I agree with Kudou about the national players. If we want to have a stronger NT, we need to start training strong national players. We are a very small community, so we don´t have a lot of national players. I think that the few players we have should at least be competitive. I know that you don't want to sell your international players, and that is obviously not the idea, but training some national players will make our NT a lot better.

~ Best of Lucks to everyone!!

I don't think we have to worry about potential national players not being trained. Even if they have been sold off I'm sure the buyer is training.

We'll have to see if the potential NT players that come out of the draft get strong training.

Hi All,

Firstly nice to hear from some other managers here in Japan... i hope this is the start of a growing community!

Second my 2 cents worth on Base Offense and Man to Man.... i have to disagree that this is an easy tactic to beat. I strongly believe that GS is much more critical in big game matches... as the Game is still in the early stage tactics / best players are playing second fiddle to the random factor apart from in the games that are really lop-sided....

Anyway, the nice thing is we all have an opinion and this will be reflected in the teams we build ourselves.

I am looking forward to the draft and I hope this season I can help contribute to the growth of the NT. Even if it is a reserve!! I think we are going to be seeing the current spine of the team for some time to come and between Boomshakalaka and Dr.Fader the starting 5 look set up.

The team now has 6 open spots for anyone who thinks they have a player worthy of helping the squad...

I think the best thing we can all do is continue to experiment with tactics/players of any nationality and use this information on the NT. I am interested to learn if a more rounded player will outperform a more onesided player as this is where we can make a difference.

With a small community we have to make the most of the resources we have available and so when we have a talent(s) we should aim to maximise the return on them for both personal and national means...

heres to season 4! good luck to all....

I agree partly with the NT being trained here but we have only really had 4-5 managers play this game for 12 weeks now...(even Bulls manager quit it seems)

out of the managers that have stayed, Dr Fader is training big men... Boomshakalaka guards...so if one of them gets a draft pick out of position then they would probably be advised to sell on.... now if between the remaining managers 1 of us has the financial resources to buy then great but if not i think its safe to say the player will probably go to a team that will train him... i find if i have any NT player i want to do my best to keep them in the NT... my problem is i have a NT PG and a PF to try and train simultaneously!!! (but thats another story!!)

I picked up a decent (not NT worthy) center and a nice shooting guard. Looks like Puka got the best player in the draft. I don't have the funds to pick him up unfortunately.

I got in my opinion an awesome SF. I wouldnt swap for the Cowboys Center! Only downside is he is 19 (no-one has aged yet so i guess even the draft picks will go up a year as well....) I dont know exactly how he compares with the current NT players but he cant be far off.... so I will attempt to improve him in his 2 worse areas and make him at least a good 6th man option....fired my 3rd choice and the 2nd choice will be kept as a bench warmer!

Some players have aged, some have not yet - your draft picks will not age.

Firstly, a big thank you to all Nippon managers who have posted comments/advice and given feedback on the forums this season.
Congratulations to the Sharman Gobetrotters on becoming Playoff winners and to worthy runners-up Small Town Operators.
Next season promises to be another close encounter and I hope we can see some new talent join the NT.

Here he's:

He will be a great centre. Unfortunately i don't train centres, so he's on sale

yeah he is great......he may even have a chance of challenging the mighty Kaneko for a place in the team in a couple of seasons....

this year he can just clean his shoes and wait patiently!!

maybe i would swap for my SF!! but it is marginal!

Here is the SG I picked up: I'll deal him...for the right price. He is 18....
