I have climbed from div IV to div II and have always had key players in my promotion team whom I've trained. Not suggesting that one should train the whole team, but like you say above, training and selling trainees does bring you a lot of cash...

What's wrong is div IV and V managers getting overpaid trainers because they think their 18 y.o. 2.5k salary trainee will make it to the national team! But everyone in lower divisions should train players, especially since it takes very little time for a player to start contributing at that level.

You are in Division IV dude....either you just started last year or training has not got you anywhere near where daytrading would. Personal results?? Are you kidding? Would you like to see my track record for training?

If I wanted your transfer history, I'd look at it myself. I didn't question your training pedigree, I questioned your asinine comment on the worthlessness of training in lower divisions. The truth is your flat wrong. If you take a look at my transfer history, you'll see that training has been integral to my advancement in this game. In 3 full seasons playing this game, I will have advanced from D.5 to D.3 based mostly on the massive amount of money I've made from training.

Your arrogant and condescending posts are annoying at best and at worst drive users away from asking for help on this forum.

Imo training in lower leagues for success is fine. Emphasis should be on building the arena though and buying veterans for cheap skills to salary ratio. I do think that anything beyond trainer lvl4 is throwing away money in the bottom leagues.
Daytrading is not the main goal of this game and takes a lot of free time and knowledge of player quality. I think daytrading in bigger countrys is harder (although it might be more beneficial) just because of lower income and free funds. We can also agree that training a draftee/player in 40 manager country vs training a player in 3000+ manager country is a bit different. There are not many throwaway games in bigger countrys + any player you draft in a low userbase country is a NT player. Thus whenever you train them -> you get more money on sales just because of the national flag (read merchandise) on player page.

thats a very good record but im in div IV, i dont have large sums of cash to do anything, so wat do i do, keep training or wat???

Good grief

Your team is COMPLETELY backwards

First...Fire the trainer...that will save $70,000 a week
although you'll have to pay a weeks severance

Take the time to hire a level 4 trainer
if you're patient you'll get one for less than $20,000 at a salary < $13000 a week

Find 3-6 18 Yr old trainees with salaries more than $4000
Potential of these players matter but not THAT much where you are right now
even star and up is decent to start

Buy trainees at 1 position...Either Guards or Big Men
Don't spend too much...in all of this you must be patient
Buy in off hours...when there are less than 1000 people online

Buy some older veteran players (Salaries $8-12000 to help you win)

If you buy Guard trainees...buy veteran big men
if you buy big men trainees...buy older guards

Best of luck

By the way you did get rid of a brilliant trainee

would trade everything you now have to get him back and give him the training you wasted on everyone else this season

wat should i train the guards on and how fast will the pops come. So what it the advantage of having a world renowed trainer anyway if i can jus get a lower level one an have some good results

The world renowned trainee will give good results but cost a ton more then an advanced trainer and not make up for it with the amount of extra pops. The most important skills for a PG are OD/PA/HD/JS/DR/JR in about that order. Make sure the passing is higher then the JS though. For a SG you would probably want really good OD,JS, and JR and pretty good HD,DR,PS.

The world renowed trainer does train faster than the others, but the differences are not substantial. There is less than 10% difference between every level of trainer. Now if you're an upper division team with 10's of millions in the bank and a huge weekly income, you can afford to spend top $$$ on the top trainer. But when you're a lower division team, it just doesn't make economic sense because you simply can't afford it. You're better off spending your money on everything else other than than high level staff. It's even worse when you don't have any top prospects worth training. It would be like a high school bball team spending millions to lure Phil Jackson in as their head coach. Sure he's a great coach but it just doesn't make financial sense.

And not even Phil Jackson can make a team that starts Smush Parker and Kwame Brown any good!
