Some people check all the players on the TL every week. I just look at the Nippon players & note down any good ones. Any NT level player that has been up for sale over the last 6+ seasons I have seen. So I imagive I have a better knowledge of their skills than anyone but LA-Izaman, Swoosh, BB-King & maybe Wolph.
Any time Hideki Ochi does not play I understand, there are better combo guards, he is only good if you want to play LI, LP or patient and want a SG that can defend, score inside and pass to the bigs. I have
never complained/questioned why he does not play I understand.
Takayoshi Kishita is even more extreme. Without publically airing his skills he is super specialised and really amazing in certain strategise and very limited in others. Some weeks he is useful other weeks he is a liability even for me at lower than NT level. He is a unique player I have looked on the TL for similar players many times and they are rare. I
never complain/question if he does or does not play.
Takayoshi Kawagichi was almost never played by BBKing who prefered plyers with much worse secondaries but since took over he has joined Yasuyoshi Honda, Haruki Fujii & Naoya Ueda as regular rotation players. Again he would be bad in certain strategies & is slightly behind the others so his playing does depend a bit on GS.
Since BBking left I have never questioned/complained as he has been playing when he deserved to & suited the strategies and not playing when he didn't deserve it.
As far as the bigs go. I am led to believe (cause he hasn't been sold) thatK-Mart has amazing secondaries. Awesome. He should be in every week as long as his GS is decent. Kouzo Yasujiro is the future of the team he should always be playing too given good GS. But Eita has some incredible secondaries as well. I made my team horrible last season to train his OD & PA up a but but they train slowly as you know in 24yo 6'11" guys. This season I was told he needs more RE & ID so guess what I have been doing?
I try to find and decent salary PFs with his level of secondaries on the TL. That tells me if he is a common player or not. Guys with triple stupendous + primaries are a dime a dozen there are 10 for sale right now. Eita is not.
No results found. Try a less restrictive search.
Backing up what Wolph said check out Enrique Cabra
(13276457) Spanish NT player with his wondrous PA & prolific + 1on1 skills now that is an amazing player. That is the secondaries the big nations have.
So often when BBKing was the coach I could have bought the players he was playing on the NT if I had wanted to as they were monoskilled, old, had no future & were selling very cheaply, often for $2-400,000 because everyone in the BBworld could see that they were nothing special. But I didn't because they were not good players & I could see that mine were better. Then I watch these lesser players play while my guys sat. He did the same to Yuusuke Tsunami. He played worse players & the team lost.
