Why should managers be punished for creating good trainees and wanting to become competitive?
Because BB does not allow you to have both match competitiveness and train 2 to 3 excellent players in higher-level leagues, it would be too easy to stay in higher-level leagues that way.

You're wrong, BB does allow training and match competitiveness, but you have to invest enough time to get your trainees to that position. You should not be punished for improving your players to a level that they're ready to compete at the top level.
Okay, what I said wasn't quite right, and it seems like I didn't answer your question.
Please let me answer again.
BB hopes to let top league teams reduce the number of outstanding players trained (to replace aging players) in order to enhance match competitiveness.
Otherwise, teams could more easily overcome the generational succession and stay in the top league.
BB also hopes to let top league teams reduce the increase in on-field strength due to training in order to enhance match competitiveness.
Otherwise, teams behind will struggle to catch up in terms of on-field strength, leading to a situation where the strong remain strong in the short term (relative to generational succession).
The situation you mentioned is probably the latter.
I hope I have answered your question.

The following are some details.
Excluding selling trained players, the players being trained are probably either current main players or future main players.
- First, discuss training only the current main players.
(I won't discuss the situation where the team has only 5 main players, as the conclusion would be similar.)
(Suppose there are enough main players and no issues with players being out of position.)
In the current training system, some people might be concerned that training three players with the 48+ lineup will affect on-field strength, and therefore choose to train only two main players.
In the new training system, some people might choose the new method with no penalties.
Training 3 players at 95% and 2 players at 100%.
Clearly, the increase in on-field strength due to training will be greater when training 3 players with the new method that has no penalties compared to training 2 players with 1-position training.
- Next, discuss training only the future main players.
Looking at just the starting players, the on-field strength in various situations is roughly as follows:
New method with no penalties, training 2 players > 1-position training, training 2 players ≈ New method with no penalties, training 3 players > 1-position training, training 3 players.
People who originally chose 1-position training to train 2 players, if they switch to the new method with no penalties to train 3 players, will end up training one more player than before.
I won't discuss the situation with a mix of current and future main players, as it should yield similar results.
