Alternative to nba live's academy?

[Chaoot]

Was just wondering whether or not nba 2K9 has a similar feature like live's academy (mainly for dynasty workouts and/or scouting)?

2k8 had (has) developement "mini-games" if you will. Each month you get a certain amount of hours to train your players, each drill costs a certain amount of hours and you can only train 1 player at a time.

Drills include attack the basket, dribble + shoot, shot timing, post O and D, triple threat scoring, contest shot, etc. You have a certain point number to achieve and if you do get those points, the ratings you earn are based off what you did. So if you contest 5 shots but dont actually block any of them, you wont get any blocking attributes.

Many thanks, sounds great, do you (or anyone else really)by any chance know if in 2K9, there is training for more than one player at a time?
