I wish i knew how to train players at first, hurts thinking of all the wasted time on 23yo 4k guards, attempting to jump shot train a center with atrocious JS and JR(who i bought because they had MVP potential, even though they were 21), trying to train a PG and a PF at the same time(wasting some of both their potential), buying a PG to train because i had just sold a trainee, realized he wasn't worth training and sell him for less than half what i payed and more noobish stuff like that....and probably more mistakes i will make and face palm to in the future......that's a little more than one thing, but hard to choose between so many mistakes

I wish I had learned that defense was the most important aspect of the game. Defense determines the outcome, offense determines by how much. I had a player a few seasons back (I was in league V) who had sensational Jump Shot (good right?) however his defense was inept and even though he averaged over 20 points a game his man on defense scored more than him therefore he was playing outplayed at his position. Which is why I had to cut him loose because I realized that if I kept him I would keep not promoting (took me 4 seasons to promote). And I thought offense was more important and I now know it's not which is why I finally promoted. Hope this Helps!

+1!

I wish I knew that high potential didn't mean faster training!
I wish I knew that high potential after the age of 25 didn't make a difference!

I wish I knew that my US BB pals would grumble about me getting more moneys because I have less users in my country! (I'd have started an account when I visited australia lol :P :P )

Day one: surprisingly - season is starting the same day and first game is in 2 hours!
1. Of course I put crunch time attitude to start the season in fashion - loosing the first game and valuable enthusiasm. I selected team for game1 ranked by DMI.
2. After the game I start selling the most expensive players to save the money not knowing they are the most valuable.
3. I started bidding the players attracted by DMI which was affordable with my budget (DMI in the range 5000-10000?!) which was totally irrelevant.
4. After few hours and messing up my team I started to read the manual!
5. First season I split my training in three parts: outside, inside and SF - nobody of course built the carrier.

Now I am in division2 and I still have one player from my first season as lucky charm...

I think my biggest mistake (or maybe misunderstanding) is that I (quietly) thought I was smarter than everyone else when I figured out that I could train by position (PG in this case), and proceeded to buy literally 30 point guards thinking that all 30 would get trained and then I could sell them at a great profit. Now I just have a stupidly long transfer list from buying and subsequently trying to sell all of those not-so-talented point guards.

I'm on track to buy about 70 players this season for $1000 each. None of them are going to get paid :)

Why is it that every time that I look at your roster, your whole team is for sale?

And btw your transfer history is redicilus.
