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.

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?

Players can only reach certain skill levels according to their potential
skill pops slow down significantly as the players age
an OD that takes 2 weeks at 18 will take double or more at 25
So if you start training too late players will not get as good as they could have been

It depends on skill levels as to whether or not its worth it.

A trainee that youve invested 5 seasons into and is the future of your team may be worth training at 23-25 to maximize what you get out of him.

but a 24 yr old that hasnt been trained is not worth training because you will get little to nothing out of him.

The speed goes down, but there are still benefits in training all the way to 25-ish with the right players.

It depends on the price you're willing to pay. If you're just starting out and don't want to spend too much right away, you can buy a 18 year old with star/allstar potential and main skills between 5-7. You should be able to buy these for a couple 1000 bucks. It's not that bad if they have 1 skill that is below mediocre, but just check what is available at what price, determine the budget you want to spend and try to find the player(s) that approach what you aim for best.

For older players that you still want to train it gets a bit harder to say. I don't have much experience in buying and training older players, but as a very general guide line I think you can count the total skill points of a player (without stamina and free throw) and take 50 as a base for 18 year olds, and 10 extra for every year they're older than 18. There would still be a lot of exceptions to this, but that would be too long to write down for now.
