Both these guys came with my team.

Coming with your team is a SWEET bonus.

Player A "shorty"
OD and handling need work. I'd work on the OD first.

Player B
Allstar is worth training, yes, keep him. Train him 2nd with Shorty.
His OD DEFINITELY needs work. at his low skill set, you're basically training him up, as he is a home-grown player, so you get merchandising bonus and fan survey likes him.

First work on OD though until "Shorty" is at a good spot

I'd y train the PA mainly. He got more potential. He'll go further. You can try to train the Allstar. Cause if you train him right, you can sell him for 300+k. But just do this;

1. Put the P. Alstar to start in both league games (at PG), he'll get about 30-35 minutes per game, so he got 60-70. Good for training.
2. Put the allstar to back up the legue games (at backup PG). He'll get 13-18 minutes a game, then start him (at PG) in the cup/scrimmage match. Then he'll have about 55-70 minutes. Good there.
3. Buy 1 10kish guy with good skills in one position. Manage his GS.
4. Get some 7-9k guys that can have 9-11 defense, and 8-10 shooting
5. For shooting guards to buy get a guy with these core skills;
8-10 JS
7-8 JR
9-11 OD
8-10 HA
9-11 DR
6-9 PA

Small Forward;
Get every skill to be at the 6-11 range, with at least 9 OD and ID. Depending on your like of defense
Total offense no less than 7.
Driving no less than 6
Rebounding no less than 7.
Then everything else is your choice.
PF/C
8-10 IS
9-11 ID
8-10 REB
SB doesn't count, just ignore that.

6. Depending on which 10-12k guy you're buying, just after that, get the guys at 7-9k. To stay cheap. Along the way, build arena.


Hope this works. This is my advice.



PS; Don't get all old guys man, they just don't help. Just get 1-2. 3 at the most. Then you're fine. Other than that, train your guards and you'll be great!

PPS; Just hope to get out of D4 withen this season or two. Cause guys you train will balloon in their salaries. So watch out for that. Again, good luck in BB!

um.............well it's up to him if he wants to buy anther trainee. But then it'll be tough to squezze the minutes in. That's why I said 2.

there's a trick to getting 3 guys single position training 48 minutes.

The 1st part of trick. Don't play guys in both league games.

I think I am only going to train these guys and get another trainee from the draft.

How are they not made to play the same position?
