Sure, he looks good, continue training him.

The only concern might be his salary at the later stages of his carrier. But since you have your arena built, I guess you'll be able to improve through leagues, and sustain an expensive roster.

Thanks for the advice! Much appreciated!

Uhh... wow nice player!! You don't think with his height that he can train in inside fairly easy. Sure he is really behind, but reason why I bought was because of his 7 OD/PA and his pot. If I train inside skills for an extensive amount of time shouldn't he be able to catch up???

And hence difference between my/your trainee is that my guy will obvioulsy train way longer then your guy even though your guy is better.

But Thanks for your Advice, definitely appreciated!!

Thanks a lot for your constructive advice, also I'm already active on the offsite and Ive shared him with the managers there,.Though I could understand your opinion on IS, however besides it being very expensive to train, I don't quite understand why you say it's pointless to when it used by superior NT's who have the best LI offensive players (China NT, Poland NT). Maybe things will change in the future, to balance these offenses, but IS to me isn't pointless.

I could understand your assessment on RB being more then IS though. But for me I like a balance approach in IS,ID,RB.

Hence I just want to know what other people think about this player. The last USA NT manager said this about my player on the offsite.

His height makes him a big man. It's probably better that his secondaries already started off decently well, since those tend to pop slower than inside skills based on height. Yes, he will take a lot of work on inside skills but with ATG potential and 7 seasons, who knows? The NT needs bigs with good secondaries.

The main thing for this guy obviously for the next couple of seasons is to work on his inside skills.

Thats what I'm doing. He started out with crappy inside skills, but I'm gonna try to get him on par with the rest of the bigs moving forward.And well... We'll just see what happens in the future.

And I see your SB believer, like me. I tend to favor SB on a stop all inside shot standpoint (2-3 zone). SB over ID seems odd, but it's a really good one that I will study and test out. JR on a big is really hard, and its gonna stunt my inside skill training. I rely on 1v1 F to train that, otherwise thats not what I'm going to experiment on. And again the reason why I bought him off the TL was because of his pot, but more then that is that he had 7 ODPA to star with which is rare among bigs. I might continue training him in guard skills after this season, then switch back to primaries in his later years.

But who knows.....

Dude, I really see what your saying, but the more you have the better, sometimes it's not needed but its better, cost could be high, but you have a great player never the less. Urbanek of CR NT is 280k, but is probably the best PF in BB (IS explanatory).

SB indeed work, but should you just brush aside ID like that, ID is efficient to me??

I believe that JR is for guards, not Center, imo.

You need diffrent type of skill sets to fulfill NT needs. Right now will probably be the SB era though.

280k will always make since in my book even if it's expensive. Urbanek, requires sacrifices from other teams though. Hence without farm teams he wold be valuable to win B3 and World Championships. Sure 80% of the world is look to making players inexpensive. But trust me people who are dedicated to making the best players to win WoChampion are great even if expensive. There's only a handful of farm teams with multi accounts, which is a bit of a problem but salary to me, as long as it stays under 300k or just slightly above it, it shouldn't be a problem,but it will negate your clubs money flow and some league game are sure to be sacrificed.

I don't have experience of managing NT players, but to me you definitely should be trying to train on what your NT needs most. And this era it's stopping LI offense and IS shots with SB players. This is my 9th season going into this game too.

SB is most certainly the new era.

Me personally I think my player could make it with tons of inside training, and he already has incredible subs. He isn't a bad trainee. He just needs patience and dedication. That is why I'm going to train RB to 8, then 1v1 him to make his guards skills out of this world. Plus he is ATG, he will train really,really long.
