Re: Help with setting training in myleague

Here's how I mostly handle it:

1. Injuries: change physical to injury rehab. If I don't want to have the player play injured, I set intensity to very high. Then when the player is healthy and back in the rotation I change everything back to player type and medium.
2. Young developmental bench players with potential: set to high or very high intensity to ramp up development while they are young. Especially if they are not yet in the rotation.
3. Veteran bench depth: I sometimes consider lowering intensity to low to keep them fresh and minimize injuries for late in the season. Depends on their age and stamina.
4. I set all training to player type but I also customize player type for each player based on what I want them to focus on, and my team philosophy. My team now is very focused on defense so, for example, given a choice between a big as an inside scorer versus two way, all around or even defense or rebounding, I go with one of the later options. But it also depends on the rest of your roster and how you put it all together.
5. Player Focus: I only learned about this recently. In the player training sub menu when you can set the player's physical focus, you can hit the Y button (XB1) to open up a menu of options to set player focus. I virtually always choose a very high option if one is available, and more rarely high even if there's a very high available by position. Those labels change as the players develop and are influenced by how you develop them, but you can shape it more with higher potential, young players. By the time a player is 25 or 26 you really won't be able to change a high level to very high unless the potential is huge and the high focus area is already close to the very high ones by numerical rating.
6. Other stuff: I leave team training pretty much evenly split between physical, tactical and fundamental. I imagine if I had a totally young developmental team that was not good but had potential, I might boost fundamental and tactical, for example, but I haven't had to face that in a long time. I also don't do check box development because it doesn't, in my view, boost much and it costs ability in other areas. The exception for me has occasionally been trying to boost a player's stamina, a sticking point for me because I play 12 minute quarters at 55 fatigue and 50 stamina on the sliders, so players can wear down during a game. A 70 stamina PF just doesn't cut it for me, and if he's a good player, I hate to be able to use him for only 15-20 minutes regularly. But the stamina check box boost doesn't do a whole lot, maybe a little when young, at very high intensity and with potential high. It bugs me that the system does not seem to have any player training focus that boosts stamina past age 25 (even athletic doesn't seem to do it).

All of this is for MyLeague where you don't have to manage conversations with players who may not like how hard you work them in practice.

Re: Help with setting training in myleague

How do you guys set the intensity of the training for players though? I right now have this concept of having starting 5 and sixth man at MEDIUM for a month (I only play 29 games a season in myleague), and then players I use off the bench but won't get too many minutes at HIGH, and rookies will be at SUPER HIGH, veterans and players I know won't develop much and I don't plan to play much at MEDIUM as well, so here is the breakdown for my Raptors:

Lowry, Demar, James Johnson, Amir Johnson, JV, Lou Will at MEDIUM
Patterson, Handsbrough, Vasquez, Ross at HIGH
Caboclo and Nogueira at SUPER HIGH
Hayes, Fields and Stiemsma also at MEDIUM

And I also want to know the counter effect of players being trained too hard? Injuries? Tired in real game?
