That deserved a +1 A1R, lol.

Welcome to the game.

I just looked at your roster and you got a nice looking pull to start off with.

John Thorton and Everett Kurtz are definite keepers. I would start a training plan for those two guys and throw Aquilera in as your third trainee.

Start playing each of these games at PG an entire game (48 mins- the game manual explains how to do this) and train Pressure the first few weeks until you get comfortable setting up line ups and figure out what you want these guys to be for the future.

E.Kurtz might be a SF or G prospect for the NT in the future if trained well. I think building a NT SF would be a great endeavor... they seem frustrating but they can have manageable salaries and a ton of skills and are very rare because of this. But you'd have to take to an NT scout about all that.

I'd suggest cutting your roster down to between 11-13 players today so you don't have to pay the extra salary tomorrow morning (it's not a bunch but every dollar counts).

When you get ready to find supplementary players you would probably be looking for players you aren't training so a good scoring SG/SF, a couple of bigs to anchor the middle... and you don't want anyone with excessive salary... i have a 20k limit in D5 myself as I have research and that's around where it seem to be a big dip in the returns for those player... and extra 10k a week tends to get you about a .5 rating push.

But for now it would be best to just run with your 11-13 Americans at least until the all star break... this is because the market will start filling with low cost veterans you could pick up to fit in with your squad. Some will be overpriced but this game is all about patience, you'll find a couple of good players then for well below the market price.

Alright I'm done lecturing... and again welcome to the game and get that 6'6" MVP looked at for the NT.

some tips to help you:
1. manage game shape well
2. pick an offense and focus on acquiring players for that offense
3. decide if you want to sell your 18 yr mvp for a lot of money and use the money to buy cheap, effective players; or train him and the 18 year old perennial allstar - but you will need to buy a level 4 trainer (preferably with fitness specialty)
4. read rules on training - every minute to 48 minute and every week counts

good luck and most importantly, win or lose, enjoy the game.

um what if he buys some 31 yr old vets? well good thing is he's not in a monster conference like V.89 Great 8 (whew!) that means he can purchase some good 27 yr old 9kers.....and hopefully your right about the cheap part. but the bolded part is...........for later on, Like what if he buys some vets? wouldn't he need a career extension? and anyways can't you train stamina in short wks?

You could train stamina in short weeks, but when your trainee is young, it's hard to waste even a single week of training.

Better to use short weeks for 1v1/JS/RB training.

Then, if your trainees need stamina, or free throw training, train those when they are done with their other skills. ST and FT training aren't affected by age, nor by trainer level. So, bunch all that training together, use a cheap, low level trainer.
