Which are you doing? I'm undecided right now but list your reasons here since Darth wants a clean training camp thread.

I'm doing it myself. Last season my main guy who went down was Steve Kerr who tanked in shooting, handling, and defense. I put 10 into shooting, and split about 12-13 in defense and handling. Do I really believe that if mr. Uter decided to put 10 into his shooting, he all of a sudden doesn't tank? Don't be ridiculous.

Don't be ridiculous. 1) Mr. Uter wouldn't be ridiculous to train Kerr the way you would train him. 2) You put him at SF anyways. Tank was imminent. |

he will be a much better option for me at the 2. Spot up. Shoot. Drill. Laugh and enjoy. But with the way my squad did last year on the TC, I'm confident that history will repeat itself and excel this year.
I'll be doing this shiz.

Do it for me. I put alot of thought into last season and it was awful. In the IJBL I let them do it for me and I was satisfied with the results

In the IJBL I let them do it for me and I was satisfied with the results Have any players taken huge hits out of no where when letting the computer do it? Simmons was a rookie and got hit -55 overall and potential overall changed from green to yellow. I didn't know hardcaps on attributes could be changed randomly during TC so that's why I'm thinking of letting CPU do it. |

I didn't see any in the IJBL this season. But for the PBSL, my team was hit hard overall except for two late 1st round picks.

Derrick Coleman was 22, had an 80 inside rating with A potential. Soundwave puts 9 points into it and it goes down 7. He had 71 for both rebounding ratings and had 9 points put in inside... went down to 60 and 57. Had 8 points into his PSD and went down 13 in block. Gohan put 10 points into Starks' shooting. He is 26 and had B potential in all. His free throws stayed the same, while his jump shot went down 10 and 3 pt shot went down 2. Despite having B defense in PRD and STL and putting 8 points into that, he went from 65, 61 to 53, 60. There are so many examples of this. If you honestly believe the computer putting in 9 points instead of you putting in 10 will be the reason your guys don't tank in TC, I don't know what to say to you.

Fair points made but did you go look at how the CPU did with training camp results? If you're point is that the CPU didn't have anyone who completely failed, fine. But you also see no CPU players who went from starter to star (Stacey Augmon) or star to superstar (Shawn Kemp). Both outperformed their potential. And people act like the computer made no mistakes. Sure, no star or superstar tanked, but go look at Brad Loahus or whatever from the Jazz. Go look at Felton Spencer from the Heat, etc. The CPU is not immune to these guys having a bad TC either. |

Do you prefer a gamble or safe bet? It's these questions a GM must answer each offseason. No one said the CPU gave everyone a +5 and patt on the back automatically. |

No one said the CPU gave everyone a +5 and patt on the back automatically. I'm just saying that people are acting as if using the recommended takes out all risk, which it doesn't. We never heard about any huge CPU failings because A) gms were inactive or there was no team gm at all. B) the bad TCs happened to rotational players, not key starters or stars that warranted attention. But who's to say this year, it's a key player that tanks instead of a less valuable player? Instead of a yellow green guy going to yellow yellow or a green green guy going to yellow yellow, it could just as easily this year be a blue blue guy going to green green (Derrick Coleman). |

Well that uncertainty comes with playing in a new system, and with each offseason we will have a better idea of how it works. As for if or if not those CPU teams had a decent training camp, which a few GMs (me) wouldn't mind, you can easily go back in the archive and look it up.
For now only 78 as spoken about his observations from another league just like ours.

I think its a copout to use the computer. Next time I'm not sure about my Gameplan can I have the CPU do that for me too? Doing TC is a GM's duty and to have the option to let the CPU do it for you is an easy way out.
And since this is the smack talk area, im calling out everyone choosing "CPU recommended" a bunch of scared little pussies, man up and take responsibility over your team, learn from your mistakes and do better the next TC.

Seriously though. If people can take CPU recommended Training camps, should be able to take cpu recommended DCs without a point penalty.

You can ask Darth about your recommended DC settings which I know several GMs have asked before. Maybe they didnt use it or just wanted some ideas but it already has happened.
And not directed at anyone in particular but another one of two of the CPU teams each season has done fairly well considering no owner compared to those with an owner. Just sayin

Thank you Nola. This thread is hilarious thus far. You get points for submitting DCs. Many have asked for their recommended DC because they are curious. Not a problem and has been stated this is legal within reason. But it had nothing to do with the points. We want activity. Now if you want to go computer recommended DC throughout the season...go ahead. When you get to the playoffs, I'll be the very first one to make it known that you didn't really make the playoffs but that the computer made the playoffs because you couldn't do your own DC. And then I'll laugh at you. Now I think doing a DC and TC is two completely different things. You do tons of DCs throughout the seasons. Many of chances for mistakes and changes. You do TC once per season. If you want to go computer recommended I can't say that I blame you but I'd also like to take bowtothebill line of reasoning and say don't think because the the computer inputs 10 instead of you that the same results won't happen. And now I'll take Paulys line of reasoning and simply say...stop being bitches! I'll leave it at that.  |

Honestly, I'd feel a lot better about doing TC myself if any of my choices last season actually paid off. I'm still learning this game, and I've stunk things up so far. If you've done well so far, congrats to you. But I haven't, and so I can't afford to potentially set myself back even further by taking unnecessary risks. To me, going it solo in my current position is an unnecessary risk.
I don't believe that the CPU's a "genius," but I'm pretty sure it's smarter than me at this point.
