why try to train for a SF when a 6'0 ft guy could easily be a very good SG or PG. btw as if salary dont mean anything, face it dude, those SFs are salary's high cause they are great SFs (the 5th guy anyway) not just because they have lots of Big men skills.

No, most of those SFs have high salary because they have high jump shot and not much else. If I wanted, I could have pushed Vacirca's JS to legendary+ and he would also be at $70,000 in salary right now. But I would take Vacirca over any such player in a heartbeat.

I have more than enough ;)


He is definitely one of the best trainees out there. Not sure if he is worth the money, though. He is really only selling for that much because of his NT/U21 possibilities (you have to think of what your return will be on him - if you are already starting at 3 million that means a long road to make a profit).

Anyhow, what I thought was funny was this:

Player x is probably better than all 22 of these players, but the few that are most similar have been selling for around $ 350 000 to $ 550 000.

I have been getting a message like that for Wendon for quite a few seasons now (although Wendon's hovers around 3 million) but obviously he is worth quite a bit more than that.

"he's a very good player, with a solid base of internal skills... but for almost two season you must train him in external skill... defense is great for is age, for this season he needs to shot the ball a lot and maybe a few of passing
cheers"


That actually makes it sound like he wants you to train guard skills for at least the next 2 seasons... Personally I don't agree if you are turning him into a SF (you keep his salary low by going to the inside skills now, plus they will take longer to train, so it is better to do them now). But that's just me.

Dear All, I know this might belong in the training speed thread but its valid here too as the people reading this thread all share an interest in building some quality SF's.

My Q is about how quickly OD (or slowly) it trains on players 6'4-6'8.... how noticeable is the difference from the 6'0 guards... My 6'10 guy I know I should stop training but I keep thinking just 1 more pop!

There is a 6'5 Legendary OD player on the market right now and I'm curious to learn the time it took between skill ups to achieve this.

I wanted to wait for others to reply first, as I have no definite answer... But here is what I can tell you for single position training: Wendon is 6'10" and when he was 23, it was 4 weeks for an outside d pop (at 24, it took 6 weeks, but I may have had skill cap issues, too). Last season Vacirca (at 6'4" and 22 yrs old) took 3 weeks to get an outside d pop. And someone on the Canada off-site forum mentioned that their 6'7" 19 yr old took about 3 weeks to get an outside d pop.

Thanks for this.. I assume you are talking single position training?
