yeah that make sense, but you actually are puting potential above age, you just didnt realize it, its only with players with close potential and performance that you put age over the other factors

Goodbye Jurgen Hinterwerth... We Hardly Knew Ye..

All I did know is that YE FOULED too damn much.. That tends to KEEP YE on the bench during important games!

LOL

Not a bad price for him though.. bid is already double what I paid for him a few months ago..

No, not really. known 19 year olds go to the bottom of the list with the hopes of catching an 18 year old.

Well, underneath the highly talented 18 year olds and the unknowns. They are ranked ahead of the 18 year old known scrubs.

No. I have a "rating" on 19 players. I have a rating, grade, potential and age on 4 players. I invest 5k all season.

I answered it as best I could and I admit that my rationale may be flawed.

#1) Age - I want a kid who is 18 rather than 19.
#2) Potential - I want a kid who can be somebody
#3) Grade/Performance - I attempt to use the game line to determine if a player has strengths or weaknesses.

Additionally, I am a gambler. I will put all of my completely unkowns above anyone who is not 18 and doesn't have at least 4 balls of potential. That didn't work out for me so well last season which is why I went ahead and put in the 5k investment.

Player1 Star Rating 5 Grade Rating a Potential5 30min 3-8 7pts
Player2 Star Rating 3 Grade Rating * Potential* 22min 8-12 20pts

why does player 2 have a lower Star rating?

.........

I understand your rationale..
I usually look at age last however .

Ive notived in my drafts when i gamble and put my unknowns ahead of even 3 ball rated players it doesnt end up being worth it, but then again i have never invested in the draft so i dont know know very much about most of the players so i can't rule out as many players and its more of a gamble

Hey, quick newbie question. If I don't put enough players on the court for my scrimmage this week, do I lose out on training?

My guys all have so many minutes this week. With the 2 injuries, I only have 1 player who hasn't played at least 48 minutes.

I think some lucky fans will play if you don't have enough players.
