I'm new in this game, so your help will be more than necessary...

Right now I decided to use ,,rebounding,, as training type.

1. I selected C/PF.
Q: Does this mean that both C and PF wil recieve training?

2. I have seleted the starting lineup, the 5 backups and 2 Reserves at (C and PF position). For the second league match I will rotate them (the starting C and PF will be backups C and PF, and the backups C and PF from the 1st match will be starting C and PF in the 2nd match).
Q: Is this the right model of training?

3. What is the right training managment? My objective is this: I want my 4 trainees (2 C and 2 PF) to play minimum of 48 minutes per week. Is it possible to achieve? What is the right substitution pattern?

4. How does the substutution system work?
I rotate my players in my last week games, but still only 7 players did play over 48 minutes, and the rest of my team (10 players) played less than 48 minutes. From the ,,lucky,, 7 players only 2 of them, one C and one PF, did played on the ,,right position,,. What was my mistake?

5. My coach is 6 (I believe it is his skill). How can I get better coach?

6. Training Q: is there an information about the dynamics of the individual training?

Here is exaple (Hypotheticaly): I chose to train Inside Rebounding. In the last week I managed to get 48 minutes on court for two C and two PF.

These are the players:
Player 1 (C) is 18 years old, and is respectable rebounder.
Player 2 (C) is 21 years old, and is average rebounder.
Player 3 (PF) is 19 years old, and is average rebounder.
Player 4 (PF) is 24 years old and is strong rebounder.

My coach is 7.

The Q: How many weeks is needed for each player to pop to higher level of rebounding.

Is there a programe/blog/site dedicated to these questions?

2. rotation is good to get that players the time, you can use the third match for finetuning if someone is not on 48 min or throw in your reserves
3. 48min is one game (without overtime) most of the season you got 3 games a week so in theory its possible to train 3 players on a position ( i try 2 and the third just a little bit, sometimes its 3, as the coach decides the subs., also stamina and foulproblems is changing the playing time i think, so its hard to get 48 mins corect)
4. as i said before there is numerous influences on the substitutions during the game, but you should at least get 48 mins with 2 players on a position, you can adjust best if you not let the coach decide, but maybe some other people here can give you further information.
5. on the staffpage there is other coach/pr/doctors every week so you have to check there and see if you get someone better.

ps: the game is very young and also a bit complex, i dont even know if my answers are corect, but its always good o ask in the forum, many people will help you here.

Training is based on 3-games per week (Saturday, Tuesday, Thursday). Now that you are out of the cup, you want to schedule a scrimmage every week. There is no money involved, so it is all about training.

With 3 games, you can get 144 minutes at each position (48x3) so it is generally fairly easy to get two players at each position, and perhaps get some additional training for another player. While someone who plays 40 minutes will get less training than someone who plays 48 minutes, it is not known how much less. It is probably less than proportional (less than 40/48), but probably not useless.

I would generally start my best C and PF for both league games, and not worry too much that they are over 48 total. You also want to win games. If you have an easy game, you might consider using one as backup. If they are a lot better than your backups, they will still get plenty of playing time. Home games give you a boost to rebounding and inside defense, so if I were going to use the better C as the backup, it might happen at home.

Then in the scrimmage, don't play your best C and PF, since they already should have their 48 minutes, and they might get injured. You should be able to get your 2nd best players up to 48 minutes, and get some training for a couple of other players. You could either carry a 3rd C and PF, or you might think about playing one of SF at PF in the scrimmage. Rebounding and inside defense aren't going to hurt a SF.

You might also mix up the positions. If you train PF/C, a player who plays 28 minutes at PF and 20 minutes at C, gets just as much training as if he played 48 minutes at either position.

You probably don't want to stick to any particular skill more than a couple of weeks. Players need a combination of skills. While it may nice to have a skill is a bit better than the other skills, you don't want to have any that are significantly worse.

On the Staff menu, you can select a new coach. Each week beginnig on Monday a different coach is offered. So next week if you check, there might be a "4" offered; and then the following week a "10". So you have to keep watching to see what it available on any particular week.

I've been wondering lately whether it was worth playing only one of my 3 trainees seperately in each of the 3 games so to maximise training. I mean if you have 3 players in your training position of a similar standard who recieve a similar rating i can't see why it wouldn't work out. Atleast you could be sure they were getting maximum training. I wouldn't do this for 2 players per position however.

AT OP. You want to make sure primarily that in the positions you want to train you have the youngest people you can find, this way you are maximising the training speed opportunity and are going to gain levels of training much quicker.

....Eventually, you won't be able to pay the salaries of 6 very skilled players.

I think we are a long way off this stage of the game and I would expect some of the top teams to be selling out 20k plus stadiums by then (sooner) which should provide 500k a week not including cup money and TV money.... I think a decent PR guy will offset the majority of staff costs and so you would need a seriously kick arse line up to be losing money each week!
