Which all of them lol. I knew that but thanks for the other advice. I agree with that because guard trainees are easier. I am going to try and sell one player because even though he is 21 he is a HoF potential, I figure I might sucker someone into buying him.

Since I'm already in IV will I never get a bonus for promoting back into IV?

I would advise the opposite than the first answer.

Start already to build your arena. Bought some trainees, not a lot, season's end is near, so you'll better off waiting for your own draft and the next generation just after the draft. No need to jump onto old veteran with high salaries, you have good chances to be demoted at the end of the season and next season opposition will not be that hard while incomes will not be that high.

When and if you get back in D4, you'll receive the bonus for promotion.

So my advice, take it easy during this season, wait for the next one, start building your arena, reduce your costs.

Absolutely. In the long term, if your ambition is to make it to the upper levels, you'll need an arena suitable for that. Whether you buy the seats now or later, barring a change in the game, it will cost the same amount of money overall, but the sooner you buy them, the sooner you can start repaying the investment. Which is not to say that one should jump to a 20k arena as soon as possible, but definitely one should prioritize the arena investment over buying players that will play a few seasons and sold/retired at a loss.

Whoa! I'd only get one high vet at the start of the season, so the prices are smaller. Then, get some cheap vets. I did that and now they are a pretty good fit in my team. Then, get two good trainees with (if you have any) the others from the draft.......make sure that they're abbout the same position, because training is hard these days. Try and buy only two positions (scoring=PG,SG, all-around player=SF inside=PF dunkin=C) THen build your arena. But get the players to win SO YOU can build your arena. DO both.

Thats basically what I told him to do because thats what I did and it worked quite well, but then the bigshots came and blasted my idea to mars.

Well, how about we help him. Team work.

Ok, 300k + four $ bonuses= 500k ( after a month.) Wait to do anything! Let yourself grow $ If you do that you'll be about 650-700k. Got it. Wait till the offseason. YOu could get 2 or maybe even 3 big guys with 15-20k. Build your arena. THen, at the snap of the fingers, you'll be a contender.

Great advice,here's a +1,I might add the importance of getting guard trainees,and if your going to have a big men themed team you can train guards faster and get more money when you sell them enabling you to get more bigs.

Why get three 15-20k big men when you can promote out of V with guys around 8k salaries? Heck, I only had one 20k player while I was in IV and got out of that just fine.

Whether you buy a seat in the arena today or in four seasons it will cost you the same amount, but the sooner you buy it, the sooner it starts paying you back. It is highly unlikely that the 15-20k big man a new team acquires will ever be sold for the same amount again, and it'll cost the additional salary to pay him each week.

It really comes down to what your goals are. If the plan is just to get out of V, that's fine, but if the goal is to progress further than that, it's crucial to remember that you can only advance as far as your infrastructure will support. Early seasons should be heavily focused on building the arena and on creating the trainees that become your future core of your team, and then what is left over can be spent wisely on acquiring relatively cheap, low-salaried players who are well rounded enough to perform nicely.

Yup, just looked at hs team. He has Andres Chavez as his best trainee. Oh, and I guess 1 15-20k man, and then get 9-14k guys. But they still have to be somewhat awesome. But he has to get Chavez trained. I think he could carry that team. What do you think, hrudey and Jack?
