Opposing views are scattered across some threads.

The most common argument is that training has become too easy. (7590.31)(52319.3)(131961.9)(164062.2)(275294.47)

Training SF or versatile players should be a challenge. (52319.11)(56824.18)(131961.11)
This makes it very easy to train versatile, multi-skilled players (67212.3)(152135.2)(174785.24)(195460.6), leading to situations, for example, where most trained interior players also possess excellent passing abilities. (251301.7)(251301.9)
This could significantly impact (80191.3) or unfairly affect those currently training SF or versatile players (67212.5)(67212.155), as the value of players decreases when it becomes easier to train. (67212.5)(174785.14)
Some believe that BB's design intends to ensure certain skills remain exclusive to players in specific positions. (251301.9)
To have players acquire valuable secondary skills (which enhance performance), managers must make some sacrifices.(174785.24)(221027.8)

BB-Marin also mentioned that these training restrictions are intentional to increase difficulty. (273660.21)
Trade-off is the key; managers must choose between training speed and match performance. Otherwise, the game becomes too simple (boring and lacking challenge). (139901.6)(273660.21)
If you want to achieve both, it is very complex and difficult (275294.16); you need to manage your team well (288592.15) and find a balance. (160767.4)
This is the beautiful strategy part of this game. (160767.2)

The current training system allows lower-level league teams to train more easily than top-level league teams (273660.38) and benefit from it (financially and with excellent players, etc.). (278223.32)
As it is nearly impossible to maintain a strong competitive lineup while developing top-tier players, top teams gradually weaken as their players age. (273717.27)
They need to find ways to strengthen their team.
If top teams can easily train three players fully without them having to play, It benefits those teams currently in the top league to remain in the top league, as they earn a lot of money and also have training freedom. (273660.46)
They will train players round after round, with younger ones replacing older ones, defeating teams promoted from lower leagues, easily maintaining their position in the top league. (273885.35)
We shouldn't make staying in the top league too easy or comfortable. (275294.103)
BB-Marin also mentioned that forcing top teams to give up training to enhance competitiveness is a good thing.
This means lower-level teams can catch up with them through training.
Otherwise, we wouldn't see any vertical movement between divisions. (273660.39)

I seek to find a balance between removing training positions and opposing views.
The following is my solution.
(To understand more easily, you can first assume to remove training positions.)

Plan: 1+2+3+4+5

1. All players of all ages need to play at least 50 minutes (without any buffer) to receive full training.
- Force trainees to at least appear as backups in league games, to reduce the team's competitiveness.

2. Add a ranked tournament in (323509.15)
- After being eliminated from the cup or after the cup ends, teams will enter a ranked tournament instead of a scrimmage.
- Increase a (small) cost in higher-level league training: the performance in the ranked tournament will affect Fan Survey and season tickets.
After all, backups of higher-level league teams are usually stronger than those of lower-level league teams.

3. Change exhaustion to apply to all ages, not just those over 27 years old.
- Increase the cost of using 48+ tactics in ranked tournaments.

4. Changing training positions to a compromise-like solution: 1-position training become up to 3 players in two positions; 2-position training become up to 6 players in three or five positions.
- Training would roughly change like this: https://imgur.com/XqxDVOL
- Whether we should retain the original 3-position and 5-position training can be discussed.
- Rebounding, One on One, and Jump Shot are less beautiful because they introduce training positions that were not originally present.

5. Training time during "offseason" weeks is reduced to 40 minutes for full training.
- Define an "offseason" week as a week with a maximum of two matches and a scrimmage on Saturday.
- Resolving the unfairness where only two positions (originally 1-positon training) can train up to 3 players when there are only two matches, while three positions (originally 2-positions training) can only guarantee training for 4 players.
- Maintaining the enjoyment of strategizing how to achieve training goals with three positions (originally 2-positions training with 5 players).

I came up with a new proposal (325503.22) that is somewhat related to training positions.
