How's everyone doing?

I'm still working on figuring everything out with this. Got a few questions, maybe some of you guys can help me out...

1) How do I find out what day the actual draft is?

2) When do things start to change for the week like weekly expenses taken out and players getting scouted?

3) How does training work once you set it to what you want? Does it just run on its own?

4) After training, is there any way to keep track of how your guys progress or do you just have to know on your own?

5) When does the new season start?

That's all I can think of at the moment.

And umm... Beat LA.

Welcome, Please explain "Beat LA" but your team name is "California " Just curious. Umm Gasol with a big bucket with a minute to go. I am not sure of the draft date but it is after the championship is over. You can track your training by clicking on the roster and then clicking on a player and it will show when the player popped in training.(Green Arrow) Also make sure that your training players get 48+ minutes. You can track that by clicking on Weekly Stats. Your training will update every Friday. And to the rest of your questions I don't know the exact dates so I do not want to steer you in the wrong direction. Remember to be patient and have fun. If you have any other questions please feel free to ask and I will try and help. The forums are also very good. Most owners are very helpful. 83-79 Lakers 11.7 seconds left.

Thanks for the help and the welcome!

I'm of the NorCal variety. I'm a Warriors fan, hate the Lakers. Northern Californians aren't big fans of Southern Californians. It's a shame they won the championship, if Perkins had gotten to play I feel like the result would've been different. What an awful time to get hurt, I feel bad for that guy.

I see you've got yourself quite a squad by the looks of your record and ease throughout the playoffs. Best of luck to you the rest of the way, maybe someday i'll be up there too, haha.

Oh, I do have one more question. About how many games get played in a typical week?

Yes I to am a Laker-Hater. The Warriors have some pretty good young players and with their draft pick this year they could turn the corner next year. I still think they need a coach that has a desire to teach defense, Its fun to watch teams run & gun to put fans in the seats but I am sure the fans would rather watch the Warriors win 89-85 instead of losing 140-125.
My record is good but I still think that Nates Thugs is a better team, but we will see tomorrow night.
Oh I think the draft is on Monday June 28th. Good Luck

You will have 2 League games one on Tuesday's and one on Saturday's and make sure that you schedule a scrimmage each week those will be played on Thursday's, That 3rd game is critical for your training minutes.During the All-Star break you will only have 1 league game and a scrimmage. Be patient at the beginning and don't get frustrated it will come together. Also keep track of your attendance and adjust your ticket prices to sell-out. I screwed up by maxing out my prices after selling out 4 games in a row now my arena is only half full. (Big Mistake)Well good luck and I will talk to you later. Don't be afraid to ask questions.

Congrats on the win today.

I have another question for ya. Can players be played when they're injured? Because I noticed you can still put them on your roster and into your lineup. And if so, is there a negative impact to this?

Thanks I was down by 20 at half.
If one of your players is injured his name will be highlighted in red, and yes you can put him in your line up but he will not play, their is no penalty for putting him in your lineup the coach just will not play him. Back to your training if you only play 2 games in a week train your team in free throws or game stamina then you will get your full training. Not just 1 or 2 position but your whole team. I hope that makes sense. Talk to you later.
