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!

I'm in a small country.

I think you refer to Japan in BB. Because Japan in real is just big and awesome.

They need to make a buzzer beater game show then it will take right off :)

Mistake#1
Thinking that training is possilbe at your level in the game. This is not really your fault. One would hope this game is set to reward you for training your own players...that really only happens in small nations where they have the finances or established teams taht bought pre created players at around 22. Its just the way they set this game up.

This game has rewarded me for training my own players. I think your comment is ridiculous. It seems to me the most efficient and cost-effective way to improve your team in lower divisions is through training. We all realize you're frustrated with your personal training results; no reason to take that frustration out on the newbies.

Absofreakinglutely.

I always see people telling new players to get 2-3 players with high, high potential and one position train them, and saying that anything below allstar is worthless. Meanwhile, I've just happily chugged along two-position training with star potential guards for the almost two seasons now that I've been here, and just now am ready to switch to one position because I want to start transitioning to big men via a SF trainee.

It's definitely a different game in different countries, but in a country with five levels, you're darned right you can train to improve your team quite successfully and to make sure that you end up with players built to your specifications, rather than hoping that you can find someone that's not a JS donkey on the TL.
