This means that I wont be training my very dissapointing draft pick Nori anymore. If anyone has a training slot open I would love him to be trained and I am happy to list him for $1. I don't want money, I want him trained. If there was any legal way in the game to pay to have him trained I would.

Nori Satoh (27821769)
Point Guard
Owner: Kyoto Shogun
Weekly salary: $ 2 175
Age: 18
Height: 6'5" / 196 cm
Potential: perennial allstar
Game Shape: strong
Jump Shot: mediocre Jump Range: mediocre
Outside Def.: inept ↑ Handling: respectable
Driving: average Passing: mediocre
Inside Shot: awful Inside Def.: mediocre
Rebounding: inept Shot Blocking: mediocre
Stamina: awful Free Throw: atrocious

GMs or anyone: Is it allowed in the rules to sell a player and agree to buy him back at the end of the season for an agreed price? What if I said I guaranteed to buy him back for say $500,000 at the end of the season if certain training targets were made such as OD=10?

Hey...Nishimura doesn't look as bad as he is.....1st...He is a NT player for this season....seacond...he has had 2 1 position ID trainings on that Prolific....if you get him....give him an ID training and get that up to sensational. 3rd....His IS is close too...so if you have the chance, give him some 1 on 1 F's...
I think you are getting him at a perfect time...he has high sub-levels on all his skills. he should pop like popcorn. Also...remember this...Wolph thought Yasujiro was a waste of money for swoosh to buy him...and look at him..
Jump Shot: prominent Jump Range: prominent
Outside Def.: respectable Handling: average

Inside Shot: wondrous Inside Def.: marvelous
Rebounding: tremendous Shot Blocking: strong


I think this is what he could look like by the age of 24(maybe 24 and a half)
That is a 100 TSP beast....and then just give him OD/passing/Id until 26 and he will be a monster.

Think of it like this...Right now he is a block of ice...now you have to sculpture him into the player he needs to be.

Let me put it this way, I bought a guy with 11 more TSP for 600k....

NT minutes is a huge plus.....and he bought a player he drafted, what is wrong with that? he also had over 5 million, so now he has 4.1 million...How I look at it...Japanese MVPs are rare. I still think the 400K I spent on Asano was the best I ever spent.

I know his ability to compete in the JBBL just took a serious hit. 900k don't grow on trees.

Are you kidding me...You have a BOT on your side, he is going to be a playoff team, plain and simple. I can also tell you this, ..If I were to draft a Nippon MVP player(even with a hole) I would do what Malice is doing...Training him...You drafted one and sold him for a player from USA, who most likely never make the NT team of the USA. Like I said...Just like when Swoosh bought Yasujiro for 700K...you can't pass up a HOF Japanese player.
So my conclusion is this...Now Kyoto gets to watch his player compete against the best in Asia every Monday. That is a pretty cool thing.
And How is the NT page a joke? Please explain.

Yeah, sorry about that. Asano and those players are all older now and this is the U-21 thread. I didn't think it was right of me talking about my own player who is 25 here.

Thanks that makes things much clearer.

A Wolph you are correct, we do get ripped off on the prices of Nippon players but if we want to help the NTs it is what we must do.

There has been a lot of criticism of the Skillsets of both Sonada & Kouzuki. Fair criticism. But I didn't train them, both were capped when bought. Now I have the chance with my own player to do it. MVP potential and my draft pick. Seems worth the extra cost to me.

Sonada has just 71 TSP but was a NT standout.
Kouzuki has also just 71 but was a NT contributor.
Ichiro Nishimura has 65 already at age 21. He should pass both of them this season. It will take a while to catch their primaries especially as he will have inside & outside training but within 2 seasons he will be much better than either ever was. At age 24 I imagine him being ready for NT. This season I will try to keep his shape up for the U21 team & he will get training on his primaries and well as some 1on1F.

My other trainees:
Kawaida 98 TSP (allstar potential & capped out early about age 22-3)
Konoe 97 TSP (also allstar potential & capped early)
Kawagichi 107 TSP at age 23 & still training.
Shidehara 82 TSP at age 21 coming from a very low starting salary.
