Personally, I would entertain selling him off and taking your profit. From looking at your team, I didn't see anyone else that was really being trained for too long so you do have some disparity in your team. You may find it hard to stay up even with a monster like that because the other pieces can't reliably get him the ball.

It may also be uphill without him since you don't have many other highly skilled players, but you certainly have a better chance if you get the right trainees and the right pieces around them. Frankly, in the early stages of this game, your team's future success is all about maximizing profit and assets. As soon as something is going to turn unprofitable, they should be sold and your team should shift a little.

Ideally, your next adventure should decide what kind of team you will be in the next 2-3 seasons as you select additional trainees and adopt a training regimen.

Appreciate the input! Ideally i would like to have an up tempo push the ball type of team with good perimeter shooting. But it appears to me in this game thats bigs are more valuable so I'm not entirely sure

And I definitely agree with you about maximizing profits and assets seeming to be the best way to go early. However I find myself having a hard time figuring out where the line is to a player being unprofitable. And also would you have any input on what a good starting price would be? I'm clueless when it comes to that

If I were you I wouldn't sell him just yet. He doesn't seem unreasonably expensive for a D IV center. I think you'll get an attendance boost after promotion, and it may be advantageous for you to raise ticket prices. Personally, I would wait and see how the finances look in DIV before dumping a valuable player.

I would sell him. His salary will only increase from what it was this season. The balanced team approach is always better than then one superstar and the rest scrubs method. I would have actually sold him before this season, because you could have won your bot league without him and been making +50k a week. As for a price, it totally depends on his skills.

I love the size of your arena, but you must manage GS better if you want to make the most of your players.

I absolutely agree that I should have before this season. Hindsight is always 20/20. At this point though IM undecided and feel that waiting to see how the d4 looks is wise. I actually get frustrated with the arena haha, I put way too much money into it too early in my opinion. So how often do you train on GS?

I think you will come to the conclusion to sell. After this season when his salary updates, it will be around 90-100k+. That is way too much for a D.IV center. My personal opinion is to try and sell him before than updates happens. That way potential buyers will be attracted to the high big man skills without being scared away by a huge salary (which is coming after the update). Then they will be the ones going "100k a week! That's way too much!"

So how often do you train on GS?


Never. Just make sure your players don't play tons of minutes every week.

It told me unable to connect to BB server. Sounds cool though! Definitely worth looking into if it works
