High value is not important in building base offensive guard players, not the purpose of the thread . .

If you train correctly there no big salary even at highest levels of the game. . It's about balance . It's marathon not sprint

If you can kindly go to my starting post of this thread,, that's training data. It shows you how to build the players for cheap.

Let move to our next player type. Which is Center. Since we have pg already. There , now we are going to step by step to build a base offense center .

Building a Superstar Center for a Base Offense/Defense (Normal focus/Normal pace) requires a balanced "all-around" profile rather than just raw interior strength. Because Base Offense doesn't force the ball inside like Look Inside, your Center needs the skill to hit mid-range shots, pass out of double teams, and defend both the paint and occasionally the perimeter.


1. The Build: Superstar Center Example

To reach a Superstar (8) potential cap without "capping" too early, you must balance primary "Big" skills with secondaries.


Example Player: "The Foundation"
Age/Height: 18yo / 7'0" (213cm) - Height is crucial for training speed in big man skills.
Potential: Superstar (8)

Below is the finished product based on estimated training time . These amount. Are the end game we desire.


Skill Category Target Skill Level (Prominent/10+) ~Why for Base Tactic?

Inside Shot (IS) 15 (Sensational)~Primary scoring for any Center.

Inside Def (ID) 14 (Tremendous)~ Essential to stop opponents' inside focus.

Rebounding (REB) 13 (Strong) ~Base tactics rely on possessions; you must win the boards
.
Shot Block (SB) 10 (Prominent) ~Provides an intimidating presence and helps team defense.

Jump Shot (JS) 8 (Excellent) ~Key for Base: Allows the C to score when the offense is balanced.

Passing (PA) 7 (Respectable) ~Helps "Offensive Flow," ensuring he doesn't just turn the ball over.

Lety contine on how to.build it more below

. 2.The Training Roadmap
Your going to need a level 4-5 trainer. Gym level 3 and youth coach !!. ( Tip: your arena being 15k or better help things go much smoother is cost.)

Training efficiency drops as players age. Follow this sequence to maximize the training :

Ages 18–19 (Secondary Skills first):


1-on-1 for Forwards: Trains Driving (DR), Handling (HN), and Jump Shot (JS). This builds the "balanced" part of the Base tactic.
Passing (C/PF): Hardest to train later; get it to level 7-8 early.

Ages 20–22 (Primary "Big" Skills):

Inside Defense (C): Single-position training is fastest.

Inside Shot (C): Alternate with ID to maintain the "Elastic Effect" (skills training faster when related skills are higher)
.
Ages 23+ (Polishing):

Rebounding (C/PF): Trains well even at older ages compared to OD/PA.


Let continue more to break this down .

3.. Critical Training Rules

48 Minute Rule: Your trainee must play at least 48 minutes at the designated training position (Center) each week to get 100% of the training.


Single vs. Two-Position: Single-position training (C only) is roughly 25-30% faster than two-position (PF/C). For a Superstar prospect, always single-position train if you can manage the roster.

Trainer Level: Invest in at least a Level 4 (Advanced) or Level 5 (Superior) trainer. Anything lower is a waste of a Superstar's potential. As I mention before level 3 gym and youth trainer help as well as 15k seat arena with cost get all things necessary.


4.Why this character build works for Base Tactics?

In a Base Offense, the game engine looks for the "best available shot." A Center with only Inside Shot will be useless if the defense plays a 2-3 Zone or 3-2 zones . By having a bit of Jump Shot and Passing, your Center becomes a triple threat who can score from the high post or find an open guard, making your "Base" tactic center much harder to predict and counter

You can sell for nice profit , which is case here 😆. But if you choose to keep it, you've built very great center for your team.

This Center would be very expensive for a Division 4 Squad. Let alone training 3. 60,000 salary is quite affordable for Division 3/ High Level Division 4 squads, but the build is becoming obsolete! Also, I'm a big proponent of dominating in a skill, rather than being average in all.

You're stuff is good, appreciate the effort and enthusiasm. but some of it does need a bit refinement!

Hello,

😊 Thank you so much for the kind words! I

t's a privilege to hear feedback from someone with your experience and track record in BuzzerBeater. I appreciate your input on the Center's build and salary - makes total sense, especially focusing on dominating in a skill. I'll definitely refine the build with your suggestions in mind, on another build .

I'm Looking forward to bringing back the reverence, maybe when revenue allows for some big moves I will do so

The thread is basically for selling at that potential. as you've already said there's not a lot centers out there like above and it very expensive to keep .This is basically for base tactic offensive center to sell .

But doesn't hurt to make two😆.

I don’t know why anyone is still replying to this obvious troll. 100s of posts and you could count on one hand the amount of sensible or accurate posts!
