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.

We are playing tomorrow? I did not know you moved to Canada. I just hope it is some kind of swap with jbmcrock or oeuftete, as adding a third unbeatable team would not be nice.

Anyhow, although playing my SFs at PG is not the ideal situation, Ngakame and Vacirca do quite well there. The trick will be what I will do with my new trainee (when I pick one up). I just hope to get a lot of easy Cup games this season!

If I see one, I will go after him. But to be honest, I am being pretty picky at the moment. So the player pool I am looking at is pretty small.

We are both playing but of course not versus each other - just saying that following your kind comments I've called time on my 6'10 guy.....

About OD training, I have trained 6'6'' player OD in 2 seasons. In first season I trained OD 7 weeks(48+ min, PG, 21y/o). It took him 3 weeks to pop in OD. In second season I trained OD 4 weeks(3w 48+ min, 1w 39 min, PG, 22y/o) and he popped once in last week.

Yeah but what about his other skills? As stated in the manual, skills pop faster when other skills are high.

"For the other training types, players will improve more quickly not only with additional playing time, but also a more skilled player will improve more quickly. For example, a great inside defender and rebounder will find it easier to improve his shot blocking than a poor inside defender and poor rebounder would. This encourages you to develop players with a combination of skills, but there are many combinations of skills which work well together -- you can develop players who will be a good fit for your team's needs."

So I guess there's no point benchmarking OD training for a whole season to see how fast it will pop, because it will slow down a lot as it gets further away from other guard skills such as handling, JS and passing. If all those skills are of similar level, I'm sure you'd see faster pops.
