BuzzerBeater Forums

Hello, everyone. I guess this has been discussed somewhere else, but I can't seem to find in the Forums, so I ask for advice here:

I have a capped MVP with a very nice Skill Points total (125+) with an Exceptional (lvl 6) Trainer to go. He is 25 years-old and 6 feet tall. One of its skills is one-position skill at level 17. In your experience, do you know approximately how many weeks would it take to pop that skill to lvl 18?

I have heard 2 seasons, or 28 weeks, but I don't know if that number is accurate. Nor do I know if that number was experienced popping, say, a lvl 11 to 12 skill on a capped player (not that I know if there is actually a difference between such midlevel pop to my high level pop).

I am trying to design my strategy for this and next couple of seasons, and since I am a heavy trainer I would love some input for this question, as I decide if I give it a try with my PG (NT player), or if I go for new furniture on my Cs and PFs.

Any comment (or reference to already discussed threads) would be helpful. Thanks!

thank you, guys, for the input and briefly letting me brainpick your experiences.

i think i... will go for it with Lozano (my player in question). i hope i can get that skill to lvl 19 (2 pops away right now). i already have a cheap Exceptional trainer (less than 25k salary), so i have a safe economic flow for at least 3 seasons in that matter. also, i can train draftees and sell them, if i need to recycle the trainer or face some unexpected issue. also, it would not hurt me to buy a 4 million arena. ;)

my player already plays NT, but is not a truely "elite" NT. foreing NT hall-of-famer PGs should eat him with those 5, 6 or more extra pops.

thank you, and good night!
