and if you really want to keep them, if possible, convert them into another position...

I don’t find it surprising at all that there are tons of bad players. Maybe I misunderstood you there? Without a large number of bad players compared to good ones, the good players wouldn’t stand out as much, right? No surprise to find a lot of bad players. I was surprised to find so few players with acceptional physicals, which just don't fit on anyones roster or have some flaw I don't see or mind. Those kind of player don't happen too often, so the bidding on even those are quite hard. Sure I have lots of cash in the pockets and could likely bye everything at once, if I'm willing to play 15 mio or more, but man, I have a hard time with that, because they are not THAT special. I'd rather spend my fortune on some higher wages for some time. My specs are not that high. OL STR > 45, INT > 35 and TW > 35 DL STR > 45, SPE > 45, TW > 35 LB STR > 45, SPE > 45, INT > 35 The rest STR > 40, SPE > 45 QB INT > 45 TE TW > 35 SF/CB INT > 40 That's the basis. Sometimes I go slightly under the INT stuff, but usually not. The rest STR |

1. Physicals: If they are not at least average (44 to 45 combined speed n strength) then the player probably isn't worth it That's quite good. I did put it at 45 and depended on the position, like DL, it's usually even higher. MacsUltraVideosYT wrote:
2. Talent: If they don't have at least 2.5 to 3 star talent so you can develop them, I would probably stay away 2.5 at TAL will bite you on the long run. I found 3.0 as lowest accetable. That gives you the opportunity to build the skills to 43.0 or higher, which is regarding wages a good limit. MacsUltraVideosYT wrote:
3. Skills: What are their actual skill levels? I mean are they over or under developed for their age? You should watch out for one-dimensional players, those cost quite a lot and don't bring it on. It takes time to correct them. If the skill build highest is still in the 30s, that's OK, but 40s should be alarming. MacsUltraVideosYT wrote:
Also I was very interested in your OL guy that you have on the market but someone bid at least 5 million and idk if I should keep bidding I got around 15 million in the bank but idk man... I could keep bidding because Im gonna get an extra 8 million from an almost full stadium (around 130000 or so) but man... its fierce out there in the market... OLs are the rares available except super QBs for reasonable wages. So no wonder he gets good prices. As hint, stay away from those high biddings, if you don't have say 100 million in the bank. Because at some point in the future you will lose the auto-pledge in media center and you should NOT pledge in that season afterwards (if not prior the 1st u p d a t e of the season) and pledge only after the next rollover and then better 50 mio to get the most. After that, keep the finances in check until you have a GOOD feeling for the dynamics of the financial needs and then you can start breaking the bank for players or wages. MacsUltraVideosYT wrote:
Like you said, most of the players Im interested in are all getting stolen by these people that are dumping like 3 to 5 million+ on one of these players... Not stolen, just outbidded. It's an open market. You will get that cash also, if you are wise on the finances in the future. MacsUltraVideosYT wrote:
I mean I just lost this absolute stud overnight and I've essentially lost him on your OL guy after driving the price up to $5 million but Copenhagen Chargers must got some serious cash on him... Surprising he went only for 1 mio. For most likely to slow. But chances are there, he is not capped. MacsUltraVideosYT wrote:
Now the market is sometimes easier, as I may have found a stud at wide-out: He also got Track Star, 50 speed, 23 y.o., skills around 27-30 or so, NOW to be fair, he is a 3 star talent, so I made a smaller investment on him then the rest of the guys... He would not be on my list, since he is already quite old and not far developed for that age, but perfectly fine for your building phase. I would not be surprised someone will bid more. |

I am also thinking about buying this guy: 32 y.o. 150k wage 4.5 star and 3 star talent... I mean he has good physicals, talent is OK, manageable wage, good skills.... Obviously he;s gonna retire soon so idk but he may not be a bad idea... still undecided tho... Your decision, but in bad cases, he will be gone in 1.5 seasons and he will cost you a fortune to buy and on wages. |

This is what I've started to do in the youth academy as well and If they don't check at least like 1.5 boxes (because 3 is sometimes hard to judge but maybe not now that I think about it...) or 2 boxes then I just fire them... buh-bye and suck the rest of your career, or maybe become an absolute beast after like 9 years (if they are actually legit...)I’ve adopted your approach when it comes to the youth academy: first soft cap the physical attributes, then decide what to do with the player. That works quite well for me, and so far I haven’t found a faster or more reliable way to separate the bad from the good ones. Basically, I check the non changeable traits first, then go the long way to soft cap the physicals, and only then decide whether to cut them or assign them a position. Regardless of whether I actually need that position at the moment. If in doubt, they go on the market. Curious to hear what others have experienced as well. Interesting topic. This is what I do: s e l e c t the player, everything under 2.5 TAL is a cut. Then check physicals. Based on the Description (Quite, might be etc.) they have a likely range. I train them to yellow and if they fit into the rules I did describe a Bit higher, they stay. Usually 50% are ok. VIS and POS are next, plus parallel A-TOG-. The actual skill for the position comes at 19/20 and then the demand and options are clear. |

Sometimes I go slightly under the INT stuff, but usually not. The rest STR Interesting. On OL I prefer min 48 str and 40 tw, but ignore int. For DL, shoot for 46/50 for DE, 49 str for DT, TW more important for DT than DL. LB about same, 40+ int, esp MLB. I may be too fussy, but I don't play QB with less than 49 INT. And yeah, buying that many good youth is super hard. I once missed the HR deadline and lost half my team, so I've been there... 
ps - put a couple young OL on the market, just for you...  Last edited on 2026-04-10 15:31:57 by wiznoo |

ps - put a couple young OL on the market, just for you... For lines, INT does help for the 'line intelligence' as written in the manual. I do ignore it on defense (which might be bad), but do have that as value on offense. I do prefer of course also INT = 50 for QB, but tough to get. I will check your OLs and my needs. I might bid on them. |
