I will never train a player with a potential under "all star", I'm sure about that now


Talk about leaping to conclusions based on no knowledge of what is to come, LOL!!

You do understand that "about 20% of draftees" means only 9-10 per season in each league and that a good team such as yours may not even get one of these players in a competitive league draft?

I doubt very many 'all-star' potentials will hit the TL and the price will be beyond the means of a mere DII team such as yours.

There are many more facets of this new system that I can think of that will effect my draft/training decisions, far too many to speculate about without seeing my new draftees.


lol :)

I have 3 trainees which will be all stars in future - so for my 1 phase training they will cover my capacity... and if I will get down one of those - only for a player which will have the same or better potential, because I'm not stupid, that's all

how can we know if the player has the potential we see

I interpret Charles' sentence differently than you. The potential we see it the correct potential. But if you keep on training a 'bench warmer' beyond his potential (thereby with slower training) you can still improve the player's skills and prove the scout that that player could be more than to just 'a bench warmer'.

The question is how often will be scouts wrong - if I understand well, the player can reach his potential and then "show" to you that he is an "all star" or whatever, this is a good solution if it will work by this way - in the training could be a risk factor, nice

the point exactly, the question from me.

if im paying 2 players with almost the same salary, having one a better "potential" than the other, how can i know. because if my starters are already there and they are like going to the future and needs training. then its good though your wasting much time and resources.

but if your in need of player when can you see, with the slow training process thats going to happen now since right now we are still in the accelerated training process.

if this leaves us a player who takes 2 seasons to be sensational comapre to someone who can be sensational after a season but started as much lower skills then i would hand it to the bad pick and develop him.

I wonder what the denominations and distributions will be. Maybe:

Bench Warmer- 50%
Starter (?)- 20%
All star- 15%
MVP (?)- 4%
All time Great- 1%?

You are on the right track, however, the starting level of skills will also make drafting players more than a 'potential' lottery. For example, will a player with 'all-star' potential but without any primary skills currently higher than INEPT be a better selection than a 'Sixth man' potential but one who starts out with RESPECTABLE in two primary skills? He could get to his max much faster and be a salable commodity much faster than the 'all-star' potential guy. Plus, he'd be able to contribute to lower level teams, too.

So let's wait about whining (for Americans) and whinging (for Brits and so forth) and wait to see what the draft brings.

If there is one good thing I've learned about BuzzerBeater, it is that the developers are eager to improve the game. That I can live with, even if they stumble along the way.

Well said and I agree. Now fix the injury system. ;)


In my opinion injury system is very good developed...
