This is great news. That is the kind of improvement the BBs should always pursue. BB for me should be all about tactics, and now this new feature adds a new dimension to the game. Pretty cool.
You should start thinking about a way for players train defence (outside or inside) disregarding their positions or their height. I mean, it could be granted the option of training both inside and outside defences at the same time. It could be a slower training but it could be possible, because today is almost impossible to make a PG a good inside defender and a C a good outside defender.

I'm not agree with that, just do it when the player is 18, most of managers who train multiskill player do that. To make great players you have to make sacrifices. . I like combination as their are, but improvements are always welcome.

Kudos to the BBs for another great tactical development.

What I really like about this news post is the "and 1." It has certainly been a long time coming that the refs see the hacking my players take as they go up for dunks in the crowd or try a driving layup or when they fly home to slam in a rebound while being guarded closely.

Now all that is needed is a trapping option and a breakaway after a steal.

Is "player develpment is linked to what position they play on offense, no matter what skill they are working on"
better?

I think a wonderful new feature has been implemented and everyone is focusing on the wording not the actual feature. Its like the kid on Christmas who's more interested in the box than the toy.

BB's I think it was mentioned above, but I didn't see an answer. How will this effect rebounding match-ups? In my head it makes sense that O Rebounds would be at the offensive position and defensive would be at the position we set for them to cover.

Also how will this effect the player ratings?

Its like the kid on Christmas who's more interested in the box than the toy.

But unlike on Christmas, the box matters as well; however cool the toy is.

Thanks a lot.

We waited such stuff for a long time

On BB-France, there is one thing we are discussing about this measure :
Would it be possible in the future that the measure might be efficient for substitutes too ?
(I mean to choose a defensive position for my PG, C or whatever N°1 and another one for my N°2)

I mean if I want to train a C like a PG or whatever, that's great.
But perhaps, during an important match, without thinking about formation, I would like to use one kind of defensive position for my player N°1, but not for my substitute because they have not the same kind of skills.

Perhaps am I anticipating far too much, but i wonder if this measure would help training multiskills players (yes, it's the big point here, and that's great), but would also prevent from using 2 players different at the same offensive position during an important match, when used.

Ok, that's not a big problem somehow since, if this happens, well, I would not modifiy the defensive position.
But if it could be improved by permitting the same kind of decision for substitutes, it would improve even more the measure

Anyway, thanks again for your efforts ;)

I think that would be hard to introduce. What happens when your N°2 guy is about to enter the floor to guard the PG the starting C is already guarding? Then you need to change all five players at the same time.

okay, in that news post we didn't just say "sometime in the future", we actually said SPECIFICALLY season 10, and then in the forums we clarified that it would happen at the allstar break.

We should have clarified this in the start of the season 10 news post, we did say so in the forums.

And how can I find older news posts? Last one (on my list) is from 2009-07-24.

I think it is highly unlikely if not for something else then for just because Let coach decide with blank slots is a legitimete lineup.
