Just wanted to gauge everyone's experience here. I've trained for 6 weeks with a level 5 trainer (I believe my trainee got 48+ minutes each week except 1) but have not received a pop. I've never seen that before. What is the longest one of your trainees has gone without a pop?

That does seem pretty slow. Maybe your trainee is old, capped, or has a large cross training penalty from very uneven skill distribution?

did you train the same thing all 6 weeks?

yeah, it's happened to me before when to a couple players that were capped. think it took like 2 seasons before either of them got a single pop. (but i mixed up training... not the same thing every week.)

Age? Height? What are you training? And most importantly, skill set and potential as it's quite possible he's capped.

Here is some information about my trainee. Perennial Allstar potential. Currently $66,000 salary and 25 years old this season so all training weeks except the most recent one occurred when he was 24. Training Pressure to improve outside defense from Colossal to Legendary. Here are his minutes since his last pop. Level 5 trainer.

Week of 2/24/2012: 48+ minutes

Week of 4/13/2012: 48+ minutes

Week of 4/20/2012: 43 minutes

Week of 4/27/2012: 46 minutes

Week of 5/4/2012: 48+ minutes

Week of 5/11/2012: 48+ minutes

Week of 5/18/2012: 48+ minutes

I don't think my trainee is maxed out because I've seen players in the TL with higher salaries.

You can check this site, the salary and cap calculator seems pretty precise to me.

Close as it can be for a calculator, I guess. At least the cap thing has been fairly accurate for my players.
I assume the program calculates some subskill here and there and that leads to some odd results for the salary.
