I got back today after a few years, and this new tutorial is awesome to be honest.
The team i got today, was a complete garbage, i would be destroyed in my league in pretty much all the games, and if i was a noob with no idea what to buy, i would still be destroyed by this half-established or established teams with several seasons on their bag of experience because i would either buy bad player because i wouldn't know better, or get to bankruptcy just to try to compete. This, for a newbie, would make most people give up the game, without being able to compete and be destroyed all the time, would be to annoying for most people to stay.
With this 3 players you get, it will allow you to compete faster, without getting in trouble financially, and gives more time to the players to find out what kind of players to buy. I love this to be honest.
However, i think it still can be tweaked for better as well, for my experience, i got 2 very decent big men but the true star is...something. I don't think is good for new players to get players like this one i got, because it can give the players a terrible idea on how to train a player. (Legendary driving and handling and pitiful on outside defense, also atrocious inside shot) I think players should be more balanced so it is useful as well as to give the new players a good idea about what the players should look like.
