Interesting. Hadn't considered continuing to train my best player as an option. He'll be 24 next season so I'm was thinking of just letting him be a "finished product" type of player.

I'll need to think on it

Awesome thread, everyone.

Brand new on BB, with my first match in 80 Minutes (naturally, against the only other active player in my 8-team conference!)

Despite knowing better (not my first online manager game) I've spent about half my starting money, so clearly I'm too dumb and new to ask any useful questions, atm, so I'll simply stay tuned to this thread.

Hi all,

I've been around for almost a season now, but I still have some questions about long-term strategy - especially now that I have 3 draft picks to deal with. If anyone is willing to offer me some advice, please BB-Mail me and I'll reply with some of my questions. Thanks in advance for any help offered.

I got you.

-Your fellow hokie.

Hello
New here on BB and looking for someone to show me the ropes a bit. I have tried absorbing as much as I could in the past few days, but a lot of it is quite daunting. Any help I can get is appreciated.

Cutch

Hello all, I followed Cutch here from another simulation game. Like him, I'm also looking for someone to show me the ropes. Any mentoring would be appreciated. =)

Shetan

I need a mentor too, I think i learn alot the three days i have been here

GM-brian
Have said he will be my mentor, Yah!!! Lol.

I joined a couple weeks ago, but i am still having trouble improving my team and managing all of my money. any tips for me. If you could BB mail me that would be great. Right now I am trying to sell two of my better players in order to get a really good 18 year old to train along with my 20 year old down low. I have 12 players right now and i am training rebounding for my bigs. I am trying to look to expand my arena to get more income. My weekly income looks like this:

Expenses Revenue
Player Salaries: $ 50 219 Attendance: $ 57 515
Staff Salaries: $ 27 250 Merchandise: $ 13 492
Scouting: $ 5 000 TV Contract: $ 58 396
Total: $ 82 469 Total: $ 129 403

I keep losing to some lesser opponents and I feel like I might be doing something wrong.
Here is my main player that I am training right now

Ogeday Akarsu

I did not do so well in the draft only getting one player that is worth playing. The other two are basically players i play in scrimmages and IR's.
This is my best player right now

I am trying to sell him because I am looking for a good younger player that I can train.
