Edit Buddy List

yea i see foonat now. that orange dot shows last game. if its live you can watch it.

LOL foonat's team has a guy with the potential of "Announcer," I never saw that before. http://www.buzzerbeater.com/BBWeb/playerBox.aspx?PlayerID=9987659
looks like Sypher

he has a 25yo MVP SF
a 22yo perennial allstar C, 7'2
and a 32yo superstar SG

the MVP SF and the C look like very good building blocks.

downs syndrome?

goldhp is a respectable 6th man

ok what do i do now

Take a look at your roster, see who you wanna keep. The ones you don't want, you can click on and then click Fire or put them up for auction.

If you click Schedule you can then click Set next to your next game to set your line up and rotation.

You can decide what positions/skills to train by clicking Train. And then you can check the player market or click staff and "replace" if you want to get a new trainer or doctor or whatever.

the Manager Checklist will run you through a lot of things you might want to do.

ok i got my starting lineup but how can i look at my players' ranks without going back and forth to decide who i want as backup?

I dunno, I guess just right click on Roster and pick "open in new window"

Im taking the long view on my team, I already got a trainer that extends careers and am selling everyone over 25
Hopefully some day I can earn enough money to buy up an All-Time Great, or find one in the draft, to come up behind my current crop of guys. since theyre young i can wait awhile.

alright i fired my shittiest players, set my tactics and lineups, got training going. anything else for me to do right now? i want my guys to play some games before i go and try to get some other players, right now my frontcourt seems strong but my backcourt blows dick

blid are you investing any money in scouting? the more you spend in scouting the better players you'll get in the draft.
i'm not spending anything right now cause i'm poor as fuck.

fyi foonat i wouldn't do run and gun offense unless against a weak team, run and gun offense is a lot of jacking up 3 pointers. even your center will shoot 3s.

i did "look inside" offense since i have a good C and PF as well as SF

im putting 10k into scouting

im probably gonna bleed money here but i do have 180k left on hand. hopefully the PR manager turns things around.

maybe i should upgrade the arena

holy fucking shit
Canada * Ranks #2 in FG %
my center ranks #2 fg% in all of Canada. lmao
#166 worldwide. lmao, likely won't last but that's pretty cool.

shooting at 77.8%

The arena is currently undergoing expansion, to add:

Luxury Boxes: 5
The expansion will be complete in approximately 6 days.



I don't have a game for a few days so I guess there's nothing else to do now

man i can't wait to arrange scrimmages with you. scrimmages are really just practice. so you can fuck around , try different strategies and shit seeing what works. also you can decide to rest your players during a scrimmage if you have an important game coming up than when that important game comes you can change the attitude to 'crunch time' and you won't tire out because you had rested your players the previous game. i'm sure it'll allow us to scrimmage with each other every week i don't see why it won't let us keep playing each other.

also i think your luxuy boxes are a waste of money, you need to start winning and selling out games then you can add more seats.

All my previous games sold out all the seats except for a couple bleachers, and even those sold 90%, and now I have a better PR guy who I'm paying an arm and a leg. Not only do i expect to sell out I expect to double my prices and still sell out or that dick isn't doing his job!

i'm gonna get a PR guy too, i just bought a 19 yr old shooting guard, trying to get a 19 yr old pg since my guards right now are both over 32. can one of you guys take a look at my team and give me an opinion on who i should get rid of?

Well, since I just started this game I don't know if my advice is any good or not, but I'll just tell you my thoughts anyway.

At center, I would sell Alton Turner. He's young with decent potential and you might get a good return, but his salary is high and you already have Morris Mitchell who is a bit bigger and has more potential. Daryl Thomas, the other center, seems like a good back-up since he's so cheap.

You've got a glut of power forwards. 6? I might just fire Arnoldo Larios, he doesn't have much potential and he's over 30. Looks like you've got two others already for sale so that should thin the herd out a bit. Maybe go with Douglas Edwards as your guy for the short-term. Don't necessarily train him up, but use him at the position until you get a young up-and-comer. I don't see a long-term guy in the bunch.

At SF I would fire Christian Jensen. His salary is massive and he's not going to get to contribute at all since he's behind your MVP candidate Andy Qualls. John Jacobs can serve as back-up: young, cheap, 6th man.

SG looks good. Give Zoltan Buki the minutes to build on his superstar potential and he has a solid back-up in Will Phillips too.

Only 1 PG and he doesn't look any good. You need to get a new one ASAP. At least a decent placeholder.

I'd be interested to see what Jon thinks too, I wonder if it's the same kind of thing or completely different. Since I'm new to this too I'm not necessarily 100% confident in this advice.

Btw, this game looks promising but it doesn't even approach the best web-based (sports or maybe otherwise) game ive ever seen, which was web boxing, http://www.vivi.com/
the amount of strategy involved in that game was mind-blowing. i played it for a few months a year or two ago before i finally retired my fighters because it became too exhausting trying to outscheme the other top fighters in my weight classes. although my welterweight retired undefeated and #1. actually his last fight was a draw which scared me into retiring and quitting the game while he was still unbeaten. some of my other fighters got belts and lost them.

edit: woot, according to my economy page, my team turned a $13,500 profit -- even with $10,000 in scouting. I don't think it's totally accurate though cuz I didn't actually have any home games (joined late in the week) but it shows revenue from attendance.

I am going to crush this game

by the way , the faggot staff you hired has their wages increased after time, eventually you'll have to find a cheaper replacement.

my fucking buddy list is gone , fuck this shit.

Hrm, I have noticed that it is a lot easier to buy players late at night. There are currently over 1200 people online. I am getting outbid extremely fast.

Last night there were only about 300 people online which made bidding a lot easier.
