Anyone who can help and teach me what to do to reach div 3 and possibly div 2. tnx....

Get a lot of money, buy a couple 50-75k players and win the championship.

Expand the arena as Shaq said but also look for three 18 year old trainees next season. Either Guards or Big men and work with them for a season or two. Also if you do plan on training, then you'll also need at minimum an Advanced level trainer.

Look for Guards that are 6'4 and below, Allstar+ potential, and no lower than Inept in any of the first 6 skills (JS, JR, OD, HA, DRV, PA).

Look for Big men that are 6'9 and higher, P. Allstar+ potential, and no lower than mediocre in any of his primary skills (IS, ID, REB, SB). Also if he has higher than Pitiful in HA and PA then that's also a huge plus, the higher the better in fact.

Don't go wild buying people off the TL just yet either. You want to make smart decisions with all the money that gets thrown at you in the beginning, I wish I had.

Allstar+ potential

I suggest evryone be looking for a P..Allstar plus in each position, not just Big men, after draft you can buy P.Allstars for 10k and turn them to 350-500k people,......

Sure you can buy a player with perennial allstar potential potential for 10K, but not the right one. Plus if everyone is looking for the same potential he'll never find a good one to train without spending all of his money. Hence the advice to look for a "Allstar+" potential Guard.

Thank you for that. It is really helpful.

But, is there anyone who have an estimate on what should be the average player salaries to be a champion in div 3 and div 2?

That is tough question. First off there is good salary (well built players) and bad salary (not so well built). Thus you could have in D3 a team with only a 250k payroll be completely dominant. And other times you could see a team with a 330k payroll that has no shot. Also it depends on the league you are in, some leagues are much tougher than others to promote. I have seen D3 leagues that have a couple D2 quality teams that can't promote. Sometimes you see a D3 team promote up that really has no chance in D2. Take my team for example. When I first got to D2 I had no chance and had to figure things out really quickly. But it really varies from league to league what it will take to promote to the next level. But a good rule of thumb is this, if you are in D3 and you want to promote and stay up in D2 then you better be a D2 quality team from the start. This includes a money earning stadium of 15k plus in seats. And a roster that really is streamlined by receiving top notch team and individual ratings for as little salary as possible. That is really what you should be working towards, and it is something you can start working on right now. Find well built all around players for whatever level you are in. Trainees are a another great way to get better ratings than the salary you ate paying them, by the end of the season you could be paying a player 8k but in reality getting 15k in production. So value your trainees and how you are training them. Come up with a solid well thought out training plan. In summary don't become too concerned with how much salary it will take at a specific level, be more concerned with what team and individual ratings do I need to reach and what is the most effective and sustainable way to achieve them.

Thank you for your advice. :) I learned a lot....

Look at top teams in that division. You will have to beat teams like these in order to earn the promotion, so you need players that are a bit better.

I have the same question. I have been sitting in my division for quite some time. I had a decent squad last season (not this one) but I trained my star up too much, had to sell him, and was not near internet for 2 months, now my team is mediocre at best. Can someone help me so that I can be competitive again?
