I would start with 2 position training if you are able to afford to get 5 ok trainees its good. After a couple of seasons u can sell a couple of your trainees off and improve other areas of your team. In my opinion 1 position training is better if your trainees have high potential and u want to create a couple of stars for your team and possibly train for the NT. Until your established both financially and team wise i would stick to 2 position training.

Thanks. I'll stick with two posistion training, with guards. I've got some good trainees on the way. I'll need six right. One to play PG and one to play SG for each game in the week? Is it better to have 5 so you can play someone else if they don't get enough minutes.

Personally i prefer 5 as i like to get them more then 48 minutes for game shape purposes but u could do 6.

I was doing 6 when I was doing 2 position training. Just play them at backup SF if you are worried about gameshape. Plus a couple I were training were my top SF's anyway so they might even start a game at SF as well as 48mins at SG or PG

A level 4 trainer is good to start with try and get one on under 15k salary, try not to get into a bidding war for one just wait for the next available one. As for Doctor and PR possibly level 3 to start, maybe level 2 if u need to save money.

lv 1 doctor is enough IMO. Once the team has developed well you can get a higher level doctor if you feel you need one. Once you start selling out your arena and build new sections, get a level 5 PR.

i disagree id say a lv 3 is a must, with lv 1 the chance is to high to injure a key training player for a few weeks and lose much more value off this player then the difference in salarys over time.

i know i cant predict the injury will happen but i think its not worth the gamble.

That's a fair point but I've never had a doctor over level 1 mainly cause I've hardly had that many players get injuries. I think only once I've had one trainee injured for 2 weeks, other then that, non trainees have been getting injuries. At the same time, if you spend an extra 5-10k on a level 3 doc, you may end up losing more money then having a low level trainee out for 2 weeks. So IMO, not worth getting one, especially when you first begin.

well you have been very lucky then from my understanding of how this game works.

say your training a mvp center who is 18 and 7 foot 2

lv 1 doc he gets injured for 4 weeks thats potentially 4 pops lost
lv 3 doc same injury may be reduced to 2 weeks losing 2 pops
or even better the injury may not of happened at all.

4 pops could easily be 300k in value lost on such a player.

now imagine if you will the same situation but if you bought the player for a million dollars rather then drafted him.
and imagine in his first season he got injured twice both times at 4 weeks.
not only would you lose 2 thirds of the season training him, but his initial value is now completely overpayed for plus you have lost 600k+ in an economy where money is being worth less and less each season.

either situation you looking a 5-8k more a week for a lv 3 doc id gladly pay that then lose 300k in four weeks.
IMO is is definitly worth getting a lv 3 as soon as you have an 18 year old of any potential over starter.
