The difference I see is that my "opinion" is something that everyone else happens to agree with and is more likely than yours. For example, you have not provided any evidence that a double pop is possible, nor any evidence that there is a luck factor in training, so I have not dismissed any evidence because you have provided none.

Just because you chose to ignore it and practically assumed that I am lying when I told you that I had heard of it from reputable sources doesn't mean that I hadn't provided it. And do you really want to talk about how many people do or don't agree with me. I am not the one sporting a 2 1/2 ball rating. I would say that if you live in a glass castle you shouldn't throw stones.

Could you please elaborate on the team training results you've been experiencing?

Some solid data would make your claim more credible, or at least we can help interpret and conclude on the strange occurrences.

My understanding is that there is a solid formula used for training, which is then modified by variables and accelerators. Factors such as age, height, existing skill set and sub levels.

With these modifications, they are then applied to the skill. Although I do find it unlikely a skill would experience 1.0+ in pops. You'd have to be on 5.99 to go to 7 with everything working in your favour.

What season and which player?

I don't think it's a question of whether you are lying or not. I think it's possible that you may be mistaken. It's also possible that you are actually right. But I'll believe it a bit more if a lot more people start to claim it, and would believe 100% when one of my players does it.

Saying you heard something from someone isn't really evidence.

And do you really want to talk about how many people do or don't agree with me. I am not the one sporting a 2 1/2 ball rating. I would say that if you live in a glass castle you shouldn't throw stones.

hahahahaha what a joke. I post far more often than you. People in general give out more 1 balls than 5 balls. I also post in a lot of threads where debates are taking place and everyone gets 1 balled repeatedly for every post they make. There are BBs and GMs with post ratings of 2 to 3 balls, but it is not because they don't know what they are talking about.

I think it's pretty conclusive that even with a World Renowned Trainer and an 18 year old all-time great, you cannot get 2 pops on one skill in the same week. In no situation that I've heard or seen does this type of trainer give you a greater than 1.0 increase in any skill (and I doubt that he gives a full 1.0 in any single position training either). Even free throws and stamina give less than a 1.0 increase.

You are really starting to entertain me now. It's just you against the world isn't it big guy? Ever considered that the real reason that your rating is so low is that people just don't like you? Why do you think so many GM's have a lower rating. They have to tell people to follow rules and such and get one balled. What's your excuse. Arrogant to the bitter end. Hurts to be so wrong doesn't it? Especially after you burn all the bridges for retreat. That's the moral of this story. It's not like I have never been wrong before. It's human to error. But when you act like that you end up eating humble pie instead of being able to say oops I was wrong and move on. Of course, I don't doubt that even now that someone confirmed it you still a sure that you are right. After all what could be more important than blind pride. You are wright and I am wrong. Happy now? Is that what you needed to hear to be able to cry yourself to sleep today. This conversation is over. If you feel like you just must get the last word in go for it, but don't expect me to read it or respond to it. Good luck.

Actually, it seems like it is everyone against you. Maybe they don't like me, but that doesn't make me wrong. Regardless, one person confirming it isn't proof. And it isn't like I'm the only one that doubts your theory. Virtually everyone here finds it highly unlikely. Glad you finally admitted you are wrong.
