ye lol i know!

i overated it when i joined :( But ye i've learned a lot since then.

Just started out in Div 4. Looking for a mentor for the rest of the season to get the tips that only experienced players know of. Anyone available or interested? I'm a pay-it-forward kid of guy, more than willing to do the same for others once I've been trained. Really enjoying this game so far and it definitely has me hooked.

start off reading all of this.

The actual link to the guide is here: (144856.1)

fixed mine, forgot to make it a link.

I read the manual and the forum guide. It's pretty comprehensive. Keen for a few specifics and tips so I'll do what you said. Cheers guys.

Two vital things for noobs:

1) Make money
2) Train players

Less important is winning games - it comes with the other two.

To make money the first thing you need to do is get profits up and costs down. You have 13 players, you don't need that many. I would suggest sacking or selling about 2.
Victor Lupea (13090791) Point Guard looks like agrbage.
Valter Vidulić (16213814) Center is garbage.
Domenik Ahrendt (16213804) Small Forward is probably garbage.

Anyone who it says on their $ estimate is $10,000 or less should probably be replaced asap.

Next think about your arena prices. It looks like you are putting them up, good. You should have built some extra seats earlier. Maybe build just 2-4 luxury boxes soon.

Training

This is probably number one.
VERY SADLY you sold your most trainable player Jean-Marie den Adel for peanuts yesterday. This is a tragedy.
The only guys you have left who are even remotely trainable are

Connar Bragg (16213813) Point Guard
Weekly salary: $ 3 617
DMI: 9100
Age: 19
Height: 6'3" / 190 cm
Potential: star
Game Shape: average

and

Alan Wall (14844563) Point Guard
Weekly salary: $ 4 299
DMI: 15700
Age: 19
Height: 6'2" / 188 cm
Potential: allstar
Game Shape: respectable

and neither is very exciting.

You need to make some choices.
1) Will you do 1 or 2 position training?
2) what position(s) will you train?
3) Who will you train?

At least Bragg and Wall are both PGs, so maybe you could buy an 18 year old PG off the TL and add him to those guys. It is a start.

You MUST get at least a level 4 trainer. You can easily pick up one with less than a 20k/week salary for 20k or less.

If you respond I will send you some more ideas. Good luck.

hello all!!
you may remember me from my big man Stefano Arcuato!
i need some help getting my team along so i can start making some more money $.$ :D
i just want to make a successful top end div3 team and would need some help on how to best use my pf
can anyone help???

Well..mostly agree with this yoda....but the thing I don't agree with is that n00bs should focus on making money and training players and winning is less important.

At the very start every team should make a decision on what their priority is:

1) Train Players
2) Win games
3) Make Money

and groom their strategy to fit their priority. Winning games is an important priority as that helps a lot on the making money department. Promotion into higher leagues also gives you a huge boost in cash so winning games is an very important aspect of the game as well.

However there are tradeoffs. Having an win more games approach probably means your training regime is not going to be as good as others and vice versa where if you focus on training, you are probably going to lose a few more games by giving young players minutes.

Well how much are you making now?

From a quick glance at your roster, yes you may have an aussie U21 Center but your team is severely lacking in the guards department. My advice to you would be to save some cash and spend it on a good guard.

Oi bloke, youse are 6-1 and top of your league. Why do you reckon you need help? You should be giving advice not getting it.
