I believe it is better to train guards and SF's. Partially because it tends to be MUCH cheaper because of their salaries, but also because you can buy tons of bigs on the TL that are suitable (not the case with guards). Lastly, I think they are simply more fun to train because you get to train more than just 3 skills haha
I personally like training a SF (even though I train Big Men), and think training a SF is the best way to go. There's just a few things you gotta follow....potential: for a SF you need very high potential to get a SF to where you need/want him to be. I like PAS (perrenial allstar) potential but more then likely you'd want a Superstar guy in it. skills: can't have one jacked up skill at all, and if a skill is jacked up, it probably has to be one of the skills easier to train. for me, a hole in RB, JS or DR/HA is easy to fix. but skills like OD and ID are very hard to fix sometimes to where they can be efficient in that level. I usually go for a 5/5 guy to begin with at SF, not too low though. time: you'd need to have a lot of patience training a 6'5'' to 6'6'' SF. It takes sometimes longer then others to train the players. hope this helps btw if anybody wants to train a big man, a Big Man with good secondaries are juicy on the TL and can give you a lot of dough.
I've read that it is cheaper to get good bigs on the TL than it is to get good guards. Does that mean that it is better to train guards vs bigs if you had the choice? Obviously I would train a HOF big over a benchwarmer guard. But assuming these things were the same, what would you choose to train? And why is it people say good guards are worth more on the TL while bigs are a dime a dozen?Thanks!
