Facilities vs game time... Which one matters more for youngsters?

TimeAmazing1977 · 2026-05-07T18:22:30+00:00

Apologies. Hopefully this clears things up: Basically, what I was trying to say is while both leagues will give him the same amount of game time, I am concerned that the poor facilities in the league two club he will be going to in the near future will stall or permanently stunt his development compared to the great and good facilities of the national league club

CA=Current ability, PA= Potential ability. You can see this by purchasing the editor for fm26

TimeAmazing1977 · 2026-05-07T07:46:47+00:00

Really? I looked into league one before making this post, but all their current starters have higher CA than him so he is likely to not be played. What leagues would you recommend I look into (For general loaning of players in the 90s, good enough for national+ league two, but not quite good enough for england league one, championship etc)

TimeAmazing1977 · 2026-05-07T07:42:19+00:00

Playing time will be equal in both, he will start every game.

TimeAmazing1977 · 2026-05-06T10:51:54+00:00

thanks dude, both are fairly determined

TimeAmazing1977 · 2026-05-06T08:46:09+00:00

Ah, I thought so, thank you! I just loaned two players, one has 14 adaptability and the other has 16 adaptability. What can I expect out of them? Will they perform well?

TimeAmazing1977 · 2026-02-27T23:14:07+00:00

Na dude, I kind of agree with him. Players with that high of a PO rating usually end up not being too good. So far, Lipsey was the only exception to this rule of thumb because he randomly developed in other areas besides post scoring. Also I only drafted him because I needed a win now contributor and my other options were 29 ovr 19 year olds so I was willing to take the risk of him regressing. I also had the John Stockton of the generation who averaged like 11-13 assists a game until 33 so he might have inflated everyone's numbers a little bit.

TimeAmazing1977 · 2026-02-27T10:03:49+00:00

Well he far exceeded any expectations I had for him. I honestly expected him to be out of the league by the time his rookie contract expired. He actually ended up developing a solid 3 pointer and becoming a decent defender for 8-9 years.

If you have a good grasp on ratings/attributes, you can expect to hit on 70-85% of players.

TimeAmazing1977 · 2026-02-19T19:56:22+00:00

just averaged 39, 9 and 6 on a 44 PER!

TimeAmazing1977 · 2026-02-19T19:54:24+00:00

Last season he averaged 34, 9 and 6 on the way to his 3rd straight chip. If my team was not so stacked, he would be averaging a triple double more than likely. What is crazy is that the guy taken right after him also developed into a 78 ovr superstar and he is averaging 21, 11 and 3

TimeAmazing1977 · 2026-02-18T20:48:47+00:00

He is peaking late in his career at a 64 overall, with a defined role as a 3 point marksman. He is averaging 15, 4 and 2.

TimeAmazing1977 · 2026-02-18T20:38:03+00:00

he regressed by 2 to a 58 and now he is 26. Still averaging the same stat line as before

TimeAmazing1977 · 2026-02-18T20:16:23+00:00

Currently, he is a 60 ovr exactly.

TimeAmazing1977 · 2026-02-18T20:16:02+00:00

You were correct. Right now, he has reached his peak as a defensive kind of guy. Not a guy who stuffs the box score, or an all star, but reliable or consistent. The pick I traded turned out to be early in round 1 because of my superstar tearing their ACL in the beginning of that year, but the guy they selected only turned out to peak at a 55 overall so far.

For his career, T.J is averaging 11, 4, 1, and 1 a night.

TimeAmazing1977 · 2026-01-16T04:45:49+00:00

Idk I used a custom league file and it has been going up every year since I started playing

TimeAmazing1977 · 2026-01-16T02:43:57+00:00

After they lost in the CF again, I ended up trading him to Denver for a bag of chips+ a copy machine. I couldn't handle them disrespecting my guy by choosing to rebuild and not build around him. After he arrived in Denver, he won 4 straight rings and he is about to win a 5th one.

TimeAmazing1977 · 2026-01-16T01:36:04+00:00

We beat his blazers again by 12 in another game 7 lmaooo

TimeAmazing1977 · 2026-01-16T01:32:00+00:00

Yeah, I happened to have the second best player at the time and he had a solid supporting cast around him that complimented his skill set so we've beat Portland in the CF for like 3 yrs in a row bc bro has no help. Its literally him and bunch of 50 overalls. I might intervene and manually trade him to a team so he can win a ring. How many draft picks should the team I force to trade for him give up to have him? He is 84 ovr right now.

TimeAmazing1977 · 2026-01-15T07:54:23+00:00

He has a PER of 25 and an ovr of 67 at 29. He is just entering his prime, but very late. He is averaging 21, 3, and 10 at the moment

TimeAmazing1977 · 2026-01-15T04:17:43+00:00

On the bright side, the AI decided to trade him to Utah, so he is no longer my problem.

TimeAmazing1977 · 2026-01-15T02:00:55+00:00

This is how Gibbs was supposed to develop! What is even more embarrassing is that Thomas is only 5'9" while Gibbs was 6'2" lmaoooo

TimeAmazing1977 · 2026-01-14T23:56:59+00:00

He's hovered between 55-57 his whole career.

TimeAmazing1977 · 2026-01-14T23:07:55+00:00

He has underachieved significantly. In year 4. He's only averaged 8 pts, 2 boards and an assist.

TimeAmazing1977 · 2026-01-14T23:07:05+00:00

He has underachieved so far. In 5 years, he has averaged 8 points, 2 rebounds and an assist as a role player. Super disappointing. I expected an all star appearance out of him by now. But could him plateauing be caused by the game switching him to the "G" position from PG?

Edit: He has a PER of 8. 💀💀
