Funnily enough I was actually thinking of doing one of these episodes on the NBBA and how it is/how it will change and you were the person I was thinking of talking to about it.

I would like to point out though that you can one position train three players and thereby create three NT level prospects at once hypothetically. See Funky Town Fire and even Hrudey though I doubt his players will be NT material.

thanks for the response.

You bet.

i'm no expert on training, but can one reach NT levels with two-position training?


I doubt it. Other than 1-on-1/reb and so on, one position training is the way to go. I've been training my current trainees with a lvl 5 trainer, something I now regret, as I've failed to train them to the NT (lvl 7 is the way to go). I envisioned a team of 5-6 USNT players for my current roster.

i suppose if you save the kind of money you anticipate, then maybe train one NT player, buy a second -- but where and how do you fill out the squad?


My next rebuild, I intend to train two, maybe three top lvl NT players. Then, with money saved up, I plan to fill out my starting rotation with more NT players. That's my goal.

The rotation of the future NBBA squads may include some players that now are found in DIII. I just think we should adapt ourselves to a future that has successful teams with much lower overall talent levels than today -- and those that have developed their own stars will possess major advantages.


Absolutely, you very will may be right. The way this economy is going, there may be much fewer amounts of managers capable of filling out a D1 roster with quality players. Though, I disagree we adapt to lesser talented teams/leagues. Training, along with a proper rebuild is the way to succeed in this poor economy.

I think you are 100% correct, and I think this is what is causing the eventual downfall to the game. Buzzerbeater was attractive to me because you could succeed by numerous innovative strategies in the past. Now to be truly successful, the only strategy that seems to work is a cycle of training and rebuilding. This makes the game much more boring.

there are so many good players from the history of this game which have been trashed. Shirley, there must be a way we can retrieve them? maybe go Freejack and pluck them at the apex and place for open bidding from $1.

If my players ever end up being NT material, that'll be the surest sign of the decline in talent level in the player pool.

These things are a decent read.


I can't speak for Chekreyes, but I know my goal is to have "for a very mediocre time, call GM-hrudey" written on the walls in the ladies' restroom.

Well that's better than what I've seen them write about you in the mens.
