From my experience, if you're winning, that rating will gradually improve without needing any major transfers. My team has been basically set the past four months- I've acquired two players and sold two players, but both of the "familiar with star players" and "GM doing everything he can to improve team" have been at 4-5 stars every survey over the past two months.

Keep 6 guys and build the for the draft,( invest heavy in the draft).. fire the rest of those guys and keep 6 people..\ Don't worry about promotion this year. Get a good trainer and train your draft picks , or a star of your team to his maxx and hopefully things will work for you

as far fixing the basket ball rating .. Its a bit tricky,

I don't know if I want to keep six people cause that's a bit risky for game shape purposes. But I'm gonna cut down my roster to max 14, probably 12 or 13 players after I weed out the scrubs. I definitely want to invest heavily in the draft and I'm not getting promoted this year. I just want to build my arena up too.

Also, a question for anyone. Those messages that come up after you draft a really good player from the US NT scouts, should I pay attention to those telling me to sell my hall of famer potential guys? Cause I've done it in the past few drafts and they've ended up with scrub teams who don't train them at all.

Since this thread is now starting to become about improving your team, before you train rookies and invest in high level trainers, PLEASE build your arena. Large arenas are the hidden (but not so hidden) steroid on buzzerbeater for improvng your team. It is the primay source of income, and with a large income comes a good team full of good players that you can afford and make profit off of. A HIGH level trainer is not needed, and I'd say level 3 is quite satisfactory. I successfully trained a guard (who is now 56k salary) that played on the U-21 NT and I THINK the NT on my former team. Also, by investing heavily in the draft, how heavily are you talking? Improving your arena is much more important, since you can spend 40k a week and end up with some pretty crap players, but with arena improvements you can make more income as I said, and possibly buy the rookies yourself, where you have more "customization" and choices in a way.

I wouldn't really pay much attention to those notices. You sure can train one of those guys and ask the US NT owner or myself for some advice. If you get a good rookie with allstar potential or higher, go ahead and train them accordingly.

I wouldn't sell out for the draft, it is expensive and unless you have a top 3 pick you are going to need a little luck as there are only a handful of decent prospects in the draft. I would focus more on the transfer list as young players with around allstar potential can be found for 30K or less (as opposed to dumping 200+K into the draft) and be built into ~30K salary player, which can be pretty solid if you build a balanced player. More than likely a MVP or Hall of Fame potential won't do much for you right now, you'll either not fulfill his potential or he wil get to expensive for you and you spend all you money for one player.

I'm spending only 10k a week on it. But in Division 5, with all bot teams, no one concentrates on the draft, so I get the best guys.

Fair enough, that is how I got my trainee at the end of S21, but he won't really break into the regular lineup until S24. Being in D5, you may find a solid contributor. But if I were you, i'd find some decent 20-22 year olds for cheap who could see the benefit of some training. Be patient though, balanced players are more salary efficient and make it easier to exploit match ups.

As long as you're putting cash into your arena expansions, that's perfectly fine.

Thanks for all the help guys.
