Actually in your calculations you changed the IS from 2 to 6.5 without ever training it. So I presumed you had mistakenly put 2 instead of 6.5 which you base the rest of your training program on.
Now, I don't have the original calcs with me but it looks like I used the wrong initial level of IS. There is just a problem with people who talk a lot without the actual knowledge of things. The problem is that Inside Shot is the most irrelevant starting skill in the entire build. In fact
IS is completely irrelevant since it will pop 3 times in 4 weeks at 23. The lower it is the more manageable the salary will be and if it is particularly low (1 or 2) you can train a Superstar by never touching it and punting it instead.
So if you understand that, you'd never want IS to be higher than 5 unless you have an HoF.
In any case, to show you how irrelevant IS is and that your point is very weak, I redid the entire thing, so here you go: 18yo, 6'10, HoF potential (like the guy linked), level 4 trainer, starting with 7.5/6.5/6.5 6.5/6.5/6.5 2.0/6.5/6.5/6.5.
10x 1v1 guards ->
9x 1v1 forwards -> 9x OD -> 7x PA -> 7xJR (note 42 weeks=3 seasons, at this point he's still 20yo)
Now he's 13.2/10.0/11.0 14.3/14.6/12.1 4.9/7.1/6.5/6.5
ISx3 -> SBx37 -> IDx18 -> RBx43 (that's 101 weeks, he will have just turned 28 a few weeks before)
Now he's 13.4/10.0/11.0 14.3/14.6/12.1 9.4/17.2/17.1/17.1
You need to round ST and FT (assuming you'd rather not get a higher level/fitness trainer and train it occasionally)
On this type of builds, where you have nowhere near the knowledge as other managers who are actually working on them and discussing among themselves about them (like some of the Germans and myself), a little more humility and less know-it-all attitude, which is always in full glorious display with you, would work wonders.
I put in italic the huge changes you need to make compared to starting at 6.5 (which finishes probably half a season earlier). You're welcome.
Adding everything as 6.5 rather than 6 and 7.5 rather than 7 is indeed factoring in a 66 tsp. Not as you say 57 which if you are going to base your training predictions on, you are going to have to assume. Things are not as straightforward as you presume.
Never found someone before who claimed that a 61 TSP (the starting skills you
assumed) trainee could actually have 66 TSP including sublevels. Let's just accept you're one of a kind and agree that the rest of us, average non EBBL chaps, should follow common sense and simple math instead, like everyone else in the world, ok? :)
I have never seen a player you speak of in England. So anyone worth their training salt would be paying extremely big bucks for a potential 9+ player with that many tsp.
You have never seen it because you never looked. How many people are interested in Superstar big men with 1 starting IS? Yeah, exactly. I applaud you and all those managers who look for HoF to splash their 2+ million. I'm poor and building my arena, so I can't be as generous!
But you are not in the EBBL so you cant be that...
I haven't been around 20-21 seasons without winning anything either. In 15-16 seasons we will see if that holds true for me too or if I will end up with 0 trophies as well. It's quite the irony for someone to have been in the game for so long and with so little to show for it, to be patronizing others and taking stabs at other people.
Normally you'd expect that if you stick around long enough your moment will come. If anything all the others who started with you will quit and you'll win by having an edge on everyone else! ;)
