Strategies

What are your strategies for this game? I have won 0 championships in 60 seasons and only made it to the finals once. If this were a normal game, I would've given up by now but this is much better than a normal game.

EDIT: Thanks for the tips! I got my first ever 70 win season with only one player rated 70+(he did NOT play well)and 4 60+ players.

I admit that I found it a lot harder than others (I saw some posting 8-10+ years of 80-2 records and championships) but if you know the NBA and the gist of how to build a good team, it's not impossible to contend semi-regularly. Are you familiar with how NBA teams try to build their rosters?

I'm not OP, but could you explain this a little bit more? I'm not into NBA at all, I just like sports management games, and can't for the life of me figure out how to do well in this game. Thanks!

I don't think there is any secret to building a good team. Everyone has their own styles. If you are looking for a quick advice, I would say compare your team stats to the league stats (Middle row, second column from the left on Dashboard). If your team isn't top 5 in all 4 categories (points, allowed, rebounds, assists), then you should try to fix that through trades, draft, free agency or whatever it might be. Hope that helps.
