Ok, well, mine's kind of a two-part question here.

Starting out, I've already bought two new wide receivers to benefit my offense, and I'm working on bringing in a few other new players, including cornerbacks, a QB, a safety, and a better running back. Is this the right approach, firing some of your worse players and buying new ones? If so, am I taking the right method here, picking out young players with skills more suited to their BPOs to train?

Oh, two other things; 1) why are the starters' BPOs SOOOO innacurate in most cases?
and 2) Does hiring a new trainer to improve the rate of training help a lot? If so, what levels should I go after purchasing at this stage in the game (I started on Wednesday)

Yeah, I'm going for a full gallon of knowledge today.

Edit: Man, I need to learn to spell correctly

yes picking players based on skills and talent to replace bad players is a good thing

1) players starting BPOS is random so ignore it and play people where their skills are best and their BPOS will change in time
2)it is best to wait until you have at least got maximum vip seats before you start getting trainers/coaches

good luck

Starting out I would not buy anything off the transfer list or fire anyone until you KNOW what to look for in a player. Take your current roster and try to put everyone in a position that suits them, though. I would, however, get rid of the old guys...starting out you should think of the longterm and not the short.

Yes, BPOS is random (as assigned by the computer), so ignore that and play who you think should go where based on skills.

Yes, trainers help a lot. I think it's a waste of money to buy anything less than 20 though. And doctors are a waste, don't bother.

As far as when should you do it...conventional wisdom would be to do what Monkey said and build your seats first. This gets money flowing a bit sooner. I, however, am not conventional. That's not what I did and it's not what I'd do if I had to start over. Money is an afterthought to me...skills are what's important. I'm not going to beat Merc because I have more money. But I'm pretty good with numbers and don't have a problem balancing finances. Many owners have lost their teams by going bankrupt, so build the seats first if you're worried at all about finances.

Trying to match-up defenders to take advantage of offensive weaknesses and lessen their strengths.

I know that's cryptic, but you're in my division.

At What time should younger teams start passing the ball?

EDIT: Another Question, how much do you value INT? (Espesially QB's, And MLB's)

Once they start playing humans.

Personally, I won't train a player there without 19s or 20s, but I've seen no real proof that it matters. I think it would matter more at MLB if people didn't know every play was going to be a pass. And there are only 4 positions I even take INT into consideration (with very minor at one of those)...everyone else could have 1s.

I see the "4 month" policy has gone out the window, so I'll shoot a question or two at you. In your opinion, what's more important for a QB, footwork or agility (independent of any other skills that are needed)?

What is more important for a RB, vision or positioning (independent of any other skills that are needed)?

Purely conjecture, but...

Footwork

Neither, but lean towards Positioning if I had to choose.
