Clarification to people,

I was hoping when I joined this game that I was iimmediately going to be competing with eveyrone who plays it.

I see now that that is not the way the game is designed to be.


The game is designed to allow beginners to compete from the beginning BUT this works only in big leagues like USA, Spain...

Reason is that in smaller countries you start in a league where teams already played a few seasons and have developed their players, arenas and so on. In my country the third league is filled with bots or inactives and the second league is filled with teams who have 5+ 10-20k salary players - the gap is just way too big.

If new teams would be put in weak leagues they could compete in almost nobody would waste time day trading imo.

IMO playing bots is not competing. That and I meant competing even with people who'd been playing awhile.
Honestly I don't see a lot of user control at this point in the game play. Its all simulated based on a few decisions from user.

Weird that a sim game should be simulated. The game is about managing a basketball franchise- arena, personnel, training, tactics, and economy. It's neither a first-person shooter nor a coaching simulator.

Once I scored a basket that still makes me laugh.

You know those games you play on your X-Box with your franchise? When you're disgusted with your team or don't have enough time, you'll sim a few games, right? Well, this game is just like that, except for the fact that you can actually SEE the simmed game.

All of the things the user can pick or affect are below:

Roster/Lineup
Game Shape
Offensive/Defensive Strategy
Enthusiasm
Attitude
How to Substitute
What to Do in Case of Fouls
... along with many other things.

People have been playing games against CPUs since gaming began. The fact that you can even compete against other real players is what gets people to sign up for this game.

Buy a player for a cheap price and sell him again for a higher sum.

Day Trading... Buy a player during low user times...I live in Japan and about 1:30pm there is only about 245 people on line(no one to compete with you)...Then you take that player and you have him come off at 2:00 am Saturday night when there is about 3000 people on-line..
For example... I bought a Level 5 PR guy( weekly salary 20,202) for 2000 dollars..at 12:34pm Japan time, at that time there were only 287 users online. The night before the same type of guy went for 168,000 dollars...Day time in Asia is like a gold mine... peace
