I've been training almost all my seasons in the game(plus all the seasons in Utopia).
This season is the first ever i gave JR training.
I was SHOCKED to see my 24y old, 6'7" trainee, getting THREE pop ups in FOUR JR sessions, with two OD sessions in between.
That is a confirmed >0,50 in JR, per session, at 24y and at SF height!!!!!

If it's way behind the other skills, it can be quick. The elastic effect appears very heavy on JR - I have a level 6 trainer and my 20 year old 6'1" guy took 5 weeks of full training to go from 16 to 17 JR.

I forgot to mention, i have level 4 trainer in that guy's team.
His JR was one below JS before the first pop up, two up now.
It was 8 below OD though.
I am certain it's got something to do with the elastic effect too, but that much?

p.s 20year old, 17JR...and his daughter's name is Riley by any chance?

Everyone, IMO, errors in the way of punting JR and SB for sooo long.... and they are lower salary cost, free in some formulas.

Cap formulas are actually very clear. JR takes (used to take) more cap than any other outside skill for Cs, about 5 times more than PA and JS is the second highest (and usually the main culprit about gimped Cs salary-wise or skill-wise) about 3 times more than PA.

JR had a higher Cap weight than OD for SG. JR had nearly the same Cap weight than OD and higher than IS and ID for SFs.

It's got to be that much. All three of my 20 year olds have had the same pretty consistent slowdown in JR as the weeks go on, beyond what I had anticipated. Originally I had hoped to have all three at or very close to 20 by the end of this season, but now I'm not sure I can even hit 19 and one of the three may not make 18. We live and learn, or we refuse to learn and refuse to grow, I guess.

True

I think we all agree we'd rather have the extra 40 skill points build!!!!

No I don't agree with this statement.
100 TSP might be extremely salary efficient, while the 140 will definitely cost you a lot more (in salary, without getting in the training discussion).

Also skills are not equal and their cap weight is not representative of their usefulness. In short this PG has 100 TSP:

You can see the rating assigned by buzzer-manager yourself.

This is the cap table. As you can see your 5 to 45 numbers are not necessarily correct.
.........JS.........JR......OD .....HA......DR......PA......IS.........ID.......RB..........SB
PG....18%....28%....30%....23%....11%...50%....5%......5%....20%......3%
SG....45%....41%....40%......6%.....6%.....7%.....6%....10%....25%......3%
SF....60%....23%....30%......5%.....5%.....3%....10%....20%....35%.....3%

So, I'm just wondering, how high was their JR in relation to the rest of their skills? Are we talking a difference of 8-10 or 4-5, and was it that JR was much higher than every skill or just a few skills?
