1.How do you see the new cross training effecting the training of NT players?

2. What are your opinions all together about the new cross training?


- Seems like it's going to slow down the development of NT-quality players. If I want my guard to get to 18 OD, I'm not happy that it's going to take 10% longer to get him there if I train Pressure, and I certainly don't give a crap that he'll be getting extra pops in Rebounding or Shot Blocking. I mean sure they're fine, but I'd rather have those points go to something for effective for the position in need. And yes, those extra random unexpected pops will inflate their high salaries even higher. A positive would be that making a true SF might be a bit easier now, and we could use a few more on the NT level.

- Gonna be real interesting to test out. I guess I kinda answered this already. At the club level I think it'll be nice to get the random pops, though it's going to make things a bit harder to plan a long-term training regimen. It'll also make buying players with real bad secondaries a bit more attractive.

My vote will go with Namssor. I respect GM-Jason and Oriolekid as managers but they have many strikes against them compared to a long time, experienced user like Namssor.


I appreciate the love, good sir. You couldn't have laid it out any better.

Unfortunately I'm going away on a bachelor party this weekend to Montreal starting tonight, so since I'll be out of the country I'm gonna post a similar fact summary and just let it ride.

Sidenote: You guys are really cluttering up this thread with useless posts, and really taking away from people like me and Jason trying to answer the questions. Please try to refrain from needlessly bashing each other or trolling. No one is going to take the time to read a 250 post thread with like 30 actual questions and answers. Anyway...

Your welcome. If you don't like my campaign tactics feel free to withdraw your nomination.

I'm fairly sure it's an intelligent enough question to warrant an answer from someone...
From what's being said here it seems that the consensus from all the candidates is that a main obsticle to success is the lack of a 18/18/18ish big man. And that such a big man is not likely to be trained in the near future since foreign owners don't want to train the prospects, and USA I.1 is too competative for an owner to take on the financial risk and train such a player.

So, let's say that, without a big dollop of luck, such big men will not be a reality for the team anytime soon. My question to the candidates is,
1) What are the ideal G / SF prototypes to cover/compliment for our existing frontcourt deficiancies?
2) If such players don't exist now, how would you encourage their training by U21 grads or others so that they exist a few seasons down the line?

1) I don't think that there is a prototype G or SF that can realistically make up for our lack of a true NT tree.
2) I think the only way to truly hold and keep a player that would suit our needs is to have a experienced manager who is getting tired of the game take a hit for the team and maintain such a player for us.

I imagine we might be able to find someone like this if we start asking around...

Now we cant have canidates going out on all night drinking binges during an election. Or are you going to use the "We are just 4 guys, in the desert, looking for strippers and cocaine" excuse?
