Before even spending a cent on the transfer i strongly advice you to keep the team you got and play for a while with that. Get a feel for the game a bit.


Wish I did this when I started playing buzzerbeater

I find star level players and below to be a waste of time when looking at them from a training perspective. If someone else has a 27 year old that is most of the way or all of the way to their cap, then it's a different story. But a player with mistakes made at an 8 potential can still become a long term project for a learning player.


Well-trained star potential players can be very useful for both the short term for a new team and for quite some time. You're not going to ride them into the NBBA but the odds of training a player to NBBA standards, being able to afford him and getting to the NBBA for a new team is exceptionally low to begin with, while the incidence of badly trained, salary inefficient guys with huge salaries torpedoing clubs is high and the number of people who train high potential guys incompletely for a few seasons and then repeat with a new high potential guy is also high.

If you start halfway through the season I don't think it's smart to spend a lot on trainees. They're much cheaper at the start of a season and they won't be missing weeks of training. I think starting with star/allstar trainees is good, you can try the first half season training secondaries, then the next first full season get some good trainees and start with the 2 position training (JS, RB and 1v1) so you can continue training the first trainees and the new ones together. After 1 and a half season I guess you can get the hang of training and sell the first trainees or keep them if they're useful backups.

Only half a season and quite some errors in minutes and the rest of training won't do any good for PAS or higher trainees. Better use your money on your arena first, practice with some cheap trainees and do it right in the first full season.

How old is too old to train?

18 or 19 is the ideal age to start training.

You can train all the way to 24 or 25 effectively, but you really should start before the age of 20, or you lose out on most of the player's potential ability

The older the slower the training. If you have the possibility to train a 18 year old, you should. Some 19 year olds are also worthwhile to train, but 18 is almost always better for fresh trainees. If you buy a player that's older than 18, but has higher than starting skills it could be worth training too.

Thanks for the advice. What level do you consider starting skills?

How so lose out on ability but still train to 24-25 effectively? Does this depend on skill levels?
