Hey everybody i have aqueston for you, is it smarter buy the cheaper players($ 1,000) whose statistics are good or the more expensive($10,000-$15,000 one that mabey have more experience. thanks

IT depends on the potential of the cheap players you want to buy. You should take a look at the Game Manual to tell you about potential. IF you do buy a 10-15k player, make sure he has good skills because you don't want him to be the player that jacks up shots and misses. Other managers will probably tell you other things so this is just going off my opinion.

thanks for your input, right now any opinion is better than mine haha. but i am looking forward to learning the ins and out of the game and over time i think it will happen

You have a pretty good prospect in Dan Roe, I would sell him (you probably could get well over 100k depending on his skills) or start training him right now. Read the "Guide to Buzzer Beaters" in the help forums to learn the best way to train him.

ok so basically you train your best players and then sell them for as much as you can so you can get like 2 good players?? also i bought mile visinka for 199,000 was that a smart move the guy that sold him was in financial trouble

As a new team its best to invest in 3-5 young trainable players rather then on a 30yo that will be nearly worthless in a couple seasons.

You want to create as much player quality and value from training as possible. The primary keys for doing this is having a good training plan (which skills will be trained) and how good are your trainees from the start (skills, potential).

What you do with those players once they have been trained and are worth more is up to you. Best to read thru this first (144856.1)

man thanks for the info i really screwed i read just a couple of pages and realized i had made a pretty big mess so now i have to fix i guess i'll have apply more real life basketball sense than i thought ex. not giving an old geezer a 200k contract. should i trade him right away or play this season with him or a few games or what also should i train my best prospect( dan roe) and trade him or keep him and what price range would you reccomend paying for younger player as far as training goes what formula would you reccomend team, individuals etc. and when you assign the the guards to practice do all the guards practice on the whole team or just your starting guards. thanks so much in advance and sorry for all the questions but with the season tommorow i need as much help as i can get unfortantly i joined on wednesday so i couldnt scedule a scrimmage so i guess we'll se after the first game .

I would keep the guy you just bought because when you sell a player you only get a percentage of his selling price, and if you sell right after you buy you are only going to get around 80% of the sale so you will probably end up losing money. You can build around him though. Older players (30 and over) are cheaper to buy than younger ones so this purchase isn't really too bad. What I would do is trim your roster to around 10 of your best players. Then you probably need one more "decent" player (weekly salary of around $5000 - 8000 per week) and you will have no problem doing well in division V.

You also could find a cheap trainee (a player that is young, proabably no older than 20, 18 is best, with at least star potential) that you can train along side Dan Roe.

To answer your training question NEVER do team training unless its free throws or stamina. Team training trains everyone on your roster, but hardly anything compared to one postion or two position training. So always do one position, in your case guards, or point guard. Also in order for a player to receive the maximum training he has to play at least 48 minutes each week.

I mentioned this before but you really need to read the Guide to Buzzer Beaters if you really want to understand the game.

Hope this helps
