I agree with your post here that money matters and an arena is important. However...
Luckily though the rules got adjusted this season and my trainees are actually more valuable then they used to be.
I currently have 4 homegrown players that I have added during the draft since season 20.
Luckily I put money on the draft since my first season and its paid off. In the long run it should result in 3 starters and a backup. Not bad IMO.

Three major changes that have happened this season though:
Trainees have become much more valuable and sought after.
Older players for some odd reason have become more expensive. I don't think this is a lasting phenomenon.
Trainers have become extremely expensive in comparison to last season.

I don't believe this adjustment to adding core trainees is a bad thing. I'm glad to see that this part of the game has become integral. As for previous seasons it really didn't matter that much if your goal was Div I titles. Now it matters.

Money make this game go around. If you think other wise. Then Id advise you not do arena, I advise you just train youth and play them for what ever you get at age 32-43.

I am. no expert. And my posts are, probably riddled, with grammatical errors; But please please please use senetance struchures!

Sadly that's as far as I made it before losing interest. Maybe I'll read the whole post next time if it were a tad easier to comprehend.

And yet, I make more money than you per game, have lower roster costs than you and a better roster. So tell me again what hording money is doing for you?

Since we have highjacked the thread (I apologize for initiating this thread highjacking, I just could stand to read another of Mr. Glass's ramblings without commenting), I should try to add something of value to the original post.

The addition of second teams could will likely cause player values to increase initially but then tail off over time and will likely result in more players available via FA. These managers of second teams will likely try to buy players and move up as quickly as possible though the ranks. However, these second teams are also more likely to train players at the same time than new managers, as most managers with second teams will be veterans of the game who have a better understanding for how training works. This will increase the supply of strong players in the long run and balance out FA.

Rising prices in FA can be a good thing, especially in conjunction with the over-extension tax, as these will both encourage managers to train their own players. In my opinion, this is where we get more people hooked to the game as they can build balanced players which expands line-up and tactic possibilities and makes the game more fun.

He's won far more games in V than you ever will. I find myself feeling that shame - he and I started the same season and he's put that way out of reach. Hopefully you can learn to cope with that inadequacy as I have. Good luck in III next season.

A second team is not my up too vote thing for BB, if you like that and think thats good. Then more power to you and hope you enjoy it. A BB veteran training youth players is nothing more than farming. No one said s/he had to win.

This game is about winning period. Raise prices is killing the game, yet and still they want lowers league team to slave train with trainer prices out of control. When guys from nbba and top leagues come to the forums saying a trainer going 2.5million minimum. How in hell is anyone going to train anything ? I say that in the topic not towards you personally in a vulgar manner.

They want us to train understandable, but where the comfort in the wallet,? No one was buying trainers like that. Same as for no one was doing shot blocking. If they want us to do training, ok but give team some comfort in the wallet, 1-5 season salary contracts , stop the weekly wages because they are not getting better in the craft just more expensive.

All the tax exmpt stuff just lead to buying better players, nothing more or less. Training and getting better with those youth is just a bonus. If a manager want to keep them and win that just a bonus. if they want sell one or two.. they will see big profits.

It just make better economic sense

You would rather have a million bucks in the bank than that guy on your team, right? Never mind the fact that he would like go for $1M+ on the FA market.

Training...who needs it

Are you in debt because of that? Didn't you fire that trainer because he was to expensive or am I wrong.

Come on man , You know trainers are to expensive. I find it funny your not willing to admit that you fired that trainer before the season started , like every body does. Btw I said farming when does training 1 player equal farming.

I trained my players too 1 got mvp 3times runner up, another led the league in assist 6 season in row. others lead the league in scoring season more than once with differ players. So again im no guru either. If you check my player stats theyre a lot better under me, than before. training is child play.. I said Its too much hassle, I rather buy.

I don't see the concern with the train debate.

I haven't had to replace my trainer since sometime in the middle of last season, but I've been able to find level 4 trainers with salaries around 12-14k for a very reasonable price, and that's usually good enough for a season to two. I've done almost all of my training with level 4 trainers as well.

As far as your MVPs / league leaders, congratulations on having the tallest smurf.
