So i i've read the game manual & a guide someone made, and i think i understand the basics now:

So if i understand it correctly, for a new team, a good approach is to get some young players, and to train them up to better players!

so every team starts with a decent young player, mine is this:

Ken Colin (48738852)
Owner:
Fc bienkes

Weekly salary: $ 2 602
Role: draws a paycheck

DMI: 11500
Age: 18
Height: 7'0" / 213 cm
Potential: perennial allstar
Game Shape: respectable
Jump Shot: mediocre Jump Range: respectable
Outside Def.: mediocre Handling: respectable
Driving: atrocious Passing: average
Inside Shot: respectable Inside Def.: mediocre
Rebounding: average Shot Blocking: average
Stamina: respectable Free Throw: average

Experience: atrocious TSP: 55 (31 + 24)


so should i buy a couple of trainees (thinking about training 2 positions, which would mean 5 additional trainees if i'm not mistaken) and try to train players like him up? How should i start with the training of young players with a good potential? Was thinking about starting to train jump shot for forwards to start? What do you guys think of that??

What sort of players should i buy? should i look for young players who have decent stats but bad jump shot stats so i can start to train that faster? I'm asking for a bit of help to form a decent training plan while i learn more about this game in the weeks to come?

Thanks in advance for any response!

wauw this was really good advice! Unfortunately i've already hired some new staff & bought some players to train, luckily they were REALLY cheap players, i could sell them or fire them at the end of the season and restart with new 18 year old trainees. I can also use them to learn how training work & get them 48 minutes of training each a week!

I'll defenitly keep what you said in mind, but i have 1 question: What players do you recommend i buy (stats & position)? Thaught about training maybe Power forward & small forward or centers? So 2 position training

i'm a bit lost in what players i should buy and what is easy to train for a beginner? Any help for that? i could really use like a first training regime example and learn from that and adapt to myself later on?

Thanks in advance for the response!

ps: I didn't hire the extra youth trainer yet, i'll wait for next season to hire him!

So let's say for next season i come with this plan:

- Buying 5 trainees (small forward & power forward) 18 years with a potential of Perennial allstar - superstar
Those players i can train on 3 things (inside defence, jump shot & inside shot) because it's the 3 main attribute of all those players, so i could keep them for a good period of time! So training those 5 players for the short term future.

For the rest i would buy veterans for center - point guard & shooting guard, don't know how strong they'll be, but i'm not planning on paying giving money away on them as i will probably mainly play against bot teams.

on the trainees side i'll try to find small foward with already some outside defence & power forward with already some rebounding, as that is not a skill i'm planning to train in the near future but those are skills that are important in their position.

As of this season i've read that i'll probably need to upgrade my arena a lot as it is probably too small.

so how's that for a plan? doesn't seem that bad to me. Would be a team of 11 players, 2 for each position except the small or power forward, one of them will have 3 players!

think i'm gonna do this! Doesn't sound like a bad plan to start & learn the game!

for now i'll continue with the trainees i've bought without buying a youth trainer yet, as it's probably not worth the money, but for the time being i can learn from training them and see how i'll do it next season! I'll not buy veterans yet, as i don't really see the need for now! Prefer to start fresh next season!

Anyone has an opinion on this?
I have 2 question tho, how much should i spent on the trainees?
What is considered as a veteran player? a +30 player? or even older like 35+? or younger?

but if i understand it correctly? don't i choose as last in the draft because my team is 'first' atm? Or do botteams don't choose players?

Also, is close height to each other that important? Just asking, i'm a noob in this game! ^^

And really thanks for the answer!! Really good info!
