There is something that you are missing here. There may be a ton of trainable players created every draft. However, the vast majority of them do not get trained. I would say that in Canada, only 5-10% of the trainable players have historically received training. The players either get fired, end up on bot teams or the owner just never bothers to train them.

I'm sure it is the same in many other countries. Go back to the season 2,3,4 drafts and tell me how many of those players are still around? How many of them got training? How many were trained enough to be starters on a division I team?

So you may find lots of trainable players, but if they never get training, the market flood that you describe will never happen.

On the other hand, there is probably no point in investing in scouting.

that may be something youre right about. maybe if there were sell on fees for the owner there would be more incentive to train and sell players you woudlnt train

i can only speak from my own experience..

my "mother club" team, could easily be in nbba or most any division, and would beat the crap out of my current team

Funny. To me, there are the few trainable draftees :)

I have taken part to 4 drafts so far and I have only been able to train 1 of my own draftees (and only as sixth trainee).
This season, out of 3 players, the best defensive skill I got (both ID or OD) was inadeguate. I surely don't want to waste my time on players like that :)

That's amazing, because there is no such skill level as inadequate!

I was just giving you a hard time.
I did get your point.
