Place an Ad for the player - not everybody is reading the forum - max out your chances to get decent money for him...



I would do but I have an old ad on there so can't create a new one yet.




The old one placed at 04.01.2012 11:21

So this is running out at 06.01.2012 12:00 Server time...

...you just have to wait 8 more minutes from now!



Ooo, I didn't know it was done by a time before they expired. I thought it was a maximum number of posts shown thing. That is very helpful thanks.

Now I have 8 minutes to decide a funny/witty/eye catching post to grab the attention of those with money.

Good luck to you with the bidding. Not come across a dodgy player yet so far. My fingers are crossed I'll spot them first and not lose out.




just post the facts....age and of course talent...since AG bid on him people will know what's up!!!
you'll be filthy rich afterwards...
like AG said be patient with building your team. do not try to get superstars when you can't afford them since their salaries are gonna kill you...you can quickly be successful in GI but it's only the teams who are build on long term that last...

Advert posted. Shame there's a 500 character list. I wanted to go into detail as to his hopes and dreams of playing for <insert generic team name>.

Ended up just posting the needed info and a very short biography instead. Although I'm sure many people won't read it all, I think it gives it the human touch.

I'm actually in a good position regarding wages. My whole team is so pants they play for peanuts. I've had to bring in a few key positions so I can actually be a threat now. They are playing well together so will be pushing for the 1st place.

16 y/o 4.5 talent - Help the young lad out
Simon Simmons
16 years old.
4.5 talent.
6'9" height.
16 Intelligence.
13 Consistency.
Fresh pull.

Advert:
Simon Simmons has always wanted to play for <insert your team name here>.

Simon is a 16 year old, fresh out of school (16 intellect) where he grew up fast (6'9" height) and had to be quick on his feet (13 speed + 14 strength).

If you think you can help him then click here and place a bid now.



haha, you didn't just post the facts but i like it a lot!
so now wait for the cash to flow....
i think your rb doesn't play for peanuts!! in fact even with the new engine he's overpaid for a guy in your division! same for your KR. it's a postition you don't really need and if he's really a KR you should get a cheaper one!!

another thing (don't know if mentioned already) is your player's being tired. always train them on average! they play much worse when being tired...

They were recent purchases for key positions.
I've got a good RB to make me a threat in Rush plays (and protect QB in passing).
I've gotten a new WR and the KR (whom I'm training to be a TE) to assist me in passing plays.

I've played with the tactics a bit to make the most out of what I have and hopefully when the new positions become their natural ones, they will really shine. At the moment they are doing wonders for me as it is.

Including the high earners I can still bring in a profit playing away, of around 100k if I have a well paid friendly. If I play at home and have no friendly I still make a small profit.

So far I'm not playing the game at a loss which means I'm growing the foundations for a stronger team. My thoughts are, to get money quickly to build the stadium you have to sell players. Quick and easy cash for a large payout for construction. Earning money per week is just for rainy days.

<edit>Regarding the tiredness. I made the mistake of training them at maximum in the off season then read a few posts explaining that is a bad idea due to tiredness. Just trying to get their energy levels back up at the moment.

Talent is the most important to post - honesty is requierement

Posting caps (as far known) is nice and helps to build a good reputation

And me bidding on a player is no guarantee... i dont have a clue...

...but oops - Serrie is high bidder - this guy must be damn good...

Get rid of your old player also. They ain't gaining training points, so they ain't getting better. Paying their salaries weekly for no gains.

Understood and following this advice I've gotten rid of three older players that don't play (or couldn't be replaced by a youngster). That should save me another 11k per week roughly.

Expanding on this theory, in the highest end of the game once your players are maxed skills in the key areas, does that mean you get them training fitness only (even if capped) to prevent them from gaining more skill points to cut down on the wage increasing?

Basically Yes! But i still dont have my players maxed in Skills (besides main skill) - so all of my starting guys still have seasons to go before swithing to "stamina" or any capped physical

One thing i forgot reg Transfer Ads: you can place Transfer Ads every 2 days - more precise -> each 49th hour after your previous one.Last edited on 2012-01-06 at 18:51
