My 2 cents
Start with the basics...
*Read all of the rules to give you a much better understanding of how this game works.
*figure out what you want to train (personally I'd gor for C's or SG's to start)
*Buy 3 18 yr old with minimum allstar potential (Height is important only for particular training position)
*Buy a trainer (advanced minimum, but go higher only if you can afford it as money is the key to sucess)
*Train them up for at least 3-5 season
* once satisfied, sell and repeat the basics.
*After all that, you may be ready for more advanced tips.
You can also use the help forum for any questions you may have.
Also remember, you may have beaten a scrub II.1 side, but that means nothing. You need to take make sure your team will have a future before anything else. Read every post carefully and absorb all of the info. Then decide what best for you.
Coachnoodles puts it best when he says... Always remember the following........BUZZERBEATER IS A MARATHON NOT A SPRINT!
That goes with any game similar to this.
