I think I last trained him during 26-th year, or maybe 27-th. I used exclusively level 3 trainers the entire time.
I trained him balanced all the time, since I didn't originally have a final plan, nor I thought they would reach so many skills. I think I planned for 100+ skills orginally, it ended up almost 120 for all my trainees.
Third was Obradovic 116 skills
11/7
12/10
11/10
15/15
10/15
He was mvp potential, but I focused on maxing out two allstar trainees, since I didn't think Obradovic could reach good enough skills on mvp salary.
So who knows, perhaps balanced training is the way to go, I don't think we know for sure, training site went down a long time ago, and that simulator has shown to be too slow, actual training goes quite faster.
