I was away for a couple years. Came back and have trained up a few players to their 21 year old season. My question is, how long should you train a player? Still useful to train them after their 21 year old season? Is there a thread on here that explains all of this for me?

I personally have always liked training players until they are about 23-24 and then decided. With that being said you have to weigh the options of if you want to start fresh with new trainees when your current ones are 21-22 or polish off the older trainees. Feel free to join the USA Buzzerbeater Discord and there are people that can help you out and give you more specifics. Welcome back!

I currently have a couple players I am still training...one is an MVP 27 yr old PG and the other is a 23 yr old Superstar that 110TSP. I am finishing up some outside skills along with the MVP PG then I was going to boost more inside skills when he is 24 along with a couple other inside players who are 20 and 21. I read where some managers train to Max out players which has lasted until that trainee was 29 yrs old. I have never trained players past 27 but I guess as long as they are still increasing weekly or bi-weekly but depends to stop his training and start fresh with new trainees (18/19 yr olds). Correct me if I am wrong please because I have often wondered do i leave untouched skills increased to halt for the sake of starting with fresh trainees

Understood.....please explain what kind of penalty? I'm sorry, I never heard of penalty for excessive training for a national team

Essentially the "penalty" is that you are paying for a higher level trainer but aren't getting much out of him if your training focus is solely on a 27 year old. That is when you cycle down to some younger trainees and utilize the trainer more.

OK, Gotcha now....Kinda what I figured, thanks for clearing up. My problem (and I know I need to break the habit) is that if I see I can get More of sprecific skills from an older trainee (26 to 28) I always feel because I didnt give More training I'll pay when facing competition. I like to get all I can until 25 and then start with younger trainees....Unless I have a team full of vets and 1 or 2 trainees that are 25-26 yrs old that needs to boost outside shooting in order to compete offensively in D3 such as my utopia team and to be honest I just started the real training with the group I have on both teams currently (so over the past 5 seasons) Thanks for your valuable advise. I've used your advise in the past and still use it today.
