Yes, I know that. But if he wants to train players either to improve his team or to sell for profit he doesn't have to start from such low skills

What should I train them in and for how long?

OD & PA.

Forever.



















Well, probably 2 seasons.

Then buy 3 more trainees and do 1v1 and JS for a whole season. Maybe 2.














Step 2: ?




















Step 3: Profit!

Thanks for all the help everyone! And I know they're not great prospects, but I'm not the Yankees and can't really afford to go out and grab three 500,000 18 year olds. I got these guys for 100000, 10000, and 1000 respectively. I figure I'll keep the best of the three after a few seasons and sell the rest for AT LEAST an 100K profit. If I train them correctly I figure that that will work out for me and I can have a decent starter for D.IV and D.III maybe a few years down the road.

those guys are fine the all stars you can train up to about 40k salary which are good prospects all the way through div 3.

prolific od/ prolific passing/ then driving training to get handling and driving up and that will pop some JS too

look where everthing is at here then decide where to go from there.

Mistake at your level was buying potential
You needed skills more

I bought an 18 year old PG with 6th man pot and high skills level at $50,000
he helped me promote and just sold him for $400,000

at the same time I got a 19 year old for $68,000 with pot and some skills
now my starting PG and could sell from 500-700

trained 3rd with starter postential and he is fine starter for your level and next one up

all 2 seasons full training and you're in business

These guys are cheaper, can help you a lot more now and can be sold easier
because it will take less time to get their skills up to decent
you can also train others at same time when doing 2 pos TRain and make extra

For reference..here's the 3

I can find a great prospect for 80,000-100,000 easy. Rookies sell for so cheap that its easy to find great prospects for the right price.

I'm training Guards throughout my entire bb-career (at least until I figured out how to train properly). And I must say, these trainees aren't that bad. The two all-stars will cap at around 22 or so, the superstar maybe 1 or 2 seasons later.
By that time you can make decent money with them and keep one on your roster.

Regarding training - since you have exactly 3 trainees, I'd recommend one-position-training only (OD, PA, JR). Once you have finished these skills you switch to two-position-training and get 2 or 3 more trainees, to not waste any training-minutes.

To get an idea of how they might look like after a couple seasons, check out the most expensive players on the TL with the same potential. Those players would have about the maximum skill-set.

A couple seasons ago I bought like 3 players that looked about like this

Perennial Allstar
Jump Shot: average Jump Range: mediocre
Outside Def.: respectable Handling: respectable
Driving: average Passing: respectable

Superstar
Jump Shot: average Jump Range: awful
Outside Def.: average Handling: respectable
Driving: respectable Passing: mediocre

Allstar
Jump Shot: respectable Jump Range: inept
Outside Def.: respectable Handling: respectable
Driving: average Passing: average

I think the highest I bought one of them for was 120,000 and the I think I got the allstar potential one for 30,000-40,000, so if you are patient enough in finding a good rookie they can come cheap.
