BuzzerBeater Forums

Okay, first i would like to say that it may not be necessarily best to try to advance asap. When i joined buzzerbeater i started with a mediocre record my first full year and just continued to improve over the course of two more seasons. I used the first season to get a feel of all the tactics and training methods. From personal experience, which i believe im the top ranked team in div v and will win my division championship this weekend with a perfect record, i would play one full season with the same team you were given but buy one cheap but good trainee along with the players you draft after this year. Train those players through your first full season that way they will be great div v players without spending money on players. In your second season you can finally look to upgrade positions you havnt been training to get a solid starting five that could compete for a championship. Finally if you dont promote after your second season then go buy that player that would put you over the top to win you division. This method will leave you with a fairly good team that could compete in div iv right away i believe. Dont forget to build your arena either as that is a key to getting more money. Also get a good training plan. If you need help with setting a plan then dont be afraid to seek some help from other managers. This may not be the best method for everyone but i personally believe it is a good one.

Thats why i suggest taking the first year with what you have now to make money....fire/sell players till your down to your 12 best players and train the guards. Then after next season you will have money to buy players to compete. Your trainees will also be about $8000 salary as well so you could compete all around.

I'd suggest finding some guards to train, not only are they worth more to sell when they're complete, their salaries stay lower longer as well..

To add to that, 29-30 year old 50k big men sell rather cheap, but 50k guards still go for double what a big would go for. So financially, if you were building your team, its cheaper to train guards and buy bigs than training bigs and buying guards.

I would spend your money on a starting line-up of 6-8k salary players. Your back-ups should be around 4-5k salary. Buy one star bigman (Centers are arguably cheapest) around 10-15k salary and then train guards next season. When you train guards, get two or three good 18-yo from the draft and TL, and train OD the first season. After that, train JS the second season, and HN and PS the third season. I believe that would keep your budget under $300k, and you could make more money selling players that don't play, or aren't good enough for your team. I would sell all the players under 3k salary without a second thought, and some of the 3-4k salary players. That's just my opinion though. Hope it helps:)
