I'm in for some Utopia goodness. Just not sure if I want to try to actually start off aiming for a Princeton tactic focused team without all the early futzing about, or try to find some other strategy that's not as utilized and see what I can pull off with it.

I'm signing up. Going to take it slow and try to train a mostly home grown team. Actually going to try something out with buying a high salary world renowned trainer but doing 2 position training because I'm actually curious to see if it's even that much slower than an advanced trainer with one position training.

Tactics wise, I'm going to try to run a Princeton team myself too while playing small ball. Run a 1-3-1 with 2 amazing centers with OD and SB.

Most likely ill have to train the OD/SB bigs myself.

I think we discussed this somewhat on the offsite some time back, but I think that the level 7 + 2 position training is a horrible inefficiency - and this, mind you, coming from a guy that did a metric shitton of two position training for the first four or five seasons or so of my BB career. But I suppose Utopia would be the ideal place (see what I did there?) to test that out.

Yea, that's one thing I'm worried about - the cost of a trainer is going to skyrocket in April. I really hope they expand the number of trainers on the market to offset it.

See, while I think it would be inefficient, we don't have any real info on how inefficient it is, if any. In my view, if you could train 6 guys to the efficiency of 95% of single position training with an advanced trainer then I think it's actually a good idea.

It really all depends on what your goal are though. For a team trying to be completely home grown it could be a good idea to get the most amount of players the most training.

I am actually considering a nice long extensive test to see the training speeds of a level one trainer. At least until trainers become affordable again

Aim for 5. Trust me. ;)

I'm probably going to be two positioning with a level 4 so we can certainly compare notes on how it turns out, though I'll probably be aiming for lower potential. The other thing to keep in mind is that we'll all be starting from scratch, so you'll need to have enough money to pick up the 5-6 trainees plus the trainer plus afford his salary (and take care of the arena building and stuff). Of course, I respect that you're trying to do something different and don't mean to sound like I'm trying to talk you out of it.
