How long will the manger have to wait for that god sent 50k bid and 15k a wk trainer. I guess you never saw a counter bid on BB for such trainer

Clearly you haven't even bothered to read this thread. It is relatively easy to get an advanced (level 4) trainer with a starting salary below 15k for less than 50k.

You never heard of a over bid for such trainer. You don't want to reply to that, it would ruin your stance. I understand, but thanks for the dialogue

Skill pop are made by training force, only a few random non forced. Same goes for decreasing. skill decrease is not 100% random at old age some of it can be forced. It just how the system works, cross training work toward the minor through the major.

Decrease works through minor to the major, sometime both depending which is higher

Yes, there are some people who overbid on trainers, just like there are some people who overbid on players. So what? It is still extremely easy to get a level 4 trainer who has a starting salary below 15k by spending less than 50k. Which has been the point of this discussion and one which you completely failed to understand.

So what? Is that your answer? I should rip you to shreds for that reply with factual details of why it should not be that way. But I wont because you wont get it. Nothing but one way thinking, Omit things for your own benefits .

So, I'm not going waste my time further because some attitudes on the game are keeping new people struggling. I had my day in the sun on BB, not my turn to lead anymore. Its about the new comers. If you think it ok for them to waste money and over bid on trainers and etc. Then I guess that why a lot are getting discouraged. If you gave a damn about BB you wouldn't say "So What"

Btw I haven't failed at anything on BB mind you. But you, please tell me your failures and we can start from there . If we are going talk about understanding BB and failures. You have a lot to learn , I don't know it all but I do know that much.

Please do go ahead and attempt to rip me to shreds - it should be hilarious to read. And if you do it using "factual details" it may be the first time you've posted such.

Telling new managers that they shouldn't get an advanced trainer when they can easily do so by spending less than 50k on a trainer who has a starting salary of less then 15k because someone else might overbid occasionally is bad advice. The fact that other people overbid is really not that important - it only impacts you if you are silly enough to follow along and overbid yourself. So it really isn't a big deal to anyone with a bit of self control and awareness that other people overbid, given the abundance of advance trainers with starting salaries below 15k who can be acquired for less than 50k.

The "advice" you have given in this thread is exactly the type of advice which likely causes new players to struggle and get discouraged. Because it will result in them being unable to train their players as well as they could when it is so easy for anyone to get an advanced trainer with both a low salary and a low bid. Instead you've recommended they get a level 3 (competent) by spending 100-150k. Talking about a discouraging result for a new player - they just way overbid on a getting an inferior trainer. If you are bidding on a level 3 trainer, you should be spending much less than 100k on the bid and getting someone with a salary below 10k. Actually, anyone spending more than the opening 1k bid on a level 3 trainer is overbidding.

I happily learn more about BB most days. Sadly, I've been reading your posts for years and haven't really learned anything from them, nor have I seen any evidence (no, I don't believe your claims about having been an NBBA team) that you have ever been better than a DIV team in the US - not an accomplishment in my opinion. But then again, everyone can set their own goals in this game and if being a low level team which competes against bots to build a fictitious bank account is your goal, that is fine. I'd be somewhat surprised if it is a common goal of most people who join the game however, so giving them advice to land them in your situation is quite likely to frustrate new players.

Telling new managers that they shouldn't get an advanced trainer when they can easily do so by spending less than 50k on a trainer who has a starting salary of less then 15k because someone else might overbid occasionally is bad advice.

That's true. But what kind of advice is it telling them that the trainer they get will make any difference? What kind of advice is it telling them that training as it is set up now makes good sense? Not picking on you or anyone in particular, just suggesting there is a lot more to it than the price of a trainer.
