Hi all, relatively new user to the game, really enjoying playing and slowly building a squad/bankroll/training with hopes of progressing in the future.

I have made some questionable transfer decisions I guess it could be said in that I may have been better served developing/tanking than splashing cash on players who may not be in my 'plans' down the road.

Anyhow,

I have assembled a team which is pretty good for my league IV.8 ... I was wondering .. what sort of offense should I choose whereby the PG is very attacking and typically makes most of the offensive decisions, I want my PG to be haing 8-9+ Ass/Game consistently... and whereby alot of picks and screens are set in the offense? Is there such a thing? Any other advice anyone could offer is appreciated and taken on board.

Thanks boys and gals.

And I may be being daft, but where is it that I can find how my players are rated with a number? Cannot seem to find the tab anywhere.

Thanks.

Hey mate,

Come to the Australian forum - we'd be more than happy to help you out - http://www.buzzerbeater.com/community/forum/read.aspx?folder=47

And if you're interested in the numbers, you can either hover your mouse over the player's skill level (i.e. prominent, strong, mediocre) or go to the 'set your lineup' page for any game - if you're on Rookie setting, it'll have the table there - on veteran or all-star setting, it'll have a little link underneath the map of the court that says "Show/Hide Skills Table" - click that.

I have been training outside shooting pretty much for my best player. Have just switched to rebounding in an effort to develop a couple of young PF's/C's.

In your opinion is there any way or cycle or pattern that is best for training? A type of trainee that I should look to have and train?

My best players are my SF, PG and C, with my SF being my most promising player in that he is 21. I have read different things about the merits of focusing training on players older than 20/21/22. Have you any thoughts on this.

Thanks again for your thoughts.

Few points.

1) Unlike reality in this game the best tactic is to just train three players and never train the others at all. Ok slight exaggeration but close to the truth. David Waring is a 19 year old 6'1" superstar drafted by you, while he may be way behind where he could be you can still make him a great player. Get a level 4+ trainer and just train pressure for PGs or passing for PGs. Make sure he gets at least 48+ minutes every week playing as a PG. You could also train Gene Darvey and one more player. For PG training the younger and the shorter the better.

2) There are three obvious passing offences that feature the PG heavily, motion, patient and princeton. Just read up on them in the manual. If two of your three best players are your PG and SG then go with motion.

3) You are in trouble this season with Wizards Warriors looking very strong. I doubt you can beat them and you wont have a good enough record for a bot promotion so I would try to save money this season and aim to try and win next season, unless you have some solid reason for thinking you can win.

4) Your arena sucks! Good to see you are building it now. Arena = $ = long term success.

5) You need a bigger roster. Just add a couple of VERY cheap players fro the weekly scrimmage and it will help everyone's game shape and minutes.

6) Ask more questions!

You should get 3 trainees with at least allstar potentail. Perferably Perrenial allstar potential. that are 18/19 YO. Do this at the beginning of next years season, becuase after the draft, young players are always cheap. make the maximum height for gaurds 6'4, perferably shorter and mimimum height for big men 6'9. also make sure that they have good starting skills. Then train the same players (3 gaurds or 3 big men) for at least the next 3 seasons. after thse seasons, they will all be quality starters in d. 3. and you said that you just swiched to rebounding? dont do that. stay with the same players for a long time.
