potential does not affect the speed of which training occurs.

not sure sorry

the search feature isnt worth all that much

From my experience training big men taller players lvling faster than shorter. For example my 7'2 C with all star potential is lvling like 1 skill every 2 weeks, but my 6'11 with superstar potential much slower

For example my 7'2 C with all star potential is lvling like 1 skill every 2 weeks, but my 6'11 with superstar potential much slower

before I didn't know about the potential influence in the training bcz I didn't read the news then in season six I started to train two players with the same age at C one with superstar 6'11 and the other starter potential 7'1, the superstar potential one popped faster than the starter one. so I was not aware of about the potential and giving the priority to the starter potential one bcz of some good side skills, then the supetstar attracted my attention with fast pops though sometimes I wasn't giving him enough training minutes.

at the age of 22 this season the superstar popped many occasions but the starter potential one didn't pop even a single skill. I 've forced to sell him.

so I think height does matter but not as potential.

But that really depends on trained skill.

This might be the one you are looking for? (98371.35)

Thanks mannen, that's exactly what I was looking for.
Seriously, according to that list, it is possible to have a 6th man potential ending up really great. If it doesn't slow them down training, I really might as well not go for huge "MVP" types and I could settle for all-stars if I want to keep them for a long time.
Thanks for all the input!

Training will slow down quite noticeably once they hit their potential cap, though...

Well having a big with star potential (according to the previous post) 33-40k is good enough big man to have at every lvl even as a sub. For my league lvl a big man with that salary could be the 3rd best so looks like it worth to train some young low potential players with good starting salary, at least to sale them on a good price

If you can find a young tall guy he will reach his cap much faster. So its worth having a decent potential so you can train him for a few seasons longer.

Well i am training bigs and buying small. If for example buy a big man with starter potential around 100k, and then train his main skills up to 10-10-10 then at least u can sell him 1.2-1.5 mil. This is what i mean that is worth it to train low potential players

In my opinion there is a too big interest in high potential players. If you train a star player he will reach a very good capacity and when he hit his potential cap he might be a bit old to train anyway. And your argument that you do need a $40k backup is very valid in my opinion as well. I also think that there is not much more that you will have if you sell a Perennial allstar or a star potential $40k player. Those buying a player with such high salary will be aware that if they will not keep training the player their capacity will be very similar (depending on skills of course).

It is very interesting to see the huge difference in transfer sums for an 18 year old MVP compared to an 18 year old allstar. I wonder how often they will get the MVP to a higher salary as well as sold for a higher sum of money. I suspect that it is better to buy two $4kstar potential than one $3k MVP (with some ugly starting skills as well) and a $2500 allstar and I do think that it will be much more expensive to buy the last two players. Both in terms of their capacity when you reasonably should stop train them because of age and regarding what you can get for them when you sell them. Seen so many $10k guys being sold for much less than $1M and it takes at least 2 seasons to have a well balanced players with such salary normally.
