Regarding the draftees, could we have "BB Academic" or something similar?
Instead of those 18 or 19-year-old draftees, we could have some 16yo draftees. Then we can draft them and send them to BB Academic. Until 18 or 19-year-old, they can start play BB games.
BB Academic is owned by BB, but we can set up different training and review their progress to improve their initial skills / potential. All 16 years old players have atrocious skills at all categories first, then we spend the scouting points and assign training sessions. After 2 years, they are ready for call-up by BB managers.
The difference is they do not need 48 mins playing minutes for training, no game shape stuff, and we dont know their progress until we spend scouting points to review their progress.
