Love training more than anything else but..
You can train and win, quite the juggling act.
You need to purchase trainees with skills, not 18 year olds.
They need Defensive skills to compete and not foul out
perhaps the challenge you're looking for

Thanks guys. Just put my best player, Aldo Granell, on the market. Time to re-build and start a new project.

My team is based on my own drafted trainees, atm have 5 of them. 2 pg's 30-40k salaries, polishing them this season, and 3 young prospects for sf/pf/c pozitions with very, very solid outside skills (future center already has 13 passing, and plan is to get 16:D) It is really fun to train. After some time you can combine winning and training. But sometimes its headatche, especially when u need to combine winning and off-pozition training. My goal is to have whole team of my own draftess, and hopefully ill have it very soon. This way of playing this game is really fun.

Great reply, thanks. I would also like to have a starting five of my own trained players. It would be great. It`s nice to see that other people love to train as much as I do. I`m certainly going to re-build my roster and sell my best players.

I made it to Div I while training my same 3 guys all the way
only lasted one season but those guy are just about ready now
ready to start the next faze of trainees
How about last week, I had 7 players with 48 minutes in JS
didn`t get a single JS pop and the players are
18-18-19-21-22-24-26 year old (bought 2, that`s why 7)
wait until next week
fitting them in and trying to win as well is a blast

Training is the best thing in this game, and getting your players from a scrub to level where they can actually win games is a blast...

I am on a winning streak at this moment, but also train players at the same time...=)))

Absolutely 100% agree. Throwing out a standard lineup game after game doesn't really do much for me, but when you're trying to figure out how to hide your trainees against good competition so that you can get them up to eventually play for you is a great exercise.

How about training free throws to get even more Friday arrows? :)

Thanks Dr. J

The plan was to begin rebuilding next season as you suggest. There is no point in me acquiring a couple of high potential trainees for my position of center now as they will have missed several training weeks. So, I will wait until next season to get 18 year old trainees to have the maximum possible number of training weeks available.

I have placed Granell on the market for way above his value. the reason being is that I am in no rush to sell him. So, if he doesn`t sell at that price then that`s fine he`ll keep playing for me, no problem. But, I have been playing this game long enough to know that some managers will happily pay way too much for a player so if anybody buys him at that price then that will be great too. So, if he stays I win, if he gets bought at that price I win also. Already, now that I have decided to re-build, my enthusiasm for the game has returned and I am excited about the future of my team. I honestly don`t understand it when you see teams who do no training, it`s the best part of the game.

Thanks to all of you for your comments and good luck with your teams.
