I also joined in May.
And I have just bought this 17 year old for 1K and i reckon i can train him up in to a decent all rounder:


Brett Pye (1290476)


LH Batsman, LH Spin Bowler, mediocre batting form, mediocre bowling form, fresh
An attacking player with woeful leadership skills and worthless experience.

Plays For: Ricoh CC
Nationality: New Zealand
Age: 17 Years Old
Battrick Rating: 2,260
Wages: ?430 p/w

Stamina: feeble Wicket Keeping: worthless
Batting: mediocre Concentration: woeful
Bowling: mediocre Consistency: worthless
Fielding: abysmal

Yeah, handy enough. Assuming you can afford the upkeep, hire the staff. Give him at least 1 batting, 1 fielding and 1 bowling (if you give him more nets, I would prioritise batting over bowling for this guy) and make sure you have/can afford 5 sports psychologists so his concentration and consistency improve at a decent rate.

Thread renamed to make to make the questions more general and not just for noobs.

@covlad: good pick-up for a starting team like yourself, give him the nets angy gave you and he should be a good player for you

Keep the questions coming!

Guys , i am struggling to get wickets. I have my starting four bowlers like this

1: Resp/Comp
2:Med/Comp
3:Med/Comp
4:Med/Med
5:Med/Med

I upgrade and buy almost every week but still thye condition is not improving

 

[Brett_Lee]

Try not to buy all the time if you arent happy with a player because that is just going to take away ur money.

Try have a miniumum of comp or res bowlers even though you are new. As long as they have at least feeble or med consistency they will be decent.

So yeah dont buy new playres every week as thats throwing money away and if u go into debt upgrading ur bowlers to comp or res primaries dw you will gain you money back

There's a lot of reasons why a bowler might not perform. Skills, fitness, stamina, match orders, bowling orders, the pitch and your opponents play the biggest roles. Your management is how you sneak unlikely wins when stats say you should lose.

Training takes a long time (probably the quickest popping is stamina at six weeks on 1 net) and is for the most part, affected by age. Your old guys probably aren't worth training except in special cases. Plus, training affects fitness. Some guys just can't train and play. Patience is the virtue needed here.

Consideration should be given to the pitch and your bowler's styles. Fast or fast-medium bowlers should take the new ball. You should have your seamers attacking on favourable pitches, but defence can important through the middle overs and also on unfavourable pitches. Bowlers with poor stamina struggle to bowl long spells and can struggle bowling at the end of an innings. Do you have many of one bowler type? This could be a strength if you have a home pitch strategy, but opposition will look to exploit it.

How do you find out what is the best form and worsy form.
Like feeble and woeful and worthless.
Is there a list that tells you whats better than what?

It goes along the same scale as skills. Just in case you don't know that, I have put them below.

From worst to best:
worthless, absymal, woeful, feeble, mediocre, competant, respectable and so on... to superb being the best form you can get.

Thanks mate!

I heard someone say that the team morale boost the ratings of the team. So if my guys are at full morale would I see anymore change to my rating? It looks like it is already at it's max.

 

[zainawan89]

it do affetct i think. Not sure.
Ratings always drops for me whenever morale is reset at the start of season.

I am 200k in debt Help i cant recover from debt, what should i do?

If you keep asking yourself these questions, then read on... [ i would recommend this to Zorax too ]

why i think i am capable of giving financial advice?

In contrast to Zorax [ tactical genius ] I too have been playing for 5 seasons, but have never gone seriously into debt... Of course you might say that my team hasnt improved that well, but i never had a risk of losing my team... Of course i only pay less in terms of salaries and staff costs. I might be a poor manager but am a good finance manager and a great BT ground expert...

So if you really want to improve your finances stay tuned...
