This is one method of slow building.

I have a whole team put together of slow build players.

A better way to slow build, is create your player on the last day of the season. You gain 8-9 train days and wont level. DO NOT pump points into your main stat your training up, save them. Do not boost yet. Get your main stat to around 24, start on your 2ndary stat.

Once day 40 hits, boost, and spend your 30 points to get your main skill cap'd at 49. From there take it to the 2nd cap, or start on your 2ndary.

As for not wanting exp, you forget that your player will decline in 10 seasons. You want as much exp as you can get as fast as you can get it. If levels were cap'd then i could see wanting to take the slowest path there, to get more out of training, but you are just shorting your "peak" years.

Ive heard it's incredibly worthless. and anyone who does it is a moron. Smart builders use the points they have to max one skill. You can train it later, once you get all of yur other skills high enough to be good. probably raound lvl 10.

Besides, the D league domination of smart players who use their points at the beginning over slow built players is pretty awesome. So they better get used 2 it! B/C it'll be coming for more seasons than just the D laeges1! I will crush people now and in the pros!1


I just looked at your stable of players. Best of luck with that.

Burn.

I should have put more emphasis on the exclamation points and ones, obviously I didn't use enough.

Close to how I do it, except I boost to L4 ASAP and then sign with a D-League team.

Why? Because you can't renegotiate contracts with a CPU team. You're going to boost anyway during the offseason, so you might as well have a L4 contract as opposed to a L1 contract.

Edit: (of course, if you have a human team to join, there's not much point in that)

I also have a couple of adjustments to "spend when you can reach the soft cap".

I keep on training the attribute until RIGHT BEFORE the training session/game that would advance me to the next level, and then spend the SP's to reach the soft cap. It gets you a few more days of high efficiency training, and can save an SP or two.

When boosting, boost one level at a time and spend the SP's for each level before boosting the next level. You may save an SP or two if the autotraining for levelling up kicks you over the cap.

I'm all for it.

Laggo is indeed correct.

no, he's not. if you give up a season or 2 of worthless stats(oh no, im not gonna make the GLB hall of fame!!!), the training you gain by not using skill points is huge. especially if you have an entire team doing it.

who here would like to start a slow build team?

I made a chart on page 4. Up to a certain point, it is effective.

Nice chart but most people just get an attribute to soft cap.

It's done mostly to get the extra points from leveling up added on to the soft cap. The people that don't slow build don't put all there points into one stat and then train it, they usually spread everything evenly and that is when slow building is better.

If you train only your major attribute/skills and save your SP's until you can get to the soft cap, you can benefit by slow playing.

You can be at the soft cap in one skill by level 3 and another by level 7.

Then you can start spreading them out.

I find it hard to explain but its kinda like this....If u make a player and boost 3 times and put all the SP into say strength and make his strength a 40 and then train it, it would take about 5 days to go up 1 strength,so if you train strength the rest of the season it would probobly be around 46 at the end of the season, But if you Make a player and boost but dont put the skill points in anything and save them,Then train Strength it would go up 1 every 2-3 days. so at the end of the season ur strength would be at about 30 just from training.And then you can put all your saved SP's into strength and make it about 55. So in 2 seasons of slow building you would have about 20 more SP's then another player who does not slow build but is also the same level.

The team I GM is slow-building, check us out season 5-6?
