Training that much OD is just pointless. He will have a player that isn't very good on offence and, the difference between 10 and 14 OD in div.IV isn't that big. Yes Pressure it's one of the slowest skills, but it's not like it takes 4 weeks to train when he is 20 or 21. It's better to have a balanced player that could attack and defend.

Pretty good. But his ID is a killer at atrocious.

Not worth digging it out either with his skill cap and height.

In this case, the player is probably going to be the starter for his team, so he should be able to do more than just defend a lot. But if the player is your 3rd trainee, and he will only play in scrimmages, then there could be nothing wrong.

not bad but its already very late in the season, get a level 4 trainer and switch to level 5 when you can. I think you should get a main trainee to train with him since this guy might be your star in D3 but his potential means that he will be an average starter in D2 if you continue to train him. my advice is keep training, see what you get in the draft then you can plan your training plan. dont have to make any purchases ;) its D4, you can play worst of tactic and crappy players (5) and still win since bots are pretty bad. cut your roster down to 10-12, for better Game shape management as well as less salary.

There is nothing wrong with a level 4 trainer. I've said all along D4 teams don't need level 5 trainers. They can't afford it and they can make more money staying with a level 4 trainer.

this guy might be your star in D3 but his potential means that he will be an average starter in D2 if you continue to train him


Star potential won't even have the skills to start in most D2 teams. He would come off the bench at best.

That depends, assuming that a star player caps at about 35k, then he could have something like

Jump Shot: tremendous Jump Range: prominent
Outside Def.: tremendous Handling: prolific
Driving: prolific Passing: sensational
Inside Shot: respectable Inside Def.: pitiful
Rebounding: respectable Shot Blocking: average
Stamina: pitiful Free Throw: awful

Sure, it's not the best player in the world, it won't get him from Div.2 from Div.1, but he could perfectly be a starter until he improves his other trainees with higher potential and still keep him from relegating.

Bare in mind that players will be capped to skill. Salary is only a guide. I think he will be capped even before the skills you mentioned above.

Starter maybe...for a low D2 team but to be competitive, star potential just won't cut it. At least not in Australia D2 anyway.

are you serious a star potential guy can hit 40k thus he would be a starter for a D2 side no problem at all unless your a backcourt team. you have tons of teams running 20-30k guards as starters and doing just fine the "australian D2" im running a 19k combo guard and a 23k SG as well as a 17k SF and im not even an inside team with a nearly 50k C and nearly 30k PF... could have gone for the top 4 if I have not tank. star potential is perfectly fine as he will promote next season, probably then his trainees will need to be competitive in D3 since they are the team's stars. instead of getting some 2-3k guards with major deficiency in one area... never will reach his potential anyways.

also if your stars cant score, who will? I dont like buying veteran to fill my team, thats why I have trained up my starters except for the SF spot and I upgraded my "star" potential C. star potential guard is perfectly fine.

Star potential is fine for D3 but once you're in D2 its starting to push it. Like I said skill cap is aligned with skills not salaries. A player might cap at 40k if he is pumped in primaries and no secondaries. If that player has secondaries, his cap would be like 30k instead.

Like I said, if you really want to compete in D2, a star potential guy is not going to cut it. There are lots of teams stronger then that. You won't be promoting to ABBL with star potential players as they simply would all cap out before being able to compete for that next level. Perhaps you might get away with it if your aim in D2 is to just "hang around" and not get demoted.
