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.

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. =)

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
Weekly salary: $ 4 573

DMI: 11600
Age: 20
Height: 7'0" / 213 cm
Potential: perennial allstar
Game Shape: average
Jump Shot: mediocre Jump Range: pitiful
Outside Def.: atrocious Handling: inept
Driving: average Passing: atrocious
Inside Shot: respectable Inside Def.: respectable ↑
Rebounding: respectable Shot Blocking: mediocre
Stamina: mediocre Free Throw: pitiful

Experience: atrocious

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



Weekly salary: $ 8 262

DMI: 16500
Age: 25
Height: 6'9" / 206 cm
Potential: star
Game Shape: average
Jump Shot: prolific Jump Range: respectable
Outside Def.: pitiful Handling: strong
Driving: average Passing: atrocious
Inside Shot: respectable Inside Def.: mediocre
Rebounding: average Shot Blocking: inept
Stamina: inept Free Throw: inept

Experience: inept

I am trying to sell him because I am looking for a good younger player that I can train.
My arena is small right now, but i am looking to expand it
Bleachers : 4500 (Current Price: $8) (Price as of 5/22/2010: $8)
Lower Tier : 475 (Current Price: $45) (Price as of 5/22/2010: $45)
Courtside Seats : 50 (Current Price: $100) (Price as of 5/22/2010: $100)
Luxury Boxes : 0 (Current Price: $800) (Price as of 5/22/2010: $800)
Total Capacity : 5025
Any tips on that?

The biggest thing I need help on is managing my money and staff.
My Staff:
Doctor
Skill Level: competent
Specialty: None

Last week's salary: $ 8 452
This week's salary: $ 8 578

Trainer
Skill Level: competent
Specialty: None

Last week's salary: $ 9 045
This week's salary: $ 9 180

PR-Manager
Skill Level: competent
Specialty: None

Last week's salary: $ 9 352
This week's salary: $ 9 492

That is basically all my questions, now all I need is answers.

I am also wondering what I could do with this guy

Edit: I know your looking for help but if the player is currently up for sale you cannot post his skills.

I will add that your team almost to a man is in pretty bad game shape; if you can manage minutes to ~60min/week for your guys and bring their GS from the mediocre-average range up to strong-proficient range, you will get a lot more production out of your players.

Also I'm not sure what you were charging before the last price update, but you can probably raise bleachers from $8 to $10 and still sell them out, especially with a level 3 PR, and decrease lower-tier to ~$40 to get those closer to selling out.

Finally Coco is right, a lot of your loses have been close ones on the road which means your team is not that far off, with better GS you would probably be winning most of those. Another thing you could do to give yourself an advantage is find a PR guy with a specialty; A National Appeal specialty might work best because you are already playing well when you're at home, and when you are on the road it will help reduce your opponent's home court advantage and make those games more winnable.

EDIT: Can somebody help me fix the two posts above this? I meant to give those 5-balls but apparently it is too early in the morning for me because I accidentally clicked on 1-ball before I realized what I was doing. Sorry guys :(
