Well I joined up yesterday and I must say I am very excited to be getting stuck into it!

So far I have been very impressed with the game.

Taffy

Great! Good luck :-)

Yes to a second team, allow me to coach a team in a different region, I'd like to try success in a passionate country for basketball such as Serbia, Croatia or Bosnia, that would be nuts.

No to a more condensed schedule, I love the way it is now, more games in a week would be too much in my opinion, very easy to grow tired of it. No thanks.

I'm not so worried about getting tired of it; I'm more worried about not having enough time for my real job! Seriously though, I think upping the number of games a week risks taking out the casual players and those of us that can't log in every day to set line ups.

One possible solution would be to have multiple game-worlds: one with the current schedule and one with an accelerated schedule. However, I have no idea how much free resources the current servers have. Also, it might split up the user base even more and make it less fun.

I'm glad to see some positive posts from new users. While I'm always appreciative of the efforts to keep improving the game, I think the offseason changes before this season have been perhaps the most dramatic in terms of really addressing some of the biggest issues the longer-term managers have had. I am sure we'll see more effort at training players instead of counting on the Transfer List for roster upgrades, which is good for long-term strategy and the excitement of waiting for skill pops. I suspect the TL market will be more under control so that newer (and less wealthy) teams can actually afford to go shopping. (I assume there will probably need to be some more adjustments made once there's a good handle on the actual affects on the TL, now that young players are commanding an even bigger premium than before and veteran and untrainable players have lost even more value... but that's for a different thread.) And a big dent has been put in the old Look Inside every single game strategy.

In short, I really believe that the developers have demonstrated with these changes that they are still fully invested in this game and the numbers won't go down without a fight.

(Now if we can finally do something about SF training, which has been debated for so long in the Suggestions Forum... but that's for a different thread.)

Condensed Schedule: you can set your strategy and lineups weeks ahead of time. I dont see how 3 games a week would hurt casual players or hard core. Except in the case of an injury. Be nice if the game sent you a notice if you have an injury.

You have me curious on this as I had committed the last 6 seasons to training SFs

but that's for a different thread.

As the initiator of this thread, it was intended that any perceived problem and or suggested improvements was to be discussed in this thread, perhaps with a link to a more detailed discussion on a specific topic.

What do you think the issues with SF training are?

Agree, although im not fully %100 sold on the GDP.

This thread was started before the off season changes occurred and I do believe that the changes have been extremely positive

I assume there will probably need to be some more adjustments made once there's a good handle on the actual affects on the TL, now that young players are commanding an even bigger premium than before and veteran and untrainable players have lost even more value.

I would personally suggest we hold off tinkering with the TL market for a little while as it will ultimately re adjust a little.

The market did over react a little and in Australia, the team Urmummas who have long been known for their elderly roster, have capitalized on the over reaction and are now leading the ABBL (Division 1) with 7 wins and no losses

OK thanks for sharing
Bye Bye
