Hey everyone, I frequently see new suggestions and actual implementations based on helping teams who train players more. I guess most people on this game really like to train and that's fine. I just wanted to start this thread to say that I, for one, am not really a fan of training because I'm not patient enough, and prefer to just buy players on the market. I don't really see many people share this viewpoint on the forum though, so I don't know how many other people are also like this.

you are not the only one
but to make money you need to train.
the problem is that the trainnig system is faulted in my opinion especialy in the 24 age and above
the draft also

I too once echewed training in favor of the George Allen 1970's Washington Redskins "the future is now" mantra. In many ways it still is, but I have mixed in training into the regime, yes it takes patience, it takes discipline, and these guys do not always matriculate how you really envision a. But I have since the late 20's been working the process and it has born fruit.

-at the end of season 28 I "drafted"/had the luck to be given two PF of Perennial All Star potential with some decent looking numbers baked in. One of them I got to 91 TSP(45-46) with 10JS/OD, 7 HA/DR, only has a 9IS 11RB/SB & 13 ID. So he is weirdly effective. Grades at 13.0, Averages 7.1 pts/9.4RB 1.5 steals, 1.9 blocks. He is flexible, can play the 3 or the 5.

The other guy just never had the same internal drive. But does have 78 TSP (34-44) but lacks the decent guard secondaries and is just a hair behind on the inside traits, but is of a similar effect. Grades overall at 12.5 8.5pts 9.0 boards, 2.1 blocks. Prryy much plays C only, him and the other guy are in essence interchangeable. Also these builds kept the salaries real low both are in the low 20's so I feel I get excellent value for their services.

-at the tail end of s34 I picked up a pair of 21 year olds at a very reasonable price with some solid attributes built up. A PG for $156,100 a SF for 62,400. Both have trained into the low 90's. Both can start. The PG is 14JS 16OD 15HA/DR but only a 8PA and his inside skills are non existent so his performance is unpredictable. He grades at an even 12, his salary is a hair under 20k those with the modest pops he got this season he will go up to about 22k. Can play the 1,2,or the 3.

The SF drives me bonkers. Most mercurial player on the team. Grades at a 10.5 because he is a tweener where his guard skills do outstrip his forward skills but which do not merit getting the nod as the 2 compared to other options. He is the proverbial girl with the curl in her hair, when he looks good he looks real good, but if he is off the scoreline turns ugly.

- and I have a pair of 22 year old guards drafted a few years back, both are developing, one is in the mid 70s one in upper 60s though the one with less TSP grades better because he is developing a solid shot. The trick now is to just bite the bullet and start giving these guys more minutes and a regular part in the rotation. It would mean phasing out my aging guards, and of taking some lumps in the next season or two, it will be touch and go because I am not wanting to relegate just so these guys can play.

Well, that's understandable. Someone trains to sell and make money, but someone has to buy and give seller a money. Game balances itself this way.
However, I guess that all of us want to have as good players as possible within their team, especially in the era, when lacks of high-class players force managers to train and enhance their pool. Therefore, the BB policy to encourage player development is probably a good way.
Also, don't forget that some kinds of training actually doesn't need a lot of effort, and may allow you to develop youngsters without sacrificing competitive games. Scrimmages are actually a free training slot (or 2, if you decide to train RB/1v1), so even the biggest enemy of training may use them to get some kind of advantage by spending few minutes every week.

You may not be a fan of training. However, just keep in mind that someone, somewhere spent time training those players you buy on the transfer market. Without managers training players, this game would be deader than a doorknob.

I think people overpay for trainers. I would just get a level 3 trainer with a 10k salary if I was going to train.
