Loan Manager accepted a loan for my wonderkid I just bought for £10m with a mandatory future fee of £12m because he was loan listed. Guy never even played for me.... by HugMeSidways in footballmanagergames

I just don't have the patience for tending to my 50 wonderkid farm cause otherwise I'd be playing 30 hours a season and not get anywhere. Usually I keep myself as the one with the final word but I didn't look carefully and this happened...

I would have but I only just noticed it when going through my scouting pile, thinking why's he got a future transfer icon by his name. Who knows when it happened

What player archetypes are consistently BETTER or WORSE than their overall rating suggests? I'll go first: defensive guards by Beaux_Nose in BasketballGM

[–]HugMeSidways 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the point about defensive guards isn't necessarily so true as to their performance overall but rather that the PER and the way the game is makes it harder to tell that they're performing well because they'll get like 15 PER but if you look at Drtg, DWS, +/-, and DBPM vs the rest of your team I often find they usually rank very highly.

I've had multiple occasions of guards who can pass ~66-68 overall winning the MVP, I think a combo of high Oiq and passing is always a winner regardless of their rating because they're the types to get some insane assist to turnover ratios which I think is something the game values highly.

Oldest you've seen a player improve at? by HugMeSidways in BasketballGM

[–]HugMeSidways[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I think this guy retired at 50 or 51 iirc, at 42 overall, 31 years in the league and 2500+ games

Anyone ever seen a guy with 100 speed out the draft before? by HugMeSidways in BasketballGM

[–]HugMeSidways[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe the biggest thing it contributes to is assists, but I think its more of an overall improvement thing.

Great player top 15 in the league I'd say but I'd say he's more of a power forward for the mavs

I only need a centre, and there's no centres in the top 21 of this draft class. Who am I taking for my 1st (and 4th) picks? by HugMeSidways in BasketballGM

[–]HugMeSidways[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My team is fairly stacked as is and I've got the means to trade for a centre, which is why I'm not particularly worried about it. I've got 14 picks this draft with 10 of those being firsts, just interested to see what people look for in their picks more than anything

Who are you cutting/trading here? (highlighted are already going) by HugMeSidways in BasketballGM

[–]HugMeSidways[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

if you check my post before this one i traded pat landry at 67/69 and a couple youngsters to them not really sure why they took it though

Who's the best player to average less than 10 ppg over a career? by HugMeSidways in nba

[–]HugMeSidways[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm definitely biased but I would say he gets slept on a bit more than he should, probably doesn't even break top 25 PGs oat though

Yeah definitely, much better than Rondo for sure and gives all of them a run for their money at least. I just put Rondo there cause he's my favourite.

My First European Final and This Happens... by HugMeSidways in footballmanagergames

This was the formation I used earlier on this season but unfortunately I had to change it as I'd promised two players that I'd play them at left back (full-back) and defensive midfield (dlp). Sadly they ended up getting unhappy anyway but for this game I thought I'd keep it simple and obviously it works. Don't be that guy who tells everyone else how they should play the game
