This is off-topic discussion with no definite answer. What will give you greatest team weekly gross increase is very relative. If your team needs FT or stamina (which I doubt) then surely team training FT or stamina will give you that. But I'm strongly against team training. Training is for improving your players in order to a. sell them at higher price and b. improve your team. What every team should do is balance between a. and b.

Right. I agree. But I'm just curious when you look at each individual training regimen (excluding FT's, Stamina and Game Shape), what the expected gross would be for say a superior trainer. Though each individual would get less training, maybe as a group of 3, 6, 9 or as a team, you'd get more training as a relative gross number? For example, when training passing, you could train just PG or PG/SG or Team. I'm sure everyone would suggest either just PG or PG/SG, but there are times when I'd like my bigs to be incrementally better passers. If I thought that training as a team, I would have a higher gross number, it would make it easier to justify doing the team training in some of these special cases. Though I agree, 1 or 2 player training is generally the best way to go.

Ok hopefully this makes some people happy.

I just bought a player, and plan on selling on of my other trainees.

I don't know if I can discuss the one up for sale, but my others guys are more similar to keep on a training schedule if I go for all training all 5.

I just got this guy:

Weekly salary: $ 2 742

DMI: 5100
Age: 18
Height: 7'0" / 213 cm
Potential: superstar
Game Shape: average
Jump Shot: atrocious Jump Range: awful
Outside Def.: atrocious Handling: average
Driving: respectable Passing: atrocious
Inside Shot: pitiful Inside Def.: respectable
Rebounding: mediocre Shot Blocking: respectable
Stamina: awful Free Throw: average

Experience: atrocious


His jump shot should at least improve when training inside shot. Plus, I was getting sick of wondering if my 6'8 guys were being held back by height, so I wanted to make sure he was tall enough. I've also bid on another big with perennial allstar potential. Might as well make sure I get the most out of my trainer.

Does anyone else have an exceptional trainer and have any resluts? Like pops per season?

Thanks

I don't think the trainer was a bad investment. A team of star potential players fully trained would probably put you middle of the road to higher in Div 3. Plus it will help him get them there faster. I for one cant wait to hear how this approach works for you. Good Luck.
Also like Reddaddy said if you train these guys up and sale them at the end of the season get some xtra cash get a couple good draftees and buy 2 or 3 more good draftees all the sudden at the end of next season you have 5 really good trainees on your team and are moving up to div 4.

It's nice when all your guys need training in the same skill. I'll see how many trainees will work. I've usually done a solid 5 and don't feel like messing with the minutes part.

It's amazing how good the team is that is ahead of me in the standings compared to everyone else. Must've started with a great team.

The team above you has been playing for many seasons (since season 7) which is why he appears to be so much better than your team, but if he has been in div 5 for that long I am sure you can easily overtake him.

The team above you was relegated from Division IV. So you should view that team as really a Division IV team. But as long as you do well in your league, you will be promoted at the end of the season. You won't actually have to win the league just have a very good record and you will get promoted due to Division IV bots needing to be replaced.

i have an advanced trainer with 6 trainees. (5 are 19yr, 1 20yr old) i am doing guards training. most of my guards will get to proficient in all 6 main skills by the end of this season. when should i upgrade to an superior trainer? this is only my 2nd season and i have spent all of my revenues on arena thus far. i can sell my top SG (not a trainee) for a 1 mil and upgrade. but when?

I would say to keep the advanced trainer. Don't upgrade to superior, it costs a lot of money and isn't that much better. Spend the extra money you have on expanding your arena more in preparation for advancing to higher leagues.

I wouldn't upgrade yet on your trainer unless you can find a good deal on one with a low salary. As for selling your SG that would be on you man and what your plans are. If you are about done training the guards and ready to start on big men then you might sale before the end of the season so you have cash to buy another big trainee. But if you are going to train another year i don't know it is hard to say.

Your arena is already as big or bigger than most of the people in the Div 3 league I am in. But if you are selling out and have your prices about as high as you want already you might want to expand more, bigger means the possibility of more cash.

Just make sure you have the money to buy an extra trainee or 2 when you get ready to switch positions.
