If we're going for an easy solution just put a link in the welcome message to a stickied thread for tutoring. Each nation would need somebody in charge of the thread. (Possibly include that in the duty's of the national team coach?)

IMO, one of the biggest prblems new users have is understanding how to be competitive, the get a rush of blood to the head when they see a $50k salary PF for sale on the TM for $800k, blow all their cash, team is still shite, 6 weeks later they think the game is bad and then leave/never log on again.

what about instead of a tutoring thread, why not makea thread that has basic dot point timelined activities that the user should/shouldnt do, and just forward them that?

eg:
Week 1
- welcome to Buzzerbeater blah blah
- here is someonew that you can msg for help
- setting your lineup 4 ur first game etc

Week 2
- training do's n don'ts and who on ur team u should be training.
- transfer market and why you shouldnt go out n buy that $100k salary player.
- the best tactic for ur team

- Week 4
- enthusiasm and why u shouldnt CT just yet and y u should TIE that bot team.
- othe parts of the game to ignore for now

week 8
- advanced tactics
- buying better players
etc etc
etc

basically just a guide to sending them on their way for the first few months of the game, such that they havent stuffed up their team financially and have confidence in knowing how the basics of the game works AND have had some success because of it at least hopefully they wont have an attitude of "this game is stupid, it dosnt work" etc etc....

just an idea anyways.

Personally... as a newer guy... all my frustration is at the TL and how I can't get ANY of the players I want, unless I would specifically target players 35+

Maybe those players aren't the ones you are looking for.

Aim for players for your level, not the one playing in D3.


I didn't realize that every 18 year old 5'9-6'5 perennial all-star that wasn't built like a center, were not on my level.

or that 35 year old 7k SFs were not on my level either.

Since I am division V, and I should aim for players "my level"... I should just tank the season and draft huh? that seems to be the recommendation, or I am mis-interpreting something here.

According to the "they've been selling for 10K-60K recently" thing,

According to that... they are all within my budget as I am willing to go up to 69k.

unfortunately, everytime I do, someone still outbids me last second.

as to the older guys, or higher salaried guys. Yes, it makes more sense I am outbid on those guys, as if the dude is playing d III solidly, then surely more than just d V teams would be pursuing the guy, etc.

*edit* but alas, this belongs on a different thread.
