I thought the new teams were supposed to get one good player. I've got nothing but absolute dogs on my team. Only one player even makes $3k. Is a $3k player supposed to be good? If so, I'm very disappointed.

Oh, and his potential is "allstar". That is definitely not a good player.

There is something called the draft: Invest into it. For the time being, the prospects on your team should prove sufficient.

Been playing since season 11. I understand draft. What I'm saying is there was a recent "promotion" if you want to call it that, that said a new approach was being taken with new teams, giving each new team 1 quality player to begin. I got a 6' 6" "allstar" PF making $3K a week. That is not a quality player.

While I'm complaining, lol, where the heck is Utopia. Ive trained a number of players for US U21 team and thought I could to that with this team, but apparently not. This team is in Utopia (which actually means 'ideal world' or some such thing, and that sure ain't true). This second team thing is pretty disappointing.

You'd get a quality trainee not the MVP of the league.

each new team will be awarded a high school star player to go along with the usual collection of mismatched scrubs that fill out a roster. The prospect -- which we like to refer to as a “Franchise Player” -- will be an eighteen year old with all-star potential.


Re Utopia: You can still do that but you'd have to buy the USA trainee as opposed to drafting them.

Thanks for finding that. I guess it would be wrong for every new team to get a perennial allstar. A 6'6" PF doesn't enthuse me, but it is within the parameters.

6'6 AS talent, with a "PF" build, sounds like the good building blocks already for a SF if you trained him.

His JS JR OD and Driving are all really bad (pitiful to mediocre range). I can make him a SF but he'll never be a top player. 20 bumps just to get those 4 to strong. It's probably what I'll do though.

He may never be a top player, but he can still draw in merchandise for you as a homegrown player, and he can still be an effective cup/scrimmage player and backup at higher divisions.

Its not so easy to get to the NBBA either where you would need a top player.
