I guarantee you, 1 season 1 promotion...till DII, without a doubt.

The fact that Torooo took 3 seasons to get out of Brasil III, I would put money on you not accomplishing that in USA III.
Besides, the point is moot when you cannot get a USA team.

I have a couple of questions, and as I'm only a little over a season old here I recognize that I don't have that much experience, but here is what comes to mind:

1. Why does everyone assume he won't be able to afford to keep him? Building a HOF player steadily and balanced won't drive the player into a triple digit weekly salary for quite some time, right? If a team is smart, wins games, builds up their arena, and trains a balanced Hall of Famer for the first 4-5 seasons, by that time they should be in Div III at least, and can be making the type of weekly income to afford him. Is this way off base?

2. A million dollars is nice. Two million dollars is nicer. However, having the luxury to train a signature player exactly how you want to with no concern for capping out in the next decade (in Buzzerbeater terms) is pretty darn nice, too. You can make money in other ways besides selling your best prospect. Most people talk about selling him like it's an obvious choice, but I don't think it is.

There are many friendly and talkative people that offer advise on these forums, but everyone who has a IV. something, V.something, or IV.something under their team's name means that they have no credibility (outside of the very very very rare instance where a team has purposely relegated after a long run in division II)

I'm from division II. But I'm from a micronation, so I'm actually from the second last division, that would make it a div IV. I guess I don't really have much credibility ='(

Correct.
Apparently you have to be a USA Division III level team with a losing record, like Valubadag and his Tornado Turtles, to have credibility here.

You sure can, Valubadag. You sure can.

This thread is about OP's question and not about who is more/less experienced player. If you'd care to look, you'd see OP never posted anything outside of original message.

BB is a game of multiple possibilities, so there isn't one predefined way on how to do it. If he sells his HoF trainee, he might get a jumpstart on his Arena and whatnot, but after 2-4 seasons he might regret selling that dude. Such trainees don't come by that often, and especially not for free.

So if you've got something to write about, please keep it in theme with OP's question.

Hello,

Sorry I am too late in this. Lot of debate about legit advice.

Let me tell yo uthis: Noobs line up by the 100s to give bad advice. These people exist all over the net. SOME of them could know what they are talking about. The point is they aint proved it.

So some advice for you from a legit worldclass trainer.

Bad advice is not limited to noobs. HOWEVER, I do see that you admit that some may have a clue, but don't have the credibility. Just saying and not directing specifically at you Wolph. Or at Valduabag/ VD-bag, whatever his name is either.

Just a generalization that bad advice can indeed come from anywhere.
