Thanks a lot for your constructive advice, also I'm already active on the offsite and Ive shared him with the managers there,.Though I could understand your opinion on IS, however besides it being very expensive to train, I don't quite understand why you say it's pointless to when it used by superior NT's who have the best LI offensive players (China NT, Poland NT). Maybe things will change in the future, to balance these offenses, but IS to me isn't pointless.

I could understand your assessment on RB being more then IS though. But for me I like a balance approach in IS,ID,RB.

Hence I just want to know what other people think about this player. The last USA NT manager said this about my player on the offsite.

His height makes him a big man. It's probably better that his secondaries already started off decently well, since those tend to pop slower than inside skills based on height. Yes, he will take a lot of work on inside skills but with ATG potential and 7 seasons, who knows? The NT needs bigs with good secondaries.

The main thing for this guy obviously for the next couple of seasons is to work on his inside skills.

Thats what I'm doing. He started out with crappy inside skills, but I'm gonna try to get him on par with the rest of the bigs moving forward.And well... We'll just see what happens in the future.

And I see your SB believer, like me. I tend to favor SB on a stop all inside shot standpoint (2-3 zone). SB over ID seems odd, but it's a really good one that I will study and test out. JR on a big is really hard, and its gonna stunt my inside skill training. I rely on 1v1 F to train that, otherwise thats not what I'm going to experiment on. And again the reason why I bought him off the TL was because of his pot, but more then that is that he had 7 ODPA to star with which is rare among bigs. I might continue training him in guard skills after this season, then switch back to primaries in his later years.

But who knows.....

Dude, I really see what your saying, but the more you have the better, sometimes it's not needed but its better, cost could be high, but you have a great player never the less. Urbanek of CR NT is 280k, but is probably the best PF in BB (IS explanatory).

SB indeed work, but should you just brush aside ID like that, ID is efficient to me??

I believe that JR is for guards, not Center, imo.

You need diffrent type of skill sets to fulfill NT needs. Right now will probably be the SB era though.

280k will always make since in my book even if it's expensive. Urbanek, requires sacrifices from other teams though. Hence without farm teams he wold be valuable to win B3 and World Championships. Sure 80% of the world is look to making players inexpensive. But trust me people who are dedicated to making the best players to win WoChampion are great even if expensive. There's only a handful of farm teams with multi accounts, which is a bit of a problem but salary to me, as long as it stays under 300k or just slightly above it, it shouldn't be a problem,but it will negate your clubs money flow and some league game are sure to be sacrificed.

I don't have experience of managing NT players, but to me you definitely should be trying to train on what your NT needs most. And this era it's stopping LI offense and IS shots with SB players. This is my 9th season going into this game too.

SB is most certainly the new era.

Me personally I think my player could make it with tons of inside training, and he already has incredible subs. He isn't a bad trainee. He just needs patience and dedication. That is why I'm going to train RB to 8, then 1v1 him to make his guards skills out of this world. Plus he is ATG, he will train really,really long.

A NT player needs 10 seasons training at least. That means in real life 2.5 year!!! 2.5 year that your team is not on full strength. That is a big commitment.

Most managers fail somewhere along the way.
Good luck!

Well, I didn't mean I would be keeping him that long. He can sell for a lot of money the future. But evidently I still want him to be on track which in fact he is on track of the NT. I don't think an NT player gets 10 season training at least. Thats 28yrs of age, which players cap at that range as a HOF and below on the NT. A player gets probably about 6-8 seasons at least. Well you do the math on how much months that is. At most players train to their 10th season, depending on pot. Which if the player is almost fully trained at age 24yrs, he'll most likely cap at age 26 or 27.

Who knows what the future holds in store for me, I might just keep him, or not.

Plus most managers fall in the early stages of the game, being uninterested in the game long enough to enjoy it. When your training a player and becomes your stud, you actually become more interested because of the hardwork and results of a stud player you trained for so long.
