I have been playing since season 4. And the biggest thing I wish is I would have gotten serious about the game sooner. It took me about 5 seasons to get serious. Now I love this game so much I can't believe it took me that long.

What I've learned:

-Scouting is likely a waste of money unless you are going to finish below .500

-Players age rapidly. Pick one player to develop and focus on him. Don't buy a player off the waiver wire every chance you get ... especially young players. Players under 23 lose value rapidly if not trained

-PR managers have dubious value

I wish I knew to only train guards or bigs, and to buy vets at whatever you aren't training. In my first season, I bought a whole bunch of players aged 22 and younger, and would do guard training one week, and big man training the next. Really hurt my team. Also, this may seem really stupid, but when I first joined BB, I thought the number next to the players name (which is player ID) was their world rank, so I would always buy the player with the lower number (which would be the higher rank). That ended up as me buying a bunch of old guys.

That single position training gets you a lot more money when it becomes time to sell your trainee than double position training.

That you can add and remove forum folders from favourites (and thus the sneak preview) right below where it list of threads, so I didn't have to keep going to find more folders, and my league page to find forums I wanted to read.

I wish I knew initially when market prices change.I generally make good transfers but almost always after a short period of time I see that I was underprivileged.That I am trying to say is that after a month f.i. my trasfer either my selling prices rices or my buying prices lowers.It gets on my nerves!!

I didn't make so much mistakes in the beginning, thanks to forums (well, I am still at the beginning, so I still have a chance), but I wish I wouldn't decide to train bigs - which was economically incorrect decision. Now I do have 3 relatively OK bigs for my level (and still training), but have to buy more expensive comparable small players.

I think if I had it to over again, I would spend my ENTIRE first season putting every available dollar into my arena. Especially knowing how easy it is to promote out of DV USA leagues, I would build, build, build so when I got to DIV I would be making more money than anyone else, then focus on my buying better players, while still adding to my arena.

There are two issues regarding height and rebounding that I saw in this thread.

The first - "How two guys with the same skill but one is much taller will be equal in a match at rebounding?"
As I see it the answer, as few wrote, is that while (some of) the taller skill is due to his height and the other is due to better reading where the ball will go (or something).
It's just doesn't matter.
Their skill is the same == They have the same chance getting the rebound.
More precisely, on each game they will (averagely) have the same amount of offensive and deffensive rebounds between them.

The second - "Why does taller players can improve faster on rebounding?"
I think this is very simple.
A taller guy can improve boxing, ball-reading and such. A smaller player cannot "get taller as fast" [or at all, of course].
In other words - better boxing for the taller guy will have greater effect than better boxing to the smaller player, as the taller player as the advantage of a better height...

I think that the misunderstanding inflicted from both questions is answered on the opposite answers.

I wish i knew how the hell to train players properly.

I only did multiple position training, didnt care about minutes and so on.

What a waste my 18yr old MVP talentwas that i didnt train really...
