One thing I believe would help as well would be to give each starting team a "Star Player"... like a 5-7k 19yo with allstar potential.

It would give teams someone they could look at and say "Whoa he looks good" and in the manager tour thing we have to do at the start it could point out the "star player" and how to train him and get him going, then the new managers at LEAST have one player they can get attached to and get started with, and it wouldn't be that big of an advantage, especially if everyone got one.

Agree with this. I would guess every manager who starts to figure out the game realises a little way in that starting rosters are just awful.

I think beyond just giving them the "star" Ayer on the roster though it should be brought to their attention. For example, on the starting news press release it could say "With manager Chekreyes at the helm and star player Gary March ready to lead the team..."

My player Gary March is a perfect example. He was 19 when I started, and had all star potential with decent inside skills and ok secondaries. I trained him until he was a 30k big and eventually he was getting playing time in D2. He was really what kept my interest for the first month or so until I truly had a hold on the game and could make some purchases and understood strategy a little more.

An interactive tutorial at the start that shows how to train the "star" player would be invaluable.

Spot on. Any way we can help new managers by letting them know: 'yeh this guy is decent' before they have to work it out is a good start. As well as giving them at least one decent starting player in the first place.

With user number falling so rapidly I see no harm in helping new managers as much as possible. Its better than losing them to the confusion a couple of weeks down the line because Buzzerbeater will be gone in a year or two.

When, I started, I was lucky. I got 3 19/18/20 yr. old perennial allstars.
I drafted this guy the week later and I still have him.[player= 19314126]
