Hi all,
 
This thread is a Battrick related one, however I wanted to keep it separate from the MASSIVE generic thread.
 
I have purchased a new trainee and wanted to share his progress whilst I train him up as A) a training tool for other Battrick users and B) as a bit of fun.Smile

A grest trainee you got there Boof, he will be something like wonderful or exceptional after three seasons.
Why don't we turn this into a Battrick training thread? We can post our trainees and folow their progress.

My original post vanished....

This can stay open but not as a place to post every single trainee/net session/pop in existence.

It is to be kept only for special trainees like Boof's, or for any player you are giving a large chunk of your nets over to.

I don't personally believe the additional benefit of the 3rd net is worthwhile so you would be better going with 2 bowling and stamina for now, then fielding when you have it available

Well, clobber, its because i have no one else to give my third net to, and if i fire and hire, that would cost me quite a lot money - an extra 4500 if i am correct.
 
i would rather give him 3 nets this season, which will give me an extra four to five weeks of poping, and next season, ill use the 3rd net on someone else.

The other guy is a better trainee because of his consistency. This one has such low concentration that even after 3 seasons it probably still won't be good enough for him to score regular runs for you. If you do want to train him give him 2 x bowling, 1 x Batting, 1 x Fielding & 1 x Keeping which is the best way of improving his secondaries.

I'd go for 1 x bowl, 2 if you can spare them. Stamina is OK for now IMHO, better to give someone stamina who really needs it. If he's your least fit player, then stick 1 stam on him too. Make sure you have enough psychs to help the secondaries tick over at a reasonable rate (6-8 I'd guess is ok).

My 2 cents.

Ciao

Soon, I'm going to spend 100 ITS on this guy and then give him 10 training sessions and watch him floursish to be Don Bradman and George Lohmann in one amazing player.

You can only spend so many ITS on a player, its 32 or 36 I believe, either way it isn't 100. Feel free to use all the ITS and 10 nets on the guy, you wont be able to use him while he is netting, and you will end up as a club with one superstar.

Teams with a superstar have many problems, the first being that if this particular player gets out, or doesnt bowl particularly well then your team is going to loose. Also people can set tactics for it. I'm about to play a very had game on friday because the other team has a 250,000BTR player so i'm going to attempt to counter this fact by setting my opening bowlers to defensive (the player is an opening batsman) in an attempt to curb his efficenticy.

Another problem with a superstar is that the wages are fairly damn high.

You would want a player starting on respectable/respectable for their primary and secondary (fitness doesnt matter so much with a long term trainee as it always goes up the same speed)

that's brilliant - consistency and concentration normally pop slower on the younger players so having him so high already gives him a great advantage

If you really need the nets elsewhere that is fine otherwise keep the fielding net on him
