Tips for a succesful "association"

[USC-Trojans]

I want to start one up but I need help on how to run it the succesful way.

It depends on how you're going to play it.

If you're like me and sim part of the seasons so you have time to play multiple seasons, maintaining cap space is very important. If a player is not in my top 7 for my rotation, I will essentially give them away for cap relief if possible.

Also if you re-tool your roster, change your coach profile accordingly so that when you sim, you play to your strengths. Don't be afraid to adjust players shot tendencies to how you want to run your team.

It's all in personal preference really.

Me, I play every game (82 games) plus all the playoff games. I keep things as realistic as possible by checking the rumor mill for trades, building threw the draft during the offseason. Developing young players through drills and workouts, etc, etc.

Or you can do it the other way and try to build a beast team, blow up your roster. Just have as much fun as possible and try to build yourself a dream team.

It's all up to you. Just make sure your having fun.

Have fun, i prefer on developing young players, right now i use the New York Knicks and i think the default roster is blown up, i think i only have one player from the deafult NYK

29 games, 3-5-7-7 format for playoff

get a champinoship asap in a realistic way meaning you dont' rip off the cpu in trades~

I like to play 82 game seasons 7-7-7-7 playoffs. I like to sim until the current date, so if I started a game today I would sim to February 1st game time too. I would say if you're going to blow up your roster do it in the off season, obviously trade for some expiring contracts during the season to give yourself more flexibility in the free agency market.

What about the practice drills for players do I do them?

Use the skill points I get?
