ah I see what your saying, an expansion draft, good idea cause these are the problems newbies have:

1. They buy a MVP potential guy that has terrible skills and is 20+ years old thinking they can train them. Or they try to sell those 1k turds that are useless and no one buys them. At first I read the manual and then my mentor said to just fire them as they won't bring in any cash and they could potentially give you a bad starting week (i.e. You pay them before they get fired) So there's problem #1 in money management

2. They buy a 200k guy who isn't even supposed to be in a last division team. He'll bankrupt a team. That'll be sad. A new guy in my Country who brags bought a 77k C who ended up getting fired and was young, that's what I';m saying, buying monsters are a bad way......could've done for D3 or something.

3. They use all their starting cash on buying oldies. (Which I did) They are good for 1 season, but they crash down a season later. So if you say buying 5 great 10k guys before building your arena......you're crazy. If you want to buy someone with your starting cash, make sure they're 27 and younger.

those are problems that can be solved doing a expansion draft, if that's what you mean? I say also make sure that they don't exceed a certain salary, like in my D5 league, average salary is 15k-20k (yes my league is very competitive) so our cap should be a 25ker or at least a 30ker....but anyways maybe a expansion draft would be good? I like it though.....(if that is what you mean?)

I totally agree with this, each new team should be given one "decent" trainee to begin with, probably an 18 year old $4,000 salary allstar would be fine. Instead we have the situation where most teams get 19 year old $3,000 6th men but the occasional team gets an 18 year old $6,000 superstar. Trust me as an U21 coach I have looked at hundreds of teams to see their starting players and the current situalion is totally unbalancing and unfair.

A bad idea which affects the balance of NT from small nation to one of a bigger nation.
The amount of "good" players should not be changed.

you don't like the whole thread at all? Man, really, at least 19 year old! man then you have problems, sorry man........what did you get when you started? I hate going to TL for people........anyways when you keep your player you rise in merch. Whata if your a new guy who starts off with too many bad players. then you fire them all.........you drop badly in merch. which is the bad case. So? I like it. I only had one decent guy. and hat is James Coleman. He was 19. with 4.3k salary. So a lot of teams start the season with these people. Like let's say they start at all star break. half a season training gone.

1) TL is a main feature here, and not succeeding / using it will lead to a failure of the one who does that.

2) I can go over and see what was my initial roster (I had it for about 2-3 weeks, as I joined at the end of the season).
I don't really remember big talents there.
But what will that prove?

3) Invest (wisely) on the upcoming draft, and until then buy the players you need.
This is (general speaking) what the game is all about.

but imho just the border when a draft is called junk get moved if you raise or reduce the quality. I mean many poster in the forum won't touch even a 19yo old with good starting skills and solid till good potential. Lot of player won't get trained to the star cap anyway, and still do there work at a solid level.

My mate scouted an entire draft there were only 13 18yrs olds rest 19yrs and only two players above 4 ball potential a waste of 100 odd so scouting points I reckon. Lucky for him he has second pick do will get a player of his choice. But know investing wisely and scouting right doesn't mean better chance at good players as most are crap

That is part of what I claim here.
Changing the amount will change the balance of players amount per type, and hence just moving the border of what could be called a "decent player".

I have actually tried drafting 19yo players when I had a late pick but all it lead to was players that wasn't worth even 10k

I had drafted two 19yo players last draft.
I have sold one for about 100K after about a third of a season, and the other is already was estimated around 250K-550K.
You expect to get a player from the draft, not train it a bit and sell him for great profit. That is very rare as should be.
