Its for the glory. You dont gain anything, but i love the fact that i have 2 players on my NT :)

Don't they gain experience?

Don't they gain experience?

nothing to talk about, this gain is very low

Why should the team become weaker? You can use them in your league games without any problem, even if they're on the NT roster.

ok.I thought mistankly that is not possible.Thanks.

Do the minutes played in the NT games count towards the players weekly minutes?

No.

I believe it makes your team weaker in the long run as you need to focus training on this player requiring sometimes negative trade-offs with the team interest. But this is part of the game and a choice you can make.

Well 1 of my NT players is 6'3 PF, that he trained 2 seasons as big man, but he has very good outside skills Soon i will sell him to some1 else, that (i hope) is training guards. An other 2 seasons guard training and we have the starting SF for the NT for long time. You always have the choice.

Now for example i am coming from a small country, and every player is important for us, so every day i am checking the market for talented Cypriot bigs, to train. Nothing wrong with that, i help my team and i help my NT too.

& @ JohnnyB:

The majority of BB managers are coming from countries such as Spain, Italy, Poland, USA. In these countries there are 20 to 50 times more teams than in yours. As a consequence the density of talent is such that you cannot get your player in the NT without extremely focused use of resources. What is best to create a very skillful single player is not necessarily the best for the ligue team. This concern at least 2 areas:

1) Training (extensive use of one-position training; design of plan according to the needs of a single player)

2) Financial resources (distribution of salary vs total team performance; value creation through training)

Here an extreme example of a focused team. The player has the second highest salary in the Italian National Team which currently leading the BB world ranking (4211248). He is earning a salary about twice as high than his other 16 team mates in total. I agree, it's extreme and it is chosen to be didactic ;-)

I am not saying that you can not have success with your team while developing players for the NT. I just say it slows your team down and this effect is more and more important as countries are bigger.
