do the players need to play in a game to get free-throw training or does the whole team get training even without playing any minutes?

From the rules:

The first training area on the list is Team Training, and this works a little different from the rest. When this is selected, the second menu lists three choices for training areas: Form, Free Throws, and Stamina. For these attributes, it is easy for the coach to train all of the players on your team (he can have them shoot free throws for an hour or run laps around the building), and they dont depend too much on in-game practice. Therefore, selecting one of these options will train your entire roster, whether or not they play in any games that week.

shame on me, i swear i read the rules 10 times already ^^

thx

You're welcome.

The rules are NEVER read enough. I always find myself going back to the rules for similar games that I play online. :)

Although I must warn you that the rules are not entirely right on this point (or there is a bug)

this does not count for stamina anymore since they adapted it.

When training stamina not your entire team trains!!, only the ones that played in a game. I trained stamina 2 weeks ago and had drops for players that didn't play!

That's not true - the entire team DOES train.

However, the drops some players can experience can outweigh the gains made, enough to get a drop even on a training week.

I believe the BBs were going to modify that somewhat, though.

okay, you might look at it that way, however if they get trained, but receive a drop that is bigger, thus the end result being negative, I would be inclined to say they didn't 'get' training. One would think that to 'get' training is to receive something.

It is the end result that counts, and if you train stamina in order to raise their levels, and see the drops, I think you can hardly say the got trained.

But, ofcourse, should you not have trained, the drop would be more. So I asume it helps to train.

Then again, when the player plays some minutes, say 20, I noticed an average raise of 1 level/week, when you don't train stamina, and the player does not play, I noticed an average drop of 2 levels every 3 weeks. If you take these two together this would mean that there has to be a diffrence in the amount a player raises his stamina based upon playing minutes. A player who plays no minutes will basically get very low amount of stamina training. Based upon this info of raises and drops, I'd say the raise they get from training is so small in comparison to the drop, that one could talk about 'no training received' .

Others have info and facts about raises and drops in relation to minutes played when training stamina?

What I'm saying is that stamina DOES train everyone, regardless of minutes. Your post stated that it did not.

That's a fact that needs to be clarified.

I think the more relevant point is that stamina training is not random, that everyone does get it.

And does losing stamina on a stamina training week suck? You bet your ass it does.

yes, it does, but when one says it does, it should imediatly be added it will be very limited for those who didn't play.
It surely does not work the same way as the free trow training, where every player receives the same amount, wheter he played or not.

about the sucky part, it didn't realy influence me the time I trained them since the players that dropped don't interest me anymore. But I bet that others who read that all players are trained and then notice a drop will be very disapointed indeed... ;)
