I came over from Hattrick, too. I probably started HT around the same time as you. I also love BB - I find it more complex than HT but not too complex.
I just started BB so I don't want to say too much. However, decide which position you want to train 1st. Do you want to train guards, small forwards or big guys? Each has a different set of skills and will train differently.
Also, be aware that multi-skills are really important in BB. The game slows down training if you try to go single skill only.
