I totally understand where you're coming from, but I always trained for a profit, it didn't matter if I was training Guards, Forwards or Centers. Is it not possible to do the same today in BB?
It is still possible today to a certain degree. But you are a new team. It's not the best way if you want to earn money fast. Like I said, I wouldn't touch on training until I'm financially stable. Invest all your money in things which can bring instant money in first while cutting unnecessary costs, then only invest in luxuries like training. You'd not only find it easier to earn money by dumping your money into your arena first, then you'd have more money to give you a headstart in training. Just remember, there is a finite number of seats that can earn you money in your arena (estimated 21k I think?), but an infinite number of trainees to train. So it makes more sense to max out your arena as soon as possible, then focus on training, rather than doing both side by side and achieving half baked results in your first two seasons.
Start of first season (let's take the most realistic and cheap example possible) :
Potential: Superstar
Inside Shot: respectable Inside Defense: respectable
Rebounding: competent Shot Blocking: competent
End of first season prediction, with the following training:
4 weeks Inside Shot
4 weeks Inside Defense
3 weeks Shotblocking
3 weeks Rebounding
18 year old
Potential: Superstar
Inside Shot: prominent Inside Defense: prominent
Rebounding: proficient Shot Blocking: proficient
I think you're getting a little over ambitious here. Did you use any programs such as CoachParrot to calculate that? Because at a first glance, that looks like something I get with my level 7 trainer, which would cost you 3-5m alone, unless you're paying him crazy salaries. I don't know what you mean by competent, but since you listed respectable in the other two skills, I'mma expect it to be average at least. I highly doubt you'd get 3 pops in SB with 3 weeks of SB training and 4 weeks of ID with a level 6 coach (I previously wrote level 5 because you said superior, but noticed you meant level 6, which is exceptional, not superior), unless you're very lucky with sublevels. My 19 year old player who is 224 cm tall (probably close to max height, can't exactly remember what the max height is) pops in SB once every 2 weeks with a level 7 coach tho, so it's not too unimaginable if you're using a level 7 coach. A level 7 coach might just be 3% better than a level 6 coach, but you might not even reach your target with a level 6 coach.
A 19 year old player with superstar potential with these skills could go on for I assume, around the 1Million mark right?
Take into account an MVP player and he could go for more, probably around the 1,5Million mark I assume
Correct me if I'm wrong please, this is my conclusion after analyising the market thoughtfully and the new BB paradigm regarding to training, with the addition of infraestructures
Are you sure that your market analysis is based on bid price, or listed price? Frankly speaking all I see on the TL are delusional people who list their players at a high price and no one bidding. Based on experience, I highly doubt such a player would go for 1 million.
I don't have any hard statistics to back me up, but a quick search right now reveals only 1 player (tho it's a guard) with at least 3 prominent skills and 1 proficient, and his bidding time just ended and no one bid for him when he was listed at 350k. Well, it's mid season, but frankly speaking I don't see it being much more expensive at the start of the season, especially when its a monoskilled C and the game engine being tweaked to make inside tactics less dominant. That said, you'd also probably get your 18 year old superstar for 100k or less, so it's not too bad.
