When does the softcap of the potential take effect?
Because, should I be looking for MVP 19YOs as opposed to Allstar (i.e. for a new player is the increased value worth the returns)?

Soft cap for MVP is about 195-230k and for allstar its about 43-65k. So an allstar can still become a good player but would cost a lot less to get on the transfer market.

Yeah thats the estimated wage soft cap according to potential. Training slows when it gets near those levels.

The higher potential will mean a player can obviously get to higher levels but MVP potential players are rare and the good ones cost a lot of money which will be out of your range probably. I think up to potential all star would be affordable and you could train them up to a decent level. You can still get a lot of training done on the players at that level before the training slows down.

ahh.... I understand now. That is quite high a wage, so I guess I need not worry about that until my players become much better (in seasons to come). Right now, Allstar/Star will be good enough to pick up on the TM and train. Thank you both.

Wow this is by far the best players I have ever seen on a startup team. It is so random.

Josh Dowd (12525993) Shooting Guard
Weekly salary: $ 6 453
DMI: 13800
Age: 18
Height: 6'1" / 185 cm
Potential: superstar
Game Shape: respectable

and the other guy is an 18yo 4k mvp!

One of my friends just started and his best trainee was like 18 p all star 3k. Value about 50k.

Either of those guys would sell right now for 1/2 a million at least. Why not sell one get 2 average trainees, a great trainer and some top big men? Your team would be instantly good!

I guess i got lucky to get 2 very good players when starting out. I thought about selling either or both of them to get lots $$ and buy a great team, but thought it would be more fun to train them myself. My team is pretty bad at the moment, hopefully i get a good / great draft pick at the end of the season who i can sell to get some decent big men cause my current ones are horrible.

Yeah everyone usually starts with with a bad team and has to gradually develop it. The bonus for u is that u don't have to outlay money for a bunch of trainees. Which means u can spend all the money u do get on getting better big guys.

I won my first televised road game. How important is this to the fan survey? How will it affect my team in the next game considering I used 'crunch time'. Their enthusiasm level dropped from 5 to 2. There are 3 more days till my next game. Is there a chance that my enthusiasm will improve before then?

Thanks in advance.
