Ofc it is important to have a balanced roster, but before that, what you need to do is analyse the opponent's strengths and weaknesses. This is what Indian managers aren't doing. If your opponent has strong inside defense but weak outside defense, you'd naturally want to choose outside based offense, such as motion, RnG, and if your opponent has strong inside offense but weak outside offense, you'd want to play defensive tactics like 2-3 zone. Don't stick to 1 tactic. That is a mistake. With your roster, you should be able to win almost all the games in your league, if you are attacking the opponent's weaknesses.

But you need more players. 8 players isn't enough to keep good GS. Maintaining high GS is very essential. Again, this is what Indian managers can't do: better GS will lead to better performance. Give your players between 48-72 minutes every week and their GS will stay around strong-proficient. In order to distribute so, you ideally want 11-13 players.

Your seat costs in your arena is too expensive. You need to lower them to earn more income. I'd say $17 for bleachers, $50 for lower tiers, $190 for courtside seats, $1300 for luxury boxes. Also look around in your league how much other managers are setting the seat prices for etc. And expand your arena too on regular basis.

Are you training any of your players? Can I take a look at your Indian players Shatrughan Dixit and Vihari Mishra? I can help you with how you should train them etc. If they are trained properly, they could possibly be part of India U-21 National Team.

P.S.
BBmail me those players' skills if you don't want to show their skills in the public forum.

thanks yodabig n tungi...hope all dis wil help me out n tungi i have sent u bb-mail of m indian players check them out.

It's really cool to have another Indian member posting on the forum. Hope to see you more in the future.

The guys have given an appropriate answer. I'm not going to turn your head upside down by giving you more details. It's better if you understand the basics first. & most of all, enjoy playing with us.

What I can say is that if you need any kind of help, don't hesitate to come more often around here. It would be a pleasure to give you tips and just exchange with you ;-).

See ya!

What do you think about my roster??...what all changes should i make

The two things to remember are
1) Post often and you'll get help.
2) Have patience. India is easier because the quality of teams is so low but once you get to Div. 1, there is so much difference in quality between the top teams and the others. It will take a long time to build up your roster enough.

By the way, did you change your team name?

From the look of it, your roster has a good balance, except that your perimeter defense needs some improvements. I suggest that you replace some of your guards with players who have better OD. Defense is crucial in basketball and defense is a key to win a match.
Also, again, it seems that you only use motion and man to man. I can tell you straight away, that I've played 3-2 zone when I played your team in the past, and in fact that's what my history tells me. Using same tactics is a bad idea because managers, who keep track of what tactics other managers use, can easily select tactics that would maximize their chance of winning. Try to look at the opponent's strengths and weaknesses and change the tactics accordingly.

First I think you need two more trainees. You only have one guy under the age of 26. Training is by far the cheapers and most fun way to improve your team. You have Chitrada Porsezhian so I would get two more guys who you can train as PGs but make sure at least one is a better 20-22 year old player with at least a $10,000 salary.

You also have your four top salaried players as big men, now this may be ok if your guards are really good because they do have lower salaries but I would be a little worried about your big man/small man balance.

So from next tym i will b changing my tactics according to team. And even i think i need trainee but i want to train indian players but i dont get good indian players in transfers...anyways till now i have 1 trainee that is from india too so i will train n best possible way so that he becomes the key player of U21 NT and NT.

Just be careful when choosing tactics because some teams change the tactics on regular basis, so check the previous 5 league matches to see if there's any pattern etc.
This year's Indian draft has been quite poor it seems. But your 18 year old could become a great player with the right training, as his height is pretty short. BBmail me his skills if you still don't have an idea of how to go about training him.

okz...n yup i changed m team name from Arora Industries Limited to Golden All Stars

India is like Thailand... You evolve in a small country & there is a gap between the top teams and the rest of the League. What I would advice you to do (even though there are no optimum solutions) is to save cash in order to build a decent roster and be ready to compete with the best in the future.

This tactic is the one used by Siam Paragon (59278)... This team has sacrificed a hole season (season 13) in order to be build a competitive roster for the following seasons.

Patience is the key to virtue ;-).
