I am still waiting to hear who is going to be your "star" trainee. But then you need to get three trainees organised, maybe another rotation player, staff and arena all as soon as possible, by tomorrow if possible.

Here is my look at things.

Ullman is a great SG keep him there.
You only have Graig Astle who is good to train as a C (the starter potential guys aren't worth it, really nothing less than allstar is). So I wouldn't train bigs, instead I would sell Graig Astle and buy a cheaper but better player.

Training PGs
Ed Brar 6'0" 6k 19 allstar
Sebastian Hijano 6'1" 3.5k 19 MVP and your draft pick. He was your first choice. You knew you had a 7'3" trainee but you drafted a 6'1" player so you really made your decision then.
You have at least three other guys on your team you can train as well (Whitney Rambuka is the least worst) or but I would suggest just spending a little and for abou $20-50,000 you should be able to get a 19 year old Aussie allstar or better potential trainee. If you are willing to spend $100,000 there is a great Aussie 19 year old for sale right now.

Think of it this way, do 1 position training and purge all your 18 years olds as their potential are just bad or you can keep them if your planning to do DR or JS this season which i wouldnt recommend since their potential means they wont fetch much on the market at all. or you can keep them around just to play.

train hijano and maybe ed brar (depends on his skills, or if you can afford any trainees)

sell off Astle as he doesnt fit your training plan but unless your willing to train his secondaries for the whole season and switch to big man training which means selling off your guards trainees next season. if you sell then you can get a guard trainee, preferbably below 6'7 and allstar potential or above. note: Rambuka might be too old already to be a decent SF but maybe trainable again depends on his skills... most likely not.

the rest of the players are just to take up time so dont bother training your 11k SG since his potential means he will capped out at 18k or so anyways.

get a level 5 trainee since you need to catch up on Hijano's whole season of missed training.

invest heavily in draft since IV have bots who will pick at random so even if you end up top seed and have the last pick, you will still likely to get your top preference.

unlike all the basketball you claimed you are expert in, BB players dont improve without training so no point have youth at every position since they are dropping in value as the seasons goes by.

didnt the forum member tell you not to blow your money but you did it anyways. zzzz.

So i think i got my 3 trainees organised?
What do you mean by another rotation player?
i sent a BBmail to you with info on my staff and after tomorrows cup match i will build up my stadium as much as i can...

they are not exactly PG just that your training all the guards' skill at PG.

you know how to rotate your minutes right?

when setting your lineup, change the coach instructions to strictly follow depth chart.
and the 3 player will be playing at PG for starter, backup and reserves for each 3 game of the week.
48 = the minimum minutes needed to for full training, anything beyond doesnt add more.

basically just do OD (pressure) until your MVP guard get up to strong at least then we will where to go from there.

so your 3 main trainees are: Romaggioli,Hijano and Brar.

dont bother training the rest of the players. I would suggest you sell off some of your younger players (superstar potential C and SF might bait some money) and just buy cheap fillers since D4 is mostly bots and you dont need anyone good to win.

What did you mean before when you said to purge all my 18 year olds?

Yeah i read up on how to rotate my players to get 48mins

sell them since they are well bad quality.

I wouldnt stress so much about getting australian players only since australia is small country and the players arent always available for good price, I would just grab the best players avaiblale for the best price.

couldnt be stuffed reading all this but ur 3 trainees r crap

Sebastian Hijano 3k 19yo w pitiful od
ur kidding right?
forget his potential he will never be good
it will take u a whole season to just get decent od
then he will be a 4k 20 yo

u can buy better trainees 4 10k

Ed Brar 6k 19yo allstar
he has good skills & would be ok as a 3rd trainee but im gonna disagree w every1 here & say that potential is 2 low & so is pallstar really u want superstar + potential if u stick around long enough ull find out why

Whitney Rambuka 5k 20yo
a 5k 20yo do i need 2 say more?

take a quick trip on the tl

enter the following
age max 19
pot min superstar
height max 6'5

Transfer Listed Players as of 11/9/2011 8:24:45 PM
Showing results 1-10 of 86.

86 guys all r better than ur guys go buy 1

ull hate me now but thank me later

id drop the height to 6 foot 3 but other then that exactly what he should do :)

dude he doesnt even have any money left.

his MVP trainee is well worth training since only his OD is bad.

how are better abit better in OD justify for being worst in everything else not to mention potential.

and be a starter for his team even in D2 even if he doesnt hit his max potential. 40-60k guard are quality starters in every D2.

beside wasnt xie only 30k+ when he was 24 much like an allstar salary so rather than worrying about hitting his max potential which he can never do when you start out unless your fully committed. high trainer level cost dough and cheaper ones salaries are too high to sustain for a new team.

beside new guys makes mistakes in training as we all had so its a good way to learn.

but BB if you have money, get a better 18 years old to replace the 19 years old Allstar.

Just wait, what's more important for me at the moment; buy better trainees or invest in my arena like the other guys said to do?
