And since my goal was to make Bronson the #1 guard in America, that's going to work out just fine for me. I have built up a lot of secondary players and have drafted exceptionally well (SOME of my draftees: Two 6'2" guards with decent skills and potential this year, a 6'1" 18 year old MVP last year, a 6'8" MVP with enough forward skills to train as a guard to create a good SF and Jeffrey Fournier, who is currently on the market with a bid over 1 500 000.) over the years, so I can still afford Bronson's talent on my roster. And when the day comes that he is too expensive for me, I will put him on the market and get 2 star post men in return.

Yeah, I saw that guy on the TL. He has only strong OD, though so some one will have to train it :). I am curios just how much time you invested in him. The reason I ask is because I recently sold a much worse G for similar amount and replaced him with a guard comparable to yours, but a year younger for just 100k more. My point is you can play the market to make money. In fact the guy I sold I had bought for half of what he sold for and only gave him minimum training during the time I had him. I think I popped him twice in JS and thats all. But if I am going to invest a significant amount of time and effort to train some one I would get attached to them and want to keep that player for myself.

A final note: don't trust NT trainers for understanding the game, they are usually good at communications (which won them the election) rather than knowing more about the game mechanics than everybody else. I'm one of them. :-)


Yeah your work about the salary or the game ratings, are a sure sign that you didn't know more of the mechanics then others and are just good with words :)

wth? training speed slows down with equal speed for all skills? if you just full on train only 1skill then it will slow down rather than training evenly. training evenly in all skills cept the less useful ones: shotblock etc. is actually good as you dont get bulk down with monstrous salary and gives you more flexibility plus better sales value.

Where exactly are you going with this, and have you read this post carefully or just skimmed through. I never sad anything of sorts. I did say that I don't believe that I ever heard of the age related slowdown effecting different skills differently, but as far as I know that happens to be the truth. And while we are on the subject there are situations when the slowdown related to a runaway skill just can't be avoided and you just have to live with it. I am not about to stop training OD for example just because the other skills are lagging. Sometimes you can avoid it by rotating your training, but sometimes it is what it is and you just have to deal with it.

You'll probably end up with sub-optimal training for it - it really does slow down when you get out of balance.

Just by how much would you say it slows down? I plan on tacking OD to about 17-18 while the HN and DR will stay at around 12-13. Will I have significant problems doing that? I do plan on doing quite a bit of one position training were OD is concerned.

I believe it would slow down enough to make the last couple pops a real drag.

Ok, thanks. I will keep it in mind. I wasn't sure if I wanted to archive those last pop or two through pressure training or handling, but I guess what you say reassures me that I might need to do some handling training late. By the way how is the OD going to be effected by the fact that it is a runaway skill in terms of secondary training. Will training it indirectly still produce a diminishing return?

Probably, but not enough to be entirely concerned about it.
