Since
I wouldn't say it's gaming the game at all; it's really a necessary by-product of the training system. So, you can't have it both ways - either the training mechanism and its limits are fine (which results in precisely this 48 minutes scenario), or there is a problem that this is a basketball training game with matches to support the training.


As the game evolves, you have to add limitations to keep the balance. Using a player for 48 minutes in every contest for two years, starting in his rookie season, is absurd to someone like me who prefers a little more "rigid realism" in the game. I've been around since Season 7. Paid for every season. In my view, the training for the U21 and NT teams is out of balance and has skewed game play, the cost of players, and the general economy in ways that need corrected. I tried it myself for the first time this season and hated it. I'm not trying to infringe on anyone's fun--I know it's popular (just look at all of the professional tankers around and how that impacts the draft)--just looking for a little more balance. And I can have my cake and eat it too, if I want

Regards.

If yes, that's definitely not how you train a player, regardless of whether he's a rookie. That guy's (or guys'?) GS will be trash because of the excess of playing time, but you don't need 48 minutes per game for full training, only per one week.


GS is trashed. I believe--and this is my first go at this--the idea is to ratchet up the experience as much as possible. You basically prioritize the training of this player over the success of the team, doing just enough to avoid a fan boycott.

I could see literal farm teams doing that, but I wouldn't ever say this is something that's necessary for training NT players.


I don't know. I am researching the forum now. Apparently it makes a difference at the U21 level. "Farm Teams"? I assume they are used for training only.

Here is the first post I have found that discusses the issue 2010: (142938.1)

I think this is quite good idea to boost the experience if you have e.g. three 18yo trainees with HoF potential and have to anyway start from lower divisions to be competitive after 5-7 seasons. But the way to go is to still play your 3-6 trainees on training position 48 minutes and then your top prospects will get max minutes on other positions after they got their training minutes. But of course you can't do this and be also competitive so it only works until players are around 21-22 and salaries will start going up more rapidly (and you might want your players to play for U21 NT).

But again, there is injury risks and major issues for winning so I don't think this is an issue even though someone would do this.

Plan A rocked the Vote.

This is a start.

People are comfortable with the Training because this is what they always had, but the Training System is counter-intuitive and a mess. If you came from playing basketball organized, to playing BB, Training would make zero sense and would actually feel broken.

But to fix that, would need ground up redevelopment. So band-aids to add diversity would be good.
