This game is confusing

Hello.

Just wanted to welcome you to the league/game and to let you know that if you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask. It can be difficult knowing what to do at first.

The best advice I can give is to take it slow and build for the future.

Your arena should be top priority. It's how you afford to pay the players that you spend the next few seasons training up to be your studs. Buying old (32+) vets gets you some wins now, but doesn't help much down the road. Also, expect to lose most of your games this season. BADLY. Sorry, that's just how it goes starting up. We all went through it. But, hey, at least you'll be in line for a top pick.

On that note, I'd also invest $20k/week in scouting so you can look for a good player in next year's draft.

Hatcher is your best starting trainee. Pulliam MAY be a decent second trainee, but i don't know if his stats are high enough to warrant training. If you want to start training now, send me a message and we'll work on a strategy.

You have any more questions about anything, feel free to send me a PM or just post here in the thread, someone will answer ya. :-D And if you get bored, read the help forums. I learned a lot by just reading questions other people posted.

Here's a pretty good post here (278729.1) concerning spending your initial $300k that you might want to check out.

Hope my post didn't make you more confused. :-D

I sure did not play that game even close to right. Nice job just dominating my team.

Yeah don't feel bad. Pleasant team can't be beat. Going to be fun seeing the outcome of him and D-league. Those 2 are masters in this game.

If any of us is a master, it has to be Pleasant Team. This is only his 5th full season. This is my 11th. I should know what I'm doing by now. :-D

But yea, it should be a great game Tuesday night. I can't wait to watch it. Probably the game that determines home court in the finals. Well, if either of us get that far, of course.

Big 8 goes 6-2 in Day 2 to push it's lead to 11-5. Well done.

2 upsets again as #6 Huskies beat #4 Nawlins, and #5 Tech Titans defeat #2 Chicago. The only even seeded game also goes to the Big 8 as #7 Atlanta wins against the new team BK ProEra.

You have a good team but if you want to win more games, you have to use the most "powerful tool" in this game more often.

Are you agree with me Mark? ;)

AGREED!

Okay, so what do you deem the most powerful tool in this game?

Okay, so what do you deem the most powerful tool in this game?

Enthusiasm

Skills and game shape are very importants but....
Save some Enthusiasm in easy games and look how your player ratings improve and how improve your Def. and rebound.

Check our last game. "Tumbleweeds looked like the only team trying out there." and you just scored 42 points.
Why?? Because you had Enthusiasm = 5 and I had E. = 11.

:)

Yep. Enthusiasm is real important. A good plan is to run Take it Easy for every game you know you'll win (or lose) to build Enthusiasm, and Normal for the ones you have to win. Never run Crunch Time. It destroys (halves) your Enthusiasm, and can adversely affect your next few games

Inter-league Day 3 sees Big 8 again go 6-2. They now have won 17 games to just 7 losses.

3 upsets all goes the Big 8s way. #5 Flight & Skype routs #4 New Orleans by 31, #8 Sarasota defeats #6 Red Dragons by 8, and #6 Huskies beat #3 Tumbleweeds by 14. Big 8 also wins the only match up of even seeded teams as top seed Pleasant-Team beats the Dunkers by 8.
