When we get the fw maxed out message: "I've been spending extra time working with Robert Hoyle on footwork and defensive fundamentals and unless you have any other ideas, that's all I can get from him." But the player still has potential left to increase in LP, do people take this message to mean take away practice minutes from fw completely, or if you leave the minutes in fw will it still help increase lp and any other attributes affected by fw?

Footwork doesn't help increase LP, it applies to defense and shot blocking. LP increases from the LP category in the practice plan. You can safely scale down your FW minutes and increase them in LP to fill that potential.

you sure? in the faq, it says:

Q: How do attributes change - for instance, I presume that dribbling drills in the practice session improves ball handling, but do athleticism and work ethic change and if so, how?
A: Practicing certain areas of a player's game will help them improve when it comes to game time. See the following table for a list of how each area may impact a player's game:
Practicing Attempts to Improve
Conditioning Stamina and athleticism, particularly important for pressing defenses and fastbreak offenses. Also helps to improve speed, shot blocking and durability.
Footwork Defense, shot blocking and low post play.
Passing Passing, which is especially important in "set" offenses such as the Motion, Triangle and Flex. Can lead to decreased turnovers on offense.
Low Post Improves "back to the basket" moves.
Perimeter Improves mid-range to long-range shooting skills.
Dribbling Ball handling - decreases turnovers.

Interesting...I did not remember low post being a part of that package.

I would still shift whatever minutes you want into LP practice as then you're using them directly on the category you have remaining potential in rather than splitting the effort on the three category areas (two of which presumably are maxed since you received the e-mail).
