Focusing training on centers and guards is a bad idea, as they train different skills.

I would make a decision to train inside or outside players, and train skills accordingly from there.

Of course, a week of training FT or Stamina for the whole team doesn't hurt now and then either.

Ah. I see. I misunderstood how training works.

OK, I'm completely lost. I assume you're 'supposed' to lose early on, but I'm losing much more than your average bear. I even lost by nearly 50 to a team that started after me. Amy I just an idiot? Someone take pity and take a look at my games.

What do I need to do to improve? How does Take it Easy and Crunch Time factor into games? I'm playing most games normal.

Do I ahve to try players at different positions to "see how they do?"

I'm getting a little frustrated.

Take It Easy and Crunch Time are the PIC & MOTS of BB, except they effect all of your ratings, as far as we know.

You should review your player's skills, and use them in a manner that would make sense for each position, as the Best Position, while a good guide, isn't always what you want to use.

Like HT, training will be a big part of improving.


If you have more detailed questions, please BB-mail me.

Don't get down, I just started and have lost my last two games by 30 and 20 points respectively, despite different lineups and tactics.

Is there somewhere to see what the current team spirit level is (or whatever they're calling it in this game?). And is it similar to HT in that a better trainer will be able to hold TS longer?

Also, out of curiosity, what level trainers and PR guys do people have? I have a level 10 trainer and a level 3 PR guy. I'm probably pissing away money on my trainer ($23k per week)..

You lose because your players are a bunch of Shrimps!

Indeed. Not all of us can get lucky enough to start in III as one of the big boys.

It's on the Orders page for your next game.
