Option a) works, but you need to do at least 2 and preferably 3 guys at once. It works because starter-quality trainees are the most salary efficient players in the game, if you're training bigs then they'll cost you say $80k/week in salary but play at a $150k level in playoffs.

As the game matures, the only ways to promote will be a really well-done option a), or a really patient option c). I used to be pretty good at b) myself but with less money floating around and more savvy users in general combined with the high level of play in top US divisions, you can't climb the mountain with daytrading anymore.

For my part I'm impressed by the NBBA mainstays (Coco, wozz, SM, calum, Steve) who've been there for a billion seasons in a row. It's almost impossible to build a mainstay in an economic sim like this where someone is always flaring to the top with option c), I haven't got that part figured out yet.

Peluin is right about option a), but in my opinion you must train three guys who can play at the DII level and not hurt you too badly. I have been following this routine for a while, and I have profited quite a bit on some guys, for example (22971297) and lost a little on some guys (19675555), and I have also created several keepers (21550571). I am sure option b) and c) work fine, but option a) has helped me stay young, competitive, and profitable.

no trainees, small stadium, older players,

I consider those to be positives. Your problem was not having *enough* players IMO.

we never have figured out what you are doing -- my guess is music: your boys' day job is performing in a small classical orchestra or maybe doing Duke Ellington arrangements for weddings.

that recent Miami game -- where they came from 27 down to win -- got me thinking. as much as i like BB, i must say i have never seen teams come storming back from huge deficits to win a game. the only exception is when the dopey AI coach subs at the beginning of the 4th period and waits too long to replace the scrubs.

so i wanted to ask: does anyone have any stories of great comebacks (or, from the opposite perspective, having lost huge leads)?

Jelme had a ridiculous comeback vs. I think Postal one time, like 20pts in the 4th quarter. Might have been playoffs too. I'll try to find it.

Edit: can't find it, kinda tough since he quit the game. maybe I can catch him online and see if he remembers
for my team's part, they only blow ~10 pt leads in the fourth

I know it was only a PL game, but this is my best ever comeback.

I was down 8 with 27 seconds to go and Ritter buried three 3 pointers in the final 27 second, aided by a steal and a missed free throw to force overtime where I was able to win the game. The icing on the cake though was that it was against FatCurry and Lundy :) Ritter ended up scoring the last 12 points (four 3 pointers) in regulation for my team all in the last 40 seconds of the game. And to top it off, Ritter went 8/10 from the FT line in OT to help seal the win. Definitely would have been a March Madness worthy performance.

Wow I thought Ritter had a history of making me lose but that game is insane. 52 points against a 3-2 zone heads up with Lundy? 8-12 from 3pt? hahahaha ouch for Fatcurry
