hey mate.
Have you scouted the top teams in the top countries? The ones that have played for 5-6-7 seasons? Look at their team rating, you will see that they are all high.
You read the forums well it seems, but miss the main thing...
If you train your trainees well, they will sell well. With the money you can buy players for positions that you need and that you cant train. I think you are wrong with the NBA or other basketball leagues, when it comes to training.
They barely train. And the few hours that they do train, I am sure they cant train all the skills they need to play. So even the best teams in the NBA will only train the things in which the trainer feels they need to become better.
Secondly, we start training players at the age off 18. I haven´t seen any players in the NBA below 22 or 23 that really do make a difference for their team. (off course there are always exceptions). I cant see a FUN way to get readily made players and to minimalise the training. Or make it easier to train your players. That is what makes this game so much fun for me. See your players grow in skill and build a team and tactics for the future.
In this game your players will be very very good and multi talented once they are 22 or 23. You can than swap training if you like.
And my last note is, many players in the NBA are one sided players. I dont see Chris Bosh or Shaquil O´Neal do well as point guard. I also don´t think Nash or Bibby would pull many rebounds as Centers. Simply because they are not equipped for those positions... Oh to make it even more extreme, the Knicks and the Warriors always run and gun. (or what ever it is called, they always shoot as much as they can). Their team is build around that principle. Here you can see again, that it is hard and the trainers decision to get more balanced players or concentrate more on extreme play styles...
