Point Guard remains the most valuable position to train (if you are training to sell rather than keep). A low JS/JR Point Guard with a 12 OD and a 12 Passing will net you at least 700,000. That is a not that hard to train.

[...]there just can't be any enjoyment factor knowing its going to take you such a long time to advance.

What's different from yesterday ?

It's going to take a long time for new users to advance in games like BB. Actually, free falling prices help new users anyway and you know very well this kind of player will only help in low leagues in the beginning.

This player seems to underscore, more than anything, the lack of understanding most users have of an appropriate training regimen. Players with high JS and JR while having mediocre skills everywhere else are all over the transfer list. These players don't perform to the level their salary would dictate and when you add in the pitiful stamina, it's no wonder the prices for these types of players is very low.

As a new user, I'm fine with the long time advancement takes. Training is still valuable for team improvement and the transfer prices for balanced, well-trained players are still relatively high.

Crappy stamina and passing, not a great defender, can only play well in outside offenses. Sure he is a decent player but he will never be a good starter.

And in the grand scheme of online sport manager games, Buzzerbeater does not take that long to advance.

But the definition of "advance" is key here. Does it mean advance to the top level league? Well then sure, it does. That's part of the whole challenge of it

But if by advance you mean get your team significantly better, get to the point where you can compete in your league, and where players are developing at more than a snail's pace. This gives the player a nice sense of satisfaction. Here Buzzerbeater really shines.

I don't know how many online games I've played where I was stuck in the same league as quite advanced users; think a brand new US D.V team stuck in a D.III league. And where facilities to train players took huge amounts of money and huge amounts of time to develop. And where buying new players to replace the crap you were initially dealth took huge cashmoney as well, as the economies were drastically inflated.

Those games need saving.

Injured for one week, low game shape and 33 years. He will be usable in next season when he will have 34 years and his skills will start dropping. I don't deny though he would help greatly a D.V team through next league's season.

Oh, and note to his pitiful stamina.

However, I don't think this player shows the deflation anomaly of TL. Your case shows a lot of people don't pay any attention to TL because they are either out of playoffs and will return in two weeks, or are on vacation.
