So, I was just explaining the training system to one of my brothers, and his reaction was priceless.

I was telling him that a player needs to play 48 minutes in order to get full training. He was like, WTF?

Then I told him that if I want to train my C in passing (for example), he needs to play 48 minutes in a PG position to get full training. The look on his face was priceless.

I tried to tell him that, yeah, it's a game and it helps to make it more strategic. He just laughed and said that was stupid.

What do you think?
Poll:  Training system is...
...stupid?
...totally awesome?
...couldn't care less?

I don't really think the training system is that good, but at least it's something. The training system is like the BCS delima that solved a couple of days ago. This is like the BCS thing, just in BB.

I've played just about all the sports manager games out there on the net, and stand alone products, and I think the BB training system, for all it's lack or realism, is a great feat of game design. I agree that teh strategic layers and implications that it creates in the overall game are myriad and wonderful.

There are some times when realism should trump game design, but other times when good game design should trump realism. The BB training system is one of the latter.

It's great for the game. You need to sacrifice something to gain something for the future.

Nippon is a wacky micronation league
You hit the nail on the head. Should you really expect normal results in your league? If a player plays in a certain slot for most of the season. Why would they select those SF's at SF position? It would not make sence.

Career stats...
For all the mumbojumbo following those two words. This is not real life. This training system suits the game, in order to make a multiskilled player, you need to go the extra mile.
So what you are suggesting is: make draft powerful and training ineffective. Create random drops to player (some players get worse), give personalitys to players so they choose the team they sign with, introduce career ending injuries (my favorite) etc. Anything else you would like to add to "your game".

Most importantly!!! It should be pay to play!
