Player Training - NBA LIVE Mobile Season Tip-Off

In the NBA, sometimes it's not about what you've done, but what you can do. Every year, players are drafted based on their potential, or what they might project to, if developed properly. In the new season of NBA LIVE Mobile, you can now develop your own ultimate team with our new “Player Training” feature.

Every base Gold and Elite player that you come across can be trained using other players or special training collectibles. Each time you gain a new level with a player, his OVR will increase by 1. At launch, every trainable player will be able to increase by 5 levels, making +5 the maximum OVR increase each player can gain.

Training is initiated through the brand-new My Team menu.

You'll be presented with the 5 starters and 5 bench players that make up your NBA and Classic Lineups. Tapping on any Gold or Elite player from this screen will take you to their player page.

Here, you will see everything you need to know about the player, including which other players at his position you have to replace him with. Tapping “Train Player” will take you to the player training screen.

At the top, you can see how many training points will be needed to train this player. You can select which items or other players you want to use to train by tapping on them. They will then have a check-mark placed on them, indicating that they have been used to train. Once you've accumulated enough training points, you can then apply them, and you will receive a notification showing you which ratings will be increased with this OVR gain, and how much it will cost to improve this player. Here, we are taking Crossroads Elite Lonzo Ball and improving him from an 80 OVR to an 81. The scrollable list on the right shows all of the increases he's going to get to his ratings as part of this increase.

The training points value derived from any item in the game is directly tied to its OVR (if it's a player) or its category (if it's a collectible). Higher OVR=more training points. Since players/items are consumed when they are used to train, only players not on your bench or in your starting 5 can be used to train so that you don't accidentally discard one of your starters.

Although your trained players will become non-auctionable once you've applied training points to them, the training points will carry over for most players. So, for example, if I had a new point guard that I wanted to use in place of this trained Lonzo Ball, I could use him to train the new player and maintain my training point value, since his OVR has increased.

This is a great new addition to this season of NBA LIVE Mobile and we are excited to see what you all do with it and how you create your very own ultimate team.
