I totally agree with Martin tho. It is much nicer to play BB as it should be. By putting afford on building up ones team and not spending all time on trading. That's all! Like a good fellow Dutch guy, who's playing also, mentioned to me onces. It will take time for a team to build and it is much more fun building it.

The real reason to start this thread is to let people know/realize that BB it's a game to for people who wants to put in time and effort to build and not a game for some speculators (traders) to boost up the prizes....
I'm sure that there are other online investment games than BB.

Cheers,
Gustave

I started playing after game one of last season. Got my team sold some players and bought a few new ones. Changed my training regime after getting my new trainees which two where good (I won the league and playoffs so I pulled last) and lost my two first games after promoting to div II. Now top of the conference and looking to build from there.

Sometimes I think, sometimes I don't

You just described the profile of any player that wants to play a manager style game. If the newbie starts BB and thinks it's too hard because it takes too much time to build a strong team he will feel the same with all manager games. If they want something quick and that doesn't take much time just play the regular "you control the players and edit their abilities as you wish" games.

The only problem for newbies, and I can say that because I am one, is that the only way for a newcomer to get profit is to sell good players, and with the inflation, due to the game being new and all, it's hard to buy good trainees...

I started in the middle of last season, my team was really old in average. Only in the start of this season I got to buy some trainees and not good ones, just average. And that because I sold my best old players from the last season.

As you all can see I started last season myself. I got promoted thanks to the fact that of "bot-sweeping".

Now I'm competing in the Dutch 2nd division. And So far so good, I would say.

Thanks to all the people who shared their precious opinions about how a newbie CAN play the game. I really glad.

Thanks.

I have not sell bought players that much...

Think it is very easy to kepp up with the economy, as long with the TV games you increase your account a bit.

then after first player sell you get a lot of money.

wait, and have patience...thats the main skill you have in manager games....LA Lakers wasnt builded up in 3 months

Well, I think the problem is you have no good prospects. If you do training right you can get some decent money. As you can see, I've made 1.3 mil over the last one and a half seasons. If I didn't buy new, better prospects, I would have made even more than that (roughly 2 mil). Now, I have 1.3 mil in the bank and 3 good prospects. There's no need to DT.... I could upgrade my other players but atm, there's no need to.

I guess you're right. Like I said before, my team wasn't ready for a higher division yet. And last season I didn't spend much on Scouting (you know, newbie) , so my draft wasn't that good. Plus the fact that I still don't really have a full proof training program yet, maybe you have some idea's for that......

Well, I 've played a few manager games so I sort of already had a feel for this sort of stuff. For training, you want to get some good, young prospects. I don't know how much money you have, but you'll want to sell all your older useless players and instead buy the maximum number of prospects you can train. You can train big men or train guards--it's up to you. I'd say training big men is easier since there are less skills to train but I think training guards is more profitable.
