A player can pop in multiple skills obviously. But the same skill cannot have 2 pops in 1 week. If this were possible it would mean that the skill trained received an increase of 1.0 minimum. This would mean that you would experience a pop every week if you trained that skill. But no skill does this. Therefore, no individual skill can pop twice in the same week :)


That's not exactly correct. I once had two separate players pop three times in a row during the same three week period. And I wasn't even doing single position training. I was training rebounding.

That is possible.
For example consider this:
Initial skill of rebounding starts at 7.99
Then lets say that you get 0.7 skill increase for rebounding due to trainer level and height of player and age of player.
After 1 week you would get a pop and you would be at 8.69 skill level for rebounding.
After another week you would get a pop and you would be at 9.39 skill level for rebounding.
After another week you would get a pop and you would be at 10.09 skill level for rebounding.

So I showed you that you can get 1 pop in the same skill over 3 consecutive weeks.
However, if the skill amount received was 1.0 you would receive a pop every single week forever.
This is not true for any skill.

I am willing to bet that on your fourth week of rebounding training you did not get a pop, and most certainly not on your fifth if you did manage to get one on your fourth.

You showed me nothing. Sorry. You described the worst case scenario. And it didn't even take into effect the added benefit of single position training. It is much more likely that I got between .8 to .9 pops that week, and it was with two position training.

You do know that different skills train with different speeds? I am also pretty sure none of the single pos training gives 1.00+ skill level to one skill. We can argue how much 1on1 and handling training total would be, but one skill does not raise by 1.00+.

You miss both trainings, but have you ever checked when do the zeros get cleaned from the board. It seems to me it's the saturdays league game that swipes the board clean. Perhaps that's how BB-s clean out the trades that happen between 1-st training of BB - the last training of BB, in that week.

Minutes get zeroed for me on Fridays at the training update. That is when the "Weekly stats" and all minutes there get wiped.

You missed the point. The point I was making was that you can get a pop multiple weeks in a row for a single skill, however you cannot get a pop every week for a single skill.

No skill, regardless of 1 position training, level 7 trainer and optimal height and age, will ever receive a pop every single week that it is trained.

Therefore no single training can add 1.0+ to a skill.

But, you need to look at the time when the zeros are removed from the board. That's when the weekly clear happens.

You don't think that IS or ID single position trains faster than RB? I don't have hard proof or anything, but I would be willing to bet that they do. And I din't even have a level7 trainer. So, that would give an additional small boost. In addition if the skill is a revers runaway that would give even more of a boost on top of that.

Still won't ever allow a skill to pop every single week.
