Am I missing something or is there a place to control training during the season?

No there is no training that happens during the season that you control - players do get ratings improvements at certain points in the season based on their potential available, their work ethic, the player development ratings of your coaching staff and how much playing time they are getting.

hmmm, i see, thanks for the info and reply?

I want to elaborate for you - there is no in-season training in the NBA. Teams are playing games 3-4 times a week usually, they have travel to each of those games so yes the players will have a fitness regimen they individually do but anything they are doing as a team (film, walkthroughs, practice) is really just game prep stuff. The offseason is where a player really can focus on improving his game in certain areas which is why the game has a training camp session but during the season that just really doesn't happen.

hmmmm, ok...sounds reasonable....do we get an update notifying a bump to player(s) ratings during the season as you described? Also, might be interesting, for future versions, to offer some kind of "training" incentive to players during the season? Or maybe just provide feedback to gm when players are taking advantage of extra "training" during the season, just a thought of course. Thanks for expounding on my original inquiry, appreciate that...

Agree with points above, not need to have special training during the season. I do have some questions, searched the forum, but didn't see:

For player development, is something posted somewhere with guidance/tips?
* How does playing time in the pros compare to G/Dev league? Fewer minutes but more intense in the pros, and longer season. If I can get them 10 minutes a game in the pros, is that similar to getting 25 or 30 in Dev league?
* How frequently in-season does progression occur? I've completed 2 1/2 months (32 games, almost 40% of the season), and no changes I can identify - nothing showing on each player's Ratings Progression tab.

I don't recall the exact dates but there's one like halfway into the season and one before the playoffs.

Playing time I don't recall the exact minutes off the top of my head but basically consistent pro minutes (not like 5) are going to be better than g-league minutes. G-league minutes better than not playing in the pros or playing 2 minutes here, 6 minutes three games later etc..

I've played 2 seasons, and there seemed no in-season change for any players in either of the seasons. I captured a screenshot for a rookie after the season ended in April - still showing same values as the start of the season.

Ah it says the board attachment quota has been reached, so I can't upload.
