well, I think it's worth it. If you actually want to shape your players, and your team you should buy level 6,7 coach. I've had every season I've played this game, and got some really nice players. I mean, as opposed to constantly buying 30 yo overpriced players, that only have a couple of seasons left, you cap 6 or 7 players in 4-5 seasons, and become a great team:)
