got 10 enth, will drop to 9 enth. enthusiasm advantage man.


I think ahead. So basically I should still win by 10

No amount of enthusiasm or ketchup can turn a turd into a cheeseburger.

In my experience enthusiasm only makes about a 10 point difference when i've had mine at 8 or so vs a 5. So what you must think is that your team is neck and neck before that, or you are completely overrating Enthusiasm.

In any event, this still comes down to hoping the other guy is inactive, otherwise you lose. Refusing to improve your depth is going to haunt you if you relegate.

well 1 step down, idk more to go. Look at my roster. Got a 24 yr old guy just before I had to go to my school bus stop. (yeah I was just frantically searching for the best 6k player before 6AM)

well here are his skills:

I will train him in ID with my bigs so he could at least get his final pops there. I hope with the training I can get him at most 2 more pops......

He can drive. He got a good balance of skills, nothing below average.

I will not demote no matter what. If I do I'm basically gonna start over, cause in D5 D5 is supposed to be for noobs.........if I demote I basically will have 30% attendence every game, where my 10k stadium would be nothing but air.

And Sol Scarborough is bound to have a pop in ID this week, which will help him out against the 39 yo turd. Hopefully he will have a big day.

I still think I can win this here. Especially with this addition.

Now time to get another 6k player.........for what looks like 25k

this is weinstein, the now backup SF (this guy I bought is now gonna be starter asap)

so a BIG move up on the floor right there.

Time to get a 9 PA PG

my stadium is too big to even sell-out in D. V anymore....

my rookie Bryant is very similar to the guy you just bought for 102K

Jump Shot: strong Jump Range: strong
Outside Def.: respectable ↑ Handling: pitiful
Driving: strong ↑ Passing: respectable
Inside Shot: respectable Inside Def.: inept ↑
Rebounding: pitiful Shot Blocking: average
Stamina: mediocre Free Throw: atrocious

so your posting gives me a good gauge of where his salary will be.

I hope you don't demote... that'd be depressing.

Sounds like you spent a bit more than i was really pointing for you to spend, but at the same time as you mentioned this one actually has multiple positions he can cover for as a 6th-7th man in your future lineup. I don't know that his inside defense hurts him all that much, if you are training guards at all between now and seasons end, i think that he'd be better off just getting better at Handling, Passing, OD, or even a little better in shooting jumpers. He probably poops on Ashley Conroy in terms of overall vitals, so you could either search for a SF or PG and just put this guy somewhere else. I'd think based on just salaries that the following is the lineup you should have going into your next must win

PG: Mykyta
SG: Ye
SF: Stillfried
PF: Vasko
C: Sol

You have Muniz as a bench guy thats slightly below average atm. and then you have a handful of 2k guys that can fill out 2-3 more bench spots and hold a roster spot until you can upgrade another slot or two. I think this increased your chances far more than playing with the enthusiasm boost.

even if u lower prices u wont sell out? that sux, at least the arena is ready for next season... I still got a lot of upgrading to do, but have been able to do quite a bit so far this season...

Yeah... I have just been looking at it as.... well, at least now i am encouraged to save my money to improve my roster...

Ya thats true, u can build an even stonger roster and get to D4 with a top team, plus ull be sellin out there...

waahoo! I actually got some free time at school to do this stuff right now!

Here's training

Sol popped to ID to 9. (proficient
)
Stillfried dropped in driving to mediocre

Muniz (idc) dropped in stamina


there we go that's training for the week I gotta be fast thats why yoyu don't see the actual arrow sign. I only got 20 minutes to do this.

got this 18yo PA C with 7'2", did 2 rebound training and he popped twice, very excited to get him in the team soon, now he has proficient reb and the other primaries are all good to start with, ID not too good, but workable... with a few weeks he might be a good backup and next season could potentially start for me... got him off the TM for 15k and now he should sell for like 300k if I wanted to sell him...

All i can say 102k for that player is over spent by about 80k.

You can get players better for less then 50k. All you have to do is be a little patient.

http://www.buzzerbeater.com/player/9569410/overview.aspx This 1 is older but also alot better. Doesnt need training and will do more for u then ur 24 year old will ever do.

People are too afraid to spend money on OLD players. Keep this in mind if u dont train them, you dont need young guns.

P.S.: Relegating might be a good idea too. Get a good draft and make some money off of that. I just think he started the wrong way with his team, but thats just my opinion. i think you should always have about 12 players regardless.

3 trainees- 3 semi trainees (incase u do 2 spot training) 6
if u train guards u need 4 bigs (2C and 2 PF) if u train Bigs u need 4 guards (2SG 2PG)
and to complete the team 2 SF.
