BuzzerBeater Forums

Actually, I've got kind of the opposite feeling: as a primarily outside-focused team, I think there are way too many LI guards on the market right now, but we really lack "pure" guards with enough JR to play outside tactics.

Of course guards with low secondaries even for inside tactics (but still lacking JR) are very cheap as compared to pure LI guards with high IS/ID, but there are really few options for purely outside comboguards, who are able both to create the offensive flow and score. But that may be just my impression

I think the easiest way to sum it up is that, at least in terms of how players have been trained, is that IS is a primary skill for guards and JR is a secondary (or tertiary) at best. But at least JR is slower than most other training regimens, so we've got that going for us.

Say for example I would look for sb/id in young player with the correct height so I can train him as guard. This way you can have defensive a outside guard on the cheap. Its hard to find such player but it very possible, I have 4 on my team right now..

Absolutely. Likewise, there's a ton of value in finding tall young players who already have good JR, OD and PA (well, any guard skill, except if you're planning on training much guard skills or 1v1 you may not want to start with a lot of HA, as that'll be added with the other stuff).

Well, I run moton and if its anything like the real life motion then im training it right. So far I know that one on one seem to be working fine for me. I see better results if I train one on one than inside scoring and training outside shooting with gaurds.

Rota? would you perfer training one on one with a motion style offense?

Please don't take this the wrong way, but you have already been told many times by experienced managers that buzzerbeater doesn't work like real life. You can take any head coach at NBA level and they wouldn't know the first thing about how this game works.

The best advice I have seen on this thread would be to find a mentor. Working with someone personally to explain how buzzerbeater tactics work could be much easier for you to process all the inforomation in the forums.

Some nice points were brought up by other managers here.

1) Pick a max of 3 players preferably 18-19 years old and train them in single position to get more pops out of them. Fast training possible.

2) I may have misread it but it sounds like you're trying to team train driving so it may show results but it'll be extremely slow and you'll never maximize your teams potential.

3) You want to run motion but the thing is your teams not setup for that tactic currently and continuously running it will only have teams in your league just GPD it. It's best to train those 3 players so you have a core for your future and just buy your surrounding pieces.

4)IMO you should invest in the draft and get yourself a nice player(s) train him and scrap the rest of your team for money and buy solid veterans to keep you from relegation while you train. Trust me it sucks losing but in order to get far in this game you need building blocks.

5) Usually that 3rd trainee you can sell for a high price if you trained them right and flip that one player for 1-2 solid players.

6) You should look at how to build a USA U21 player thread and that should give you a starting ground of what a player "should" look like if you wish to truely be competitive.
