Your arena is amazing. How have you built that? It will take me many seasons to do that. Perhaps I need to build a lot more.

I've played this for 2 seasons and only focus on building the arena and training my guys.
it takes a few steps to building and filling out your arena.

first you need to be managing your popularity with your fans 4.5 balls to 5 balls rating.
- winning games
- coming first
- attend play off
- stay in the cup
- train japanese trainees
- don't trade stars and regular starters.

you need patience to build up your stadium, it will take about the same time as me. build it weekly, try to complete construction before your next home game so that you benefits from the expansion immediately.

lastly, have your a "strong" enough roster and do not buy players with high salary that are too strong for this division. Division 2 in japan is not that strong so if u can copy my salaries you are nearly right.

i can not give you advise on ticket price because its different for each team and their popularity with fans. once you starting to come first or high on the ladder, you can just copy my arena prices.

I am happy to help anyone who needs advise.

Damnit.
Take a chance and put out my best team @Team Japan, assuming he won't play his 17k center and 8k SF because he has a cup game this week.
He plays both.
I'm leading a tight game, and my PF (my most consistent scorer) fouls out in 25 minutes. He had 17 points.
Manage to keep the game tight, get to OT, and then lose by 7 in the end.
Don't care *that* much about the loss, but the screwing up of my week's training plan - very much so.

Sigh...

Thank you both for the wise words. We will start work on arana now. Some of the things like come first and stay in cup are not easy so we do what we can. My team is all Japan but 2.

Malace you have no luck. We need much patience this season with the unbeatable teams here.

Yup. Two games I thought I'd win, one I get CT'd (that was a shock), and the next my best scorer only last 25 minutes!
Ugh.

Oh well, live and learn!

was it foul trouble or bad stamina?

Fouled out.

Yes, it'll be hard to start out because you may not have the money to have a deeper roster. Most players with high salaries are balanced or inflated by having higher skills in such as block or jump range. These are the skills good to have but not really important and you can live with it as low as 'respectable'. Balanced players are very good to have, but you can also win with monoskilled/role players if you are master of your tactics and predictions.

You can get away with lower salary players if you structured your team relative to your tactic.
you can find what is required for each tactics on the help forum. it will help you understand what sort of players you need.

I hope you'll understand what I am trying to point out. good luck.

We have wages at $71,000 less than one player on the Gamethrowers. Our tactic = win :)

We try to build our arena with extra money but good players always are to tempt us. Some day we wish a better trainer.

Question how bad is bad jump range? You talk about it. We have Ushio with prominent JS and pitiful JR. We will never train his JR. While we train JS he is PG, once we train PR he is SF. What you think?
