The problem I am highlighting though is the 200K and 70K guys had they salaries bloat (they are both well-balanced) from the big-men related skills... and over the 3-4 season of training them, I could not add good guards because of this.

guard skills bloat slower, so you could adopt a 3-5 year training plan, but still be competitive, save more money, and then buy cheap big men as fillers closer to the playoffs.

You just wrote out the solution to your own problem. Train all of the guard skills first, with the possible exception of JS, and train the C skills at the end. One he changes his BP to C/PF, all the guard skills (except JS) become free.

by the way, for that 17k guy... "most similar have been selling for around $ 200 000 to $ 250 000".. not the best ROI.

I think we both know he'll sell for much more than that.

makes sense... but then you will need to buy other players to play at C and PF... and support those salaries to be competitive, or tank completely...

Ugh. Why can't it just be easier.

Honestly, the developers of this game did a wonderful job making it as challenging as it is, while still making it additively entertaining. I wish I had gotten started much earlier in its existence.

Yes, and you can sell all of your PGs to make that happen, since you will be training bigs there for a couple of seasons. Stop acting like this is rocket science ;)

I am training balanced big men. Still in the early stages but my goal is

C:

JS:8/9 JR:7
OD:7 HA:8/9
DV:9 PA:8
IS:15 ID: 14
RB: 14 SB:9

PF:
JS: 11/12 JR:8/9
OD:10 HA: 9
DV: 10 PA: 8
IS: 13/14 ID: 13
RB: 13 SB: 5

C will take about 2-3 seasons and PF will take 3-4. Also working on SF (IS will be a little lower than ideal but the rest will be solid and balanced), but I was of the same opinion, bigmen with secondaries are almost impossible to find on the TL and when they are available they are crazy expensive. So I am aiming to promote to D.II in about three seasons otherwise I will have trouble affording these guys ($65-70 k each I am estimating) plus a decent backcourt.

Edit: I think I was a little optimistic in my time frames. More like C will take the next 3 seasons and the PF will take the next 4-5 (same as the SF)

That second guy will be a beast, and cheaper than the first by around 15-20k. And yeah, depending on starting skills, 5 seasons is a good estimate.

Yeah maybe more ID would help and if I am in D.II by then I might do that since I will be able to absorb the extra salary. But after three seasons of training big man primaries I am planning on going back to finish up the secondaries for the PF and SF. Plus the C is the oldest prospect so he will be training very slow at that point if I go back to beef up his secondaries some more (although he is already there more or less there with 7/7/6/7/7/7 for secondaries). I was going to do some one-on-one at the beginning of next season and focussing on OD and maybe PA for the rest of this season.

Anyways, we'll see how it plays out, I don't keep track of sublevels so he may pop sooner than CP predicts in some of these secondaries.

Just a pair of balance big men I'm training I guess. Feel free to comment.

Are you doing mostly guard skills first? And is the second guy the American kid?

Yep, am working guard skills for the rest of this season before moving inside. And yep that's Gunn.
