Yeah the staff market is as crazy as the player TL. Do you find a big boost with level 6+ trainer? I started playing this game with a level 4 and then progressed to a lvl5. But after training with a lvl 5 for a few seasons, I found the gain was too minimal. Went back to lvl4 and stuck with that until last season. I purchased a lvl6 (and paid a lot for him too) but my experience thus far is somewhat disappointing. :( I personally don't think it's worth it.

With 4 players, are you training 2 position or just rotating guys each week? From Montenegro and Ladner's minutes, I'm guessing you are doing mostly 2 positions. Is that right?

It's so hard to tell! I wish there was more solid data on training effects, kind of like hattrick.

I have found my players get too old too soon to reach the upper limits. So that's why I went for a level 6 trainer.

Yes, I'm training both PG/SG slots and spreading minutes to 5 players (which can be tricky).

Ron Ladner, my best player has reached 12-15 skill levels in all his guard skills - while training 4-5 guard candidates. That's not too bad, I just hoped for more.

Though I don't do too much 2-position training (except for the skills where I can't do single position training), what you described seems to be the consensus with 2 position training. You can build a very good team fast but it can be difficult to build elite players because you simply don't have the time to max out the players' potential.

Have you considered giving Ladner and Montenegro single position training for may this season and next? Higgins is 27 now and I'm planning to give him full training to at least end of next season. I hope those last few pops will elevate him from a good players to something special.

Well, I got a lesson tonight in overlooking an 0-8 team's potential. Sure didn't think I could lose that even with my 2nd-stringers. Congrats, WWE.

Thanks!

I'm curious how far I can go, but I'm sure I won't be winning it!

Best of luck to everyone here in the coming season. I'm sure I will run into some you soon in DII (especially Pyramid of Success and Seaslugs).

The draftees are here ... how was everyone picks? I drafted a decent guy with nice starting skills ... the problem he has 1 POT. Yike!

Jump Shot: average Jump Range: inept
Outside Def.: respectable Handling: respectable
Driving: respectable Passing: respectable
Inside Shot: respectable Inside Def.: inept
Rebounding: awful Shot Blocking: mediocre
Stamina: strong Free Throw: awful

Congrats of the championship man, and best of luck in D.II!

This is actually my first post in this league; wanted to be more active but was so busy dealing with the stress of school so I couldn't really be online as much as I wanted to. Hopefully I can have more of an impact in the forums this coming season. As for draftees, I didn't put any investments this year but I was able to luck up and get a decent Center with perennial allstar potential. He'll be a nice work in progress. Also didn't know we get 4 draftees in D.III so that was a pleasant surprise!
