BuzzerBeater Forums

hey fellow buzzerbeater players. I'm brand new to this game but my son was helping me out sort out my roster when I guess we found a really good player. It looks like he could sell for a lot but he also looks like a decent rookie so i dunno whether I want to train him or not. BTW i have a minimal trainer dude right now. Here's his stats:

Weekly salary: $ 5 993
Role: draws a paycheck
(BuzzerBeta)

DMI: 13800
Age: 18
Height: 7'0" / 213 cm
Potential: MVP
Game Shape: respectable
Jump Shot: inept Jump Range: atrocious
Outside Def.: atrocious Handling: inept
Driving: average Passing: awful
Inside Shot: respectable Inside Def.: respectable
Rebounding: respectable Shot Blocking: respectable
Stamina: mediocre Free Throw: atrocious

Experience: atrocious

Should I sell him and get more players or keep him and train?

let me put it that way: It's not guaranteed you'll ever get a playerwho is this good again. On the other hand, he's definitely a C, and for a DV team, those guys get too expensive very fast.

It's a hard decision, but if I was you, I'd sell him, and buy a good trainer, some more arena seats and three other 18yo guys (preferably guards) with a bit less potential for the revenue. Then train your new Guards for now.

If you need more help starting, just ask either here in the forum or per BB-Mail :)

in my opinion you must train him

But i only have a minimal trainer so I don't think he'd improve much. I'd almost rather sell him for a lot of cash to someone who understands the game better and can turn this guy into a U21 national player. I'd probably just ruin him.

if you decide to sell sell sell - invest your money.

buy a player or 2 that will help you win your league - invest the rest in arena.

invest 2/3rds of the money you get this season into your arena , promote and be happy.

as for people telling you to train , his salary is going to sky rocket quickly.

if you decide to train - train smartly

buy a lv 4/5 trainer - train his secondairy skills first for a season or 2

then pump his big man skills.

hopefully while investing in your arena and finding players to win/promote with.

stick with him and train him..it would a waste to see such great potential go..i suggest you get a good trainer and let it go from there..

didnt i just explain to u u cant cancel bids ? meaning ur a new player .

new players should learn the game before giving out advice :)

he wont be able to train this guy to his potential and keep him , his team wont advance/invest enough to be able support his guys wage let alone his team.

his much better of selling him , buying 3 18 yr old allstars and training them.

investing the rest in a good oldie or 2 to promote and put the rest into his arena.

as a new player you should prob be doing something similar

erm yea zyler is right most begging teams wnt have the resources to train a high potential player to their maximum
so its just better to sell them and get money to buy players that are old but good
and then worry about training a real star after getting promoted a few times :P

Get a level 4 trainer(they sell for 20k) and train him single position (your son can show you how) if you get his salary to 15k in 2 seasons, it is very likely that you will promote, and you would have more money then. also, if you train him, train his secondaries first (passing and handeling) to 4, because that will help keep his salary under control.

This type of player is very very special who has a chance to make the U21 potentially. You are brand new to this game so you need as many USABLE resources as possible to succeed and promote as efficiently as possible. This player could never be maximized on your roster due to your small reserves and resources so it is best for the country and your team to use him as a building block for your team for seasons to come by selling him. This player is most likely valued at excess of 1Mil and can create the foundation that the vast vast majority of teams are not able to create so quickly in this game. This player is your ticket to quick promotion into the next level by selling him and allocating the proceeds to bolster your roster all around.

You are in a low division, so you will not need that high salaried players to advance. If I were you I would sell this player asap and have the starting price at around 950000, sell him and buy a level 3/4 trainer. I would then determine whether I am going to train guards or bigs and purchase 2-4 allstar potential or so guys that match that position's height and skill requirements at 18 years of age. I would then fill out my roster with a bunch of older players who are valued less because of their age but will still perform quite well at a lower div. because of their skills and experience. The money left over could then be used to upgrade the arena by around 1000 seats or so and you will then be able to still make some money each week with some cash reserves too. You will then hopefully be able to promote within 1 or two seasons and gain even more cash in the promotion process.

so in essence what your roster would look like would be
-sell your player for around 1Mil or more and buy
-2-4 allstar potential or so trainees at 18 yrs of age
-3/4 other players with salaries around 6-12k filling out the rest of your roster
-lvl 3/4 trainer
-create a bunch of seats for your arena
-hopefully promote
