Hey mate, I'll clarify a few things for you.

Regarding debt, you get charged 5% interest per week when you're in the red. In the past if you were $500,000 or over in debt, you'd have a week to clear it or lose your team, now it's changed to give you a better chance to retain your team by automatically putting all your players up for sale in an attempt to bring you back (like a liquidation sale).

With enthusiasm and TIE, I play TIE all season except important games during the season where I play Normal with Enthusiasm levels of around 10. Once your enthusiasm reaches 8+ mark, playing TIE is like playing normal with Enthusiasm 5.

PR Guy can be useful only if you hire the specialised ones. National Appeal helps you on the road by reducing home court advantage to the opponent, and Crowd Involvement helps your home court advantage when you play at home. I employ a level 3 National Appeal..

Box score page.

Basically rates how your team performed and how your opponent performed. For example if you have good perimeter defence and played a 3-2, the rating will be higher than if you played a 2-3. Personally I use ratings to know when I need to improve, especially when I play the right defence set and still get smacked.

Points per 100 Shots, the higher the shot percentage, the more points a player will score when he takes his "100 shots". This can be influenced by the defence, or lack of, your players ability to score and defend will affect the outcome of both yours and the opponent. It's combined for the match I believe, so both starter and backup is included.

Have a Merry Christmas! If you need a mentor let me know, us Aussies like to help each other out!

Hey mate,
Cheers for that! You said you play TIE each week unless you need to win it, does that mean you still win with TIE? I've only been playing a week so I've had it on normal so far, should I switch it to TIE? I'm just asking because I don't know if my team would be good enough to win if they were TIE?

I currently have a Level 4 PR guy with no specialty at 10k salary a week, should I sack him for a lower Level PR but with a specialty? The only reason I hired him initially was because I thought he would bring more fans to the Arena and hence more income. So is this not the case?

In regards to playing the right defence, do you always play the same defence/offence? What makes you change it if you do not keep the same?

Merry Xmas to you too!
Actually at the moment I'm having a bit of trouble deciding where to play my players, do you mind if I send you a mail.
Cheers!

I got promoted the last 2 seasons and being in Div II, my players are not up to scratch. I do have a great C who I'm retraining into a SF, so I'm playing him as a PG most of the season, so no, this season I'm not winning anything. Last year I went unbeaten playing TIE in almost all my games except against harder division rivals.

Regarding PR guys, there's no real hard evidence on how much income each level guy will bring in. I'd just get one with a specialty.

Offence/Defence depends on your players abilities and play style of the opponent. If you have players who can score inside and outside, go for a neutral offence like Push The Ball, if you have great outside scorers, go Motion/Run and Gun. If you have great inside scorers, Look Inside, if you have great passers and inside scorers, play Low Post. You get the deal.. The faster the offence, the lower quality shot, but you'll get more shots per game. If you're playing a good team, you might wanna slow down the offence so he gets less shots in the game, because if you play too fast, he'll get more shots... and might build a big lead..

Defence depends on whether your opponent has a history of playing inside or outside, so check out his recent games. Scout your next opponent.

Mail is always welcome! Post on the Aussie forums, we're glad to help.

You have to look at your current siituation in the league - you may play TIE or NORMAL , dont advise you to play Crunch- only when you are sure of real upset.

Thanks!
