Its pretty bad though and could be fixed very easily...

How about you train his secondary skills while he's young and cheap and then smash his primaries once you're satisfied with his secondaries?

It's not that difficult to train big men in guard skills: it's only worth like 1 season of training out of position (I consider that JS, DR and HA are trained easily - 1v1 forwards). When you pay them 5k - 20k a week, it's comfortable to train them during the cup / scrimmage.

I don't actually see why it is bad. It isn't my cup of tea, but if people want to help out their NTs or have a superstar for a few weeks and have the cash to do so, why not? I am not trying to be cute, but just want to know the arguments for why it is bad. Can you lay them out for me?

Yes 1vs1 is easy, but JR OD and Ps is not... To train a bigmen (even if he's 18) from 3 to 7 in Ps is a long process...

true, thus I like to draft/buy some tall guards: they already have a high level in these 3 skills that are tough to train at the expense of big men primaries (which will train a lot faster anyway).

It simply does not make sense that you can "overtrain" a player. We have to stop training because players become to expensive and thus lose value. Players that become too good are a liability because of high salaries AND low transfer value, explain me this logic!

It is like a high end Lamborghini would be worth the same as a low end Dacia and a regular Renault would build the most expensive cars. Or gold=copper>diamonds...

Now what would happen if we capped player salaries? We would train centers up to the cap and even further as every additional pop would be free and thus valuable.

Rich people can own a couple of Lambos and still do well financially. Its not like they would buy on at the beginning of the month and sell him again at the end of the month because they found out it was too expensive.

1:0 for Sidi Knecht ^^

I see what you are saying. It doesn't really answer why the habit of selling the huge salaried guys is wrong. It instead addresses the factors that lead up to what I was asking about, and as such, I think what you say makes sense. However, I disagree with setting a salary cap for players. If someone wants to train irresponsibly, we should not legislate against that. I don't want BB to decide what I can or can't train. Also, allowing players to improve after their salary gets to a cap is not a solution that I agree with.

I will give you an example similar to your Lamborghini example but more apropos to what happens here. In Pattaya many tourists come with wads of cash. They go to the motorcycle shop and rent the biggest bike they can find. Then they spend a week roaring around with a different girl on the back every day. They wake up one morning and realize they have spent all their cash so they take the big bike back and rent a Yamaha 110 for the rest of their vacation.

Not something I am interested in doing, but something that happens.
