therefore you should look at what you need for next season. if you train C/PF and your PG/SG/SF positions suck then draft a A+ player with a 5-star rating in those positions. if you want to train players and buy a player with skills you can see in the transfer market then start to weigh what is too low for a star rating/grade rating. i'll be working with the second option since training players brings in more money on the transfer market.

Interesting option:
SG - 5star A+ 4star potential (sucked at his game)
SG - 5star A- 4star potential (did pretty good at his game)

Who would you guys pick?

Oh, and I agree with the guy that said the level of the draftees seems to be higher.

I scouted 34 players. 14 5 stars and 9 4 stars.
Seems like a lot.
I recall last season having scouted something like 9 5 stars, and I spent way more money on scouting last season.

Cross-posting this from the NBBA forum:

Only criticism for the new draft system is that if you're going to call a player in for a training session, that they be better than 2 or 3.

I have potential info on 11 players and 5 of them were rated 2/3 before coming in for team training. Kind of a waste. Even better would be if you got to choose the few that could be called in for training.

i would pick the first. BB is very weird with its ratings. i have a proficient inside scorer who only gets about 13 points per game. plus from a scouts perspective if the player has that good of ratings then 1 game doesn't tell the whole story. of the information we have it seems that the star/grade/potential ratings are the sure information whereas the game info is more of a gamble to rely on.

I feel the same way.

I just don't know, however, how big a difference is there from an A+ player to an A- one.

I remember that my A+ draft had a salary 4500 and A had 4000 (or very slightly more)

i have 2 point guards in my draft pool that have the same star rating and the same potential, but one is an A player while the other is an A-...that might mean 1-2 skills difference, but that can't be confirmed until after the draft.

and I'm sorry that I have to put this think wrong, but on BB depends even on other preferences not just on a main skill

Seems like a lot.

I scouted 28 players (9 of 'em two times) and only two of them are 5 stars ... Including one with a two star potential. So no I don't agree, the level of the draftees doesn't seem to be higher, it's just random.

OR....if the number of stars are just remotely similar across the leagues, then you should rank your non-scouted players high, seeing that they must be good.
I wouldn't hesitate to rank all the non-scouted players above the 3-star players if I was you.
