Thanks mate. I find it hard to believe that no other team is homegrown in my country, but who knows, might be true. Since my main guy has about 3-5 Seasons left in him as a franchise player, I know have to build up both starters and back ups for pretty much all positions, starting with Guards. Then build another star player to lead the gang. That will be a nice very very longterm challenge
Any tips and/or suggestions regarding main guys in homegrown teams? Do you people prefer inside or outside?


I have not much experience with Homegrown team because this is my second and half season with drafted team but I try to talk about it.

I could say that it is very difficult to build a made home team.
I have a franchise player-a guard of 85k salary, an old center of 35k and 6 young players who I am training-who are the future.

The training is a not simple situation because first years I choose to train mono my best 3 trainees but then I am going to train 5/6 players so I decided to try Inside Defense and IS biruolo (I never trained 6 players in ID and IS).

Probably I wrong to train in this way, and I am ready to read suggestions from coaches with much more experience than me.

Thanks Joey and Demars for the advice. It's definitely not an easy balancing challenge. I would love to have a strong SF, but my only really good player at the moment is a forward, thus blocking the most valuable training spot. I have an upcoming replacement, but I also need some roleplayers as back-ups, especially guards. And the only position decently covered is my PF spot, again making the most valuable training spot difficult to maximise.

Hard choices but very much fun! This is somehow improving and rejuvenating my whole BB experience.

There are different ways to go about it.

- Aim for continuous performance. This is probably the most difficult, because it requires trade-offs all the time: Stop training players just as they get interesting, but the next generation needs attention and training slots so as to avoid a hole later on.


This is the way i like. I think that a balanced team is the best solution to not lose wish to play BB.
I know that it is hard to build a competitive team every season but i think that the main difficult is in initial phase, when you do not have good players but only young or untrained players and you have to lose many seasons to formed good players. After young players will become formed you can play with them and you can train new players with main calm without lose all matches.

- Focus on one high-performing generation at the cost of miserable seasons before and after. In this scenario, I'd suggest to start by training some future role-players that need to have good, balanced defense and solid passing, 2-position training mostly, while scouting the draft for your future franchise players. Once you draft 2-3 potential franchise players, go all out on them with single position training to turn them into the stars that can carry the team to success. Once these stars get old, start again with role players.


This solution could have main possibility of success but i'm afraid to lose enthusiasm playing BB, as I said above.


- (not really homegrown: I'm considering to give up on homegrown once my star players become mature and surround them with players from the transfer market for a short push for glory. Ah, it is so tempting... )


This is not a good news... I don't like to lose an Homegrown team...

Maybe it also depends on the size of the community. In my country only the top league is full of human managers, division 2 is mostly bots, but to be competitive in division 1 would not be possible with the "continuous" approach. These things may look different in a large community.


I agree.
My opinion is based on my personal experience.

I have those 3 players from tutorial, and all other 10 are my drafts. Do my team counts as homegrow?

Dear friends, I would like to publish merchandising data for home made teams. I hope that other users, by reading the earnings stats, can become home grown teams, and increase our family.

To do this I need your help!
Each team should indicate whether has purchased arena designs, team infrastructure and other information to help other managers, as National player or leader stats in his serie.

I am in IV serie of Italy and this week I earn 60k of merchandising - 2M building extension about a year and a half ago - 4-0 record - 5th leader score, 6th rimb. and 3rd assistman.

If you answer me numerous I will open a new topic.
