For your stadium, I would simply watch your attendances in each seat category and when a category is getting close to sold out, increase the prices and be ready to increase the size of the section a bit down the track. You don't pay a weekly fee for the cost of the arena, so expand when it's necessary.

The key thing is that you need to watch your finances - if your arena is getting sold out, increase your prices but also look to boost your stadium. You need money to improve your team but if you don't expand your arena, you will cap your available arena income.

I gradually kept increasing my stadium by 500 seats or so and now have 18020 seats. Certainly demand will increase if your team is successful and your supporter base grows.

Ok, but the important thing is to keep the relative percentages of them the same? (i.e. box is 1% or whatever)?

Is training really random? Cause i am training pressure for PG and one of my guys popped in both driving and inside def but not in outside def. Is this normal?

Training isn't random. Your player must had high sub levels in driving and inside defense and a lower sub level in outside defense. Secondary training for pressure includes ID, Handling and Driving . Have u read the training speed threads in the help section?

I can't remember off the top of my head the optimum percentages but a lot depends on how your team is going. I think it's a case that your bleachers and lower tier seats depend on how your team is going and prices affect more your courtside and boxes.

Hi guys,

I just got my team a couple of days ago and was wondering if anyone could have a look and tell me what they think.

Thanks

Hi, i have just started up and would like it if you could have a look at my team, any suggestions to start with would be great

You have joined at an interesting time of the season. The playoffs start next week and at the end of the playoffs is the draft where u will get 3 new 18 year olds. The younger players are the faster they train so the draft hopefully will be kind to u. There is only 1 game of the regular season to go and the team you were given is in 4th so it might make the playoffs. The starting team u got is not bad as far as starting teams go iv'e seen a lot worse. Its a good idea to read the manual and help forums before u jump in spending as there are a few mistakes u can make when your starting out.

One of the most common mistakes is overvaluing potential. Teams see that they have a 23 year old with superstar potential on their original team and think he will make a good trainee. POTENTIAL DOES NOT AFFECT HOW FAST A PLAYER TRAINS it only affects what level he can be trained to before training slows. So if 2 players have similar low skills one is 18 and allstar potential the other is 23 with superstar potential the 18 year old is the better trainee because the 23 year old will never reach his full potential. Check your mail be easier to help if u can see the skills of your players.

Good advice :)

Overrating potential is a mistake i made early on in the game and i payed for it slightly but my team is gradually getting better.

Also i'd like to add something: don't trust the DMI, it is an incredibly ROUGH guide as to how good a player is, it also is greatly affected by the player's game shape. Generally especially at the beginning of a season when salaries have been updated its a good idea to check that as well. Like Aussie dude said the younger the player the better the train-ability but other factors such as Height come in to play.

Obviously if you have an 18yo with P.Allstar potential, if his salary is like 1k it means his skills are rather low. You want your trainee to have at least decent all round stats when you start so be mindful of that.

hopefully you get what i mean, its been a long day

DMI is evil. Look at a players's skills, age and height and make a decision from there.
