I think the best training idea is that the players don't need to be played to receive thei training.Usually is every sport the training is receive before the games not just during the games.Also...

1) This is the case in almost every management simulation game out there. Players get training points regardless of whether they play in actual games or not. The reasoning behind why the creators of Buzzerbeater's chose to create a training system that doesn't do that has never been adequately explained. Making this simple change will fix a huge number of problems with inflation within a few seasons. It will also allow new teams to be competitive sooner, if the focus on training.

2) Also, most simulation games have some sort of set prices for coaches. Buzzerbeater already has this via the hiring internal system. Why not simply eliminate the Staff Market System and let each team hire whatever level doctor, trainer or pr-manager based on that predetermined price range (like the trainer salary ranges below). Names could be auto-generated the same way draftee names are generated.

Basic - $5000
Competent - $10000
Advanced - $15000
Superior - $25000
Exceptional - $35000
World-renowed - $45000

IMO, only focusing on one aspect doesn't make it a true management game.

New managers should not have level 5 trainers to start with. There's no gain in that as you often la k the material to train and the knowledge how to in order to get the most out of that trainee.
An advanced trainer will also get the job done just as well for new reams at a lot lower price.

Define. New managers. I am in my 4th season. Bring in over 110k revenue per week I have a game profit. And would not be able to afford a reasonably priced level 5 trainer. I sold a player for near a mil earlier this year too, tried to find an affordable trainer, and gave up when it was clearly not going to happen, and then re-invested it into my arena instead.

There is no reason for a new manager NOT to benefit from high level trainers. It might be uneconomical, but that's a different story. Everyone training benefits from better trainers. Obviously. And if they were cheaper and with a lower salary they would benefit the same, but save money. Obviously.

On the FT discussion I think the easiest way to fix it is that players with level 1 abbility to have around 25-30%
It's almost unreal a player with 40% FG and less than 10% FT even with a disastrous skill.

Another topic that would be interesting is a more detailed control of minutes in substitutions.
It would me better for planing training.
Example: starter player, 25 minutes. Sub 15 minutes. Reserve 8 minutes (Point Guard)
Starter player 30 minutes. Sub 15 minutes. Reserve 3 minutes (shooting guard)

It'll be great to set exactly the minutes we want our players play.

I started playing roughly 3 seasons ago and by the first month I had lvl 5 trainer and 3 trainees, it is just how you manage your team. Right now I am in tanking mode basically, getting more than 150k weekly profit. Once my trainees finish I will comfortably sail to the II. div and buy some guys to fill the lineup with the revenue I have collected thus far. Also I have 13300 seats in my arena after the last build, invested in new trainer who has 15k salary tier 5 couple days ago and I still have enough cash to buy at least 2 starters currently if I would like to. So I wouldn't say it is impossible to train your players as a new team, one of my trainees is also top scorer in Portugal U21.
