There needs to be balance and NT.21 NT training should be done to benefit the team training them long term.

Lots of people in the past almost exclusively used covert 2nd teams to train their NT players. I hated this about NT system. Probably its still going on but I haven'T been around so I can't say. Even Japan has farm-fresh players on its NT. Guys were caught redhanded double-teaming SPECIFICALLY to boost our NT. They closed the accounts and made the products FAs....and those players are still in the NT system. They do this globally. All the cheater has to do is sign up again and they are right back at it plus the fruits of their labor not lost.

Pretty sure this is merely speculation on your part. It was then, it still is. Whilst I am quite sure that people game the system, being specific about Japan isn't something you *know* 100%.

I will join the ranks with MMM as a team devoted only to NT training. Looks like YC already is going that route.

Bigs Please!!!! Really lacking there. Thanks,

My old team has gone as far as it can. I have come so close to dropping the game and even had weeks where I didn't log in, missed training, didn't set scrimmages or ran them with default team etc. Last time I bought or sold a player was season 25 over a year ago in real time. Wow. But now I am ready for a fresh start. I plan to basically clear out 90% of my team over the next week and start a new training team.

I have:

Ko Maruya (34868954)
Point Guard
Weekly salary: $ 3 261
Role: draws a paycheck
(BuzzerBeta)
DMI: 12700
Age: 18
Height: 6'4" / 193 cm
Potential: superstar
Game Shape: respectable
Jump Shot: respectable Jump Range: pitiful
Outside Def.: respectable Handling: respectable
Driving: pitiful Passing: respectable
Inside Shot: inept Inside Def.: atrocious
Rebounding: average Shot Blocking: atrocious
Stamina: average Free Throw: strong

Great age and the potential to play both U21 and NT but some serious skill holes means he can only ever be a PG.

Tetsuo Soma (34868994)
Shooting Guard
Weekly salary: $ 3 511
Role: draws a paycheck
(BuzzerBeta)
DMI: 10600
Age: 19
Height: 6'3" / 190 cm
Potential: star
Game Shape: respectable
Jump Shot: respectable Jump Range: respectable
Outside Def.: average Handling: average
Driving: awful Passing: awful
Inside Shot: pitiful Inside Def.: mediocre
Rebounding: inept Shot Blocking: atrocious
Stamina: inept Free Throw: pitiful

I am sure most of you would say with that potential he is not worth training but I just like him for some reason and I think if I train him carefully he can be a fine U21 player and JBBL backup. Also your 3rd trainee often misses training so good to not be too atached to him and if I draft a stud at the end of this season I can easily drop him.

So I need a good 2nd trainee. Several on the list right now but none are amazing.

Shuhei Sarumara (34868952) 19 low potential.
Kohei Ekiguchi (34049212) 19 tall and bad skills but MVP.
Noboru Tsukamoto (34049083) 19 and only superstar when I would really like MVP + but has been well trained so far.

I have put a bid on Noboru, what do you all think?

Yes I agree with what you have said. Top priority is OD so he doesn't foul out of games so his training can be smooth. I will probably just hit that for half a season and do 1 on 1 when it mucks up.
