Has prominent in the inside skills and average secondaries.

My player had strong/proficient inside skills and higher secondaries and sold for almost double.

Secondaries are more expensive on young players because they are harder to train up!

Thats right. What you are impliying has no meaning to the situation this thread is about. Im tired of trying to explain that to you. Someone asked for some simple advice and you and naker have turned it into an attack on the TPE and diluted the advice the player was given. I am not comparing a player with 1 high skill to a well rounded player, but a player with more time spent on primaries than secondaries.

Now stop wasting both our time. Good day to you...

You can pretty much insert the same reply I just gave with the following exceptions...

That is nowhere near enough infomation to prove your point. Even though the point you are trying to prove has nothing to do with what I said..

My player had strong/proficient inside skills and higher secondaries and sold for almost double.

I am not comparing a player with the same primaries. I am comparing a player with higher primaries! You trained over half a season of guard skills which means trained the way I said, there would be at least 2-3 pops in each of his primary skills. I had a quick look and I will show you an example of untouched secondaries and high primaries...

Now this player is even a year older and going for more than your guy. Even though you could add another season to your player who sold for less and would have higher primaries, the players on the market see high primaries and spend up accordingly. The player the discussion is about (if you remember there was one!) could be as good (probably even better) in 1 season as a 19 year old, so you can almost double the price that this player is selling for. And there is still nearly 2 hours of bidding to go...

Secondaries are more expensive on young players because they are harder to train up!

Secondaries are almost (I said almost) irrelivant to the sale price of a young tall because they are harder to train. The time spent training secondaries reduces the level of primaries, which just like potential, induces people to overpay for allround lesser players. This is especially relivant to a player in topic as he doesnt have the best level to start with.

Good day to you also!

Triple tremendous is excellent skills though which is why he is selling for so high.
And he has an extra season of training compared to my 19 year old.
If I had continued training the 19 year old he would have had triple sensational in the inside skills.
And a triple sensational with higher secondaries would have sold for more than a triple tremendous with no secondaries.

That is an example of player that has high primaries and terrible secondaries. The fact his age is 20 and a season more training makes him less valuable then your player, considering your player would have more inside skills, but still sold for more.

It isn't about whether or not he would sell for more if he had higher secondaries than someone with the same primaries. Of course he would! It is about a 19 year old with good secondaries selling for less than a player with more primaries and less secondaries! How many times do I have to repeat that?!

Okay so show me a 19 year old with higher primaries and no secondaries that sells for over 2 million.
You showed a 20 year old with far higher primaries. And he only sold for a little bit more than my player even though the had 5 pops extra on all primaries.

There are so many people that train Big men and just do IS/ID/Rebounding and then repeat. Consequently there are hundreds of Big men on the market at all times that have high salary, and that all look the same.
However, when a manager, such as myself, decides to train secondary skills on a big man, the player sticks out on the market, and is unique and has lower salary and more skills, and consequently sells for more.

A 50k center with good secondary skills is going to sell for a lot more than a 75k center with bad secondary skills.
Hence, secondary skills will sell for more, even if it means less primary skills.

You are repeating yourself again (and now adding the opinions of direwolf, which is true, however in the context of this dicussion is completely irrelivant to the subject once again) and I have had enough of repeating myself trying to explain. You don't even know what you are trying to prove to me anymore, even though I have reminded you over and over...

The point to prove was that training secondaries is more valuable than training just primaries.
If you do not understand that then feel free to never train secondaries if you wish, but you will lose out on value.

Then the other argument you had was saying that the TPE could not be wrong. And many people in this thread have said that you are wrong about that and the TPE is very flawed.

You just continue to ignore solid evidence.

Shld i train driving or passing or handling first? which order.
