(Muse has done it with Tansey) but that is even harder and definitely not possible to train 2 players from scratch.
Park (Superhands) seems to be managing ok in the toughest DII out there :P. He's been training at PG for his SFs every week this season, except for this week.

He forgot to change his arena prices (twice), but don't tell him that: he'd be doing very well profit-wise if he had!

seeing Osman get selected for the NT at such a young age was a real thrill. Only problem I have is training him and keep his minutes on track and stay competitive as well. Sorry for that...

Personally, and my opinion does probably count for something here, I think training is the most important thing where Osman is concerned. And of course you being competitive. I maintain that people's own teams should be their first concern.

I'm referring to EBBL Lemon not D2 however... I would note that looking at Superhands trainees they are not getting the full 48 minutes in PG position as he is training them for this season. He is doing the best anyone could from D2 being competitive, but he is not making the most of their training. They often get 45's or 47's and not the full 48 which may not seem like much difference to you but trust me, it will all add up. I repeat - to do the full 48 min sfdc 5 player lineup's to properly train 2 players at once in out of position (avoiding the 45-47 min issues) there is really only one way to do it simply.

But feel free not to take my advice or to dispute it, it's not like I know every way of doing it. However since we are talking about promoting, training and being competitive... I have enough experience to know what I am talking about. With training from scratch and having dropped from EBBL to D3 and back to EBBL within 6 seasons I know a thing or two about balancing training with finances and being competitive and promoting too.

You can train 2 players easily. He's been trying to train 3 guys which is a lot harder and depends on luck a bit. It is indeed possible still: enter MacPorridge (34618483), Wally (33808655) and Reuters (34286309).

If you train 2 players and have no cup you just make sure you have a garbage time scrimmage. Play strictly T1+starter in Game1, play strictly T2+starter in Game2, play coach pick from depth chart T1+T2 in the scrimmage (stronger trainee as backup). 50-65 minutes every week. If you try to train 3 trainees then you're forced to play them for 48 minutes and accept that, if their stamina isn't good enough, they may be subbed out in the last minutes (which is Park's situation and it is my case in the Utopia team, although my guys have enough stamina and skills not to be subbed out).

I agree that 2-3 minutes have an impact on training: even 1 extra pop in OD for guards or SF might be the difference between a very good and an exceptional player.

MacPorridge might be just good enough if trained properly to cap and if others with better potential fall short.

I'm happy to give his stats here too:
7/5/9.6+ 9/9/4 8/8/6/6 (I will have to check the sublevels as I go on, so far I used only 2 training regimes, so it's hard to say); he's a 19yo 6'9'' Superstar

Looking forward to seeing Innes fulfill his promise too. He will have bad dreams about Matti for a while ;)

sorry

i might have missed something. are you guys talking about training in general or training for the NT? His 3 trainees have 2 x superstar potential and 1 x per. allstar. So I assume you guys are talking about training players in general and not for the NT right?

I was talking about the NT, Lemon was teaching me how to train in general I think - I am doing my best to learn.

Even though his players aren't necessarily NT level, the remarks about training are still relevant. Teaching Vecx how to train though seems a little like me e-mailing Manuel Pellegrini and telling him how to coach. (He doesn't listen to me either.)

Personally I'd be happy if everyone with an English trainee mailed Vecx for a training plan, though he might not like that so much!
