Well you don't really appear to be training anybody, so this seems like a "go all in" type of season. Could it be a stamina issue?

I think if we played that same game 10 times, you'd win more of them.

i'm having trouble figuring out the pecking order in the Great 8, and this game did nothing to clear up my uncertainty. or maybe we have a pretty fair degree of parity. i don't know.

what caught my eye was five players going all 48 and what that says about TKI's stamina. that said, if you merely looked at the game ratings for the players, one of my favorite data points, then Saul wins by 40. inspired lineup by magiker -- especially with Hamby, a PF, handling the ball with only 3 TOs.

TKI inverted his lineup so really only the SF was not played out of position. Given that, his defensive ratings were still pretty good ... that is impressive!

I've been "non-traditional" training for a few seasons now. Not really ever go all in, but making a good effort to solidify the arena and get into the playoffs. These loses are piling up a bit earlier than expected, so might find some trainees soon. How I define trainee is another matter... Stop normaling me when you visit my place so I can win one of these times!

How does one train in the NBBA and still compete? I have yet to find a way for that. I find that I have to throw games or give up the CUP to find minutes for them.

Yeah I'd say you can have a generational spread like SaulT said, or you could have one stud that you're rounding out and 2 scrubs that play the road and cup games (or multiply by 2 for 2pos training). Training a guard in big man skills is also possible with the occasional patient-lineupswitch gimmick. Obviously 3 18yos isn't really gonna work no matter what you do except tank

For me, my trainees were always a core part of team, so I was able to play my "trainees" while going for wins....Obviously you can't train young or underdeveloped player and use them for wins at the same time....

What others said, if you want a trainee and still want to compete, you have to buy a 23-24 year old and work from there. If you get someone younger, then they'll play a max of 48 minutes a week, and it'll likely be a scrimmage. Training youngsters in the NBBA really hurts their experience gains. Since they'll go multiple seasons without any real game experience and minutes.

The experience mechanic greatly complicates things. It's also why I'm paying more attention to BB right now, I'm able to train youngsters in Utopia and they're getting real minutes.

Thanks for the advice and comments guys. We all agree that training youngsters (and maximizing the training slots) like we used to at the lower level is out of the question here. I'm not even sure how effective it's to train players like Sault's Quinn. I'm sure Quinn is much better than my trainee Rush but I was having problem hiding him as the season went on and the competition got tougher. Often time I trained him in area that I prefer to do later in the training program simply minutes were not there or I couldn't played him in the proper position. I will be following your progress closely, Sault! :)

At this level, probably the most effective training while still be competitive is what AZ suggested ... buy near complete players and round them out to fit your needs.
