There are not many things I wish I knew, since I read the manual about 10 times when I started playing and also kept reading the forum. :p

but still..
- I wish I didn't switch training between guards and inside players each week (in my first season).
- I wish I had raised my arena prices earlier and not lose extra income

I wish I knew that there's no height advantage in games. So a 6'6 guard won't have any advantage over a 5'11 guard in their match up. That's the most unrealistic thing at BB by far!

So is Kevin Durant a bad SG?
Was Magic Johnson a bad PG?
Was Ben Wallace a bad C?

I think there are exceptions to the normal heights, although obviously a 5'11" C is silly.

I wish I knew how to train properly.
I wish I knew what skill I was training.
I wish I knew investing arena first is better in the long run, than buying random players who ended up getting fired after a week.
I wish I knew that buying young and high potential player was useless unless I was going to train him.

true about Nate Robinson - although in terms of inside D, I vaguely remember that he once blocked a dunk attempt by Yao Ming.... for athletic types, sometimes defense is about timing and desire,as their athleticism can compensate for their height. For regular and below average folks like me who cannot jump high enough, height matters more. In my mind, the blocking attribute in BB somewhat simulates this aspect.

On the topic matter, I wish I had sold all my players 3 seasons ago at the height of the bubble and sat on a pile of cash to buy players this season. I have become too attached to my players, and will suffer for it in about 2 seasons time.

Because I never was able to land an outstanding draft pick (though not for the lack of investing), I wish I had ignored training completely and instead just focused on stamina and FT.

So what would be the point of having skills then? Just put 5 guys with 7'1 in the court with atrocious rebounding, but due to their height they would win a massive number of rebounds and block a lot of shots.

I wish I knew not to spend my $300,000 start money on an overrated 21 year old who pretty much reached his prime

I wish I knew that training an All-Star would be a waste of time and this potential would never ever be enough to get a NT-caliber player... All those seasons for nothing... :-/

Kevin Durant is a beast, BECAUSE he's taller than his match ups and he can shoot over them any time he wants. That's exactly what I'm talking about!
MJ is great thanks to his height, I'm not sure if you're agreeing or disagreeing with me.
..and you can forget training up a player like them on BB. Even if you somehow manage to get in the vicinity, what would be the point? They wouldn't be better than 5'9 guard you can train to the same level in less than half the time.
I don't know who Ben Wallace is..
kidding, I love Big Ben but once players pass 6'8 they don't really gain in athleticism. So an advantage wouldn't be as clear if any..
But, c'mon, are you really saying than a 6'7 player with the exactly same skill level wouldn't beat up a 6'0 guy so badly, there wouldn't be any reason to go to any other match up in a game?
