
