Re 28) - the part where you say they're not trained early only makes their significance bigger in my eyes, so I'm guessing "generally valued a lot less than the other skill points" (by the game engine, I assume?) was the main message you were trying to convey :)

Re 29) - thanks, exactly what I was looking for! Not sure for now how to import my roster (or whether to put it in manually?), but will try to figure it out this weekend!

1) Antuma's secondaries are probably worse than anticipated and a capped-out player with those secondaries isn't tremendously valuable (though he could still be a good player). You may want to consider training his secondaries some. Even getting a little training to round out this season and in any "easy" weeks in the next few seasons could prove beneficial.

Getting major outside training is purely discretionary, though. I'd probably only do that if I had sentimental reasons.

2) Yeah, solid PF. Certainly doesn't mesh perfectly with Antuma if you did want to train secondaries a little. Pressure fits well, I guess.

3) Yeah, it's the potential that limits him. I assume you can get a better trainee with higher potential "pretty much for free" around the draft. I would have started Antuma in your scrimmage today instead of Leal.

Many of you advocate the one-on-one training. If I go for it (and for other 2-position schemes), doesn't it mean I should have six trainees instead of three?

If you do get 6 trainees, then at least 3 of those trainees will miss out during the weeks you 1-position train.

I meant the case of training double positions forever. Or do they pop faster if you alternate between various types of training?

No problem, you should thank Rhyminsimon, he's the one that put his spare time into making it for us to enjoy ;) I believe importing only works if you got your team on the USA offsite, but putting it in manually isn't much work (just put X,5 for skills you've trained but haven't popped yet).

Yeah it's not worth to get 3 extra trainees for the weeks you train 6 positions (just 1v1, JS and RB). They'll miss out on more than half the training, but if you have some other relatively young players you can play them in the extra spots (like under 25yo)

Even then, it seems like it would probably be a hassle to train 6 guys unless you are rounding out 2 or more of them. Along with that, alternating skills is better than training only 1 or 2 skills. Have you heard of the elastic effect?

I have, yeah. But I guess there is always a fair share of buying and selling in this game, so how about I focus on training single positions while I have 3-4 trainable players (e.g. now), then focus on doubles whenever I have 5-6, then try to sell some and again do singles once I'm down to 3-4 again etc? Does this make sense?

OK, just put the Training Simulator to a bunch of tests, also using Jay's model of what perfect looks like:
http://www.buzzerbeater.com/community/forum/read.aspx?thread=228157&m=5

With my advanced trainer and Furman as the main focus, it seems pretty easy to come up with a schedule that leads to, just before the end of season 29:

Evert Antuma 22 6'9" 3.40 1.00 5.53 3.79 7.39 4.26 13.76 14.56 14.06 9.05 8 $72,000 C 25 51 77 1.1 22.51
Eduardo Luís Vaz Leal 22 6'7" 6.13 2.00 6.67 8.83 11.30 9.23 9.37 11.05 13.00 8.85 5 $24,000 C 44 42 86 3.6 18.97
Daniel Furman 23 6'9" 11.15 6.00 5.47 9.50 13.03 9.08 10.95 13.60 12.26 7.74 7 $42,000 PF 54 45 99 2.4 21.63

Furman is mere 9 pops away from PF-perfection (while some of his stats are already above it) and almost capped out. Antuma still has a teeny tiny space to grow, but is still 20 pops away from C-perfection and already earns double - yuck! As you predicted, Leal caps out a year earlier and remains only a slightly better player than Antuma, but luckily on the cheap.

I wouldn't suggest doing this, but it has been done before and I have seen some people make money with this strategy. If you choose to do so, then more power to you.

Why would you train 4 players single position? 3 is already a challenge for most ;)
