Xarn: Do u have stats for all draftees?

IMO, no one answered the question :(



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.

If you put 3 players out there i know it lets some fans get in, but im not sure if you play less than that

X - you are right. For instance, I put all my unknowns ahead of 19 yr olds. I got Steve Moore in the 2nd round as an unkown. You can get lucky - but don't count on it. I have a 19yr old this year who I am putting near the top of my list this year because he has a 5 rating and 5 potential with an A+ grade ..(I have never had that before and want to see what it is) but I still have two 18 yr olds in front of him with lower ratings/potential. That extra year of training is killer.

Did you find the answer?

I'll be honest, I'm lazy. I didn't read through the whole thing.
