Hello Walks-a-lot.

Welcome to the game. I am by no means a terrific manager, but here is my suggestion:

Sell your player, but start at $1.4m. Put your player onto the transfer list on Monday or Wednesday (so that he will sell on either Thursday or Saturday). Remember to post a transfer ad for him (under community -> forum -> new ad).

Then change the prices and use some of the money to build up your arena.

This is going to give you a terrific head-start that most of us never had, so take your time to learn the game before rushing to spend that money.

Good luck and enjoy!

where abouts did i say to mono train the guy ?

Ok, so he'll become too expensive to keep when?

its not utter horse dung at all

mvp players potential means the cap at what 200 k plus even on highly balanced players ?

I'm sorry; is this a question?

so his team is going to be able to support and train a player to that potential before

a, he gets too old

b, he becomes too expensive too keep.

a. yes
b.yes.

the fact you think he can train the guy to his potential and keep him without majorly upgrading his arena and promoting is utter horse dung.

Where did I say he didn't need to expand his arena? Where did I say "Div. V is great, stay there forever?"

as i said his much better off selling the guy , getting 3 18 yr old allstars / p allstars
upgrading his arena , and bringing in a few oldies to help promote.

Is he better off? Maybe. Will he regret selling him 6 seasons from now? Probably.

So that's the hangup, the full potential? Because he could likely train him for six or seven seasons without the guy ever capping out. And how many MVP+ potential players are trained to their "full potential" anyway? 10%?

im not totally against the way your suggesting i just dont think its whats best for his team in there current form.

It costs him nothing to train the guy, and no, it may not be the best idea, but his merch income will thank him for many seasons to come if he trains the kid.

yer thats the hang up.

i dont see the point of him training him when he could get three players just as good with less potential and train them.

to me 3 good players beats one good player who didnt and wont hit his potential .

which then begs the next question what brings in more merch

3 good players not from your own draft or

1 good player from your own draft.

id say the 3 personally.

also with the three good players his more likely to promote faster and thus have higher income anyway

I tend to agree with Zyler here. He just got this guy too early in his BB career. The ascent to DII can be a long one and I don't think the best of the DIII teams in the USA can support a MVP potential center at the height of his potential. Knowing what I know now, and if I were to be in his shoes I would sell asap. This guy would bring in three really nice trainees that could take him all the way to DIII or beyond and finance a decent arena upgrade. I would bring in three guards with allstar potential, get a level four trainer and maybe even a couple of 10k per week bigs. Use new team money for arena upgrades and set himself up to launch into DIV on the ground running. This guy could be a monster for sure, but he would never be able to afford guards in the current market that could catapult him to DIII once this guys salary started hitting six figures.

I can't afford an MVP potential center at the height of his potential, and I'm old money.

Y'all realize that the kid has three skills that are awful or worse, right? He could train each of those for a season and have relatively the same salary at 21yo.

Yeah I see that. At first I thought a season of passing would help keep his cost down but man that would be tough with atrocious od.

You can hide crappy defense. You can't hide crappy offense.
