FAQ section

Q: My players are very tired. What can I do?
A: There are at least two ways to rest your players. One is to set training to leisure or at least lower as immense to ease the impact of tiredness. Another way is to rest player on matches, remeber that only starting five receive tiredness in a match.

Q: When I set up the tactics there is a player who is not even part of my team!?
A: This is your coach.

Q: Is it important to have a coach?
A: From training point of view it's important to have a coach. Any kind of coach is better then no coach. So if you're lacking finances go for the cheapest one and he'll make the difference for you!

Q: There are not many coaches on the market, what can I do?
A: Wait for a while, new coaches are added to market all the time.

Q: What kind of coach should I buy?
A: If you want to focus on training then coach with with a decent work rate is recommended. On the other hand experience can be important when in matches, especially when it comes to the question how well your players convert free throws.

Q: I just changed my coach, how will that influence my youth team development?
A: Players that are currently developing their skills will continue to do so with the instructions given by your previous coach. But all future development instructions will be ofcourse handled out by your new coach and players will develop skills accordingly.

Q: Why is my friendly match arranged for 2 months ahead?
A: In 1st part of Basketsim season there are two league matches per week, in second part of the season there is one league match per week and one cup or friendly match per week.

Q: My players have high star ratings. Does this mean that I'm going to win all games against opponents with lower star rating?
A: Not necessary! Star rating can be tricky, because every aspect of player's quality is equally represented. For example, if player has good ability to make steals but is bad at field shooting, both will have same impact on his star rating. But he'll only make a few steals and will much more frequently shoot during the game. So it can be crucial to give players appropriate tactical orders to get the best out of them.

Q: Why is star rating not the same in every match?
A: Star rating is influenced by player's tiredness and the quality of the opponent. If your players are tired or if the opponents are very good defensively it's very likely that your player will have a lower star rating. Star rating also improves as players progress through training.

Q: Is there a neccesary relation between star rating and a player's statistics?
A: There is no neccesary relation: you should always observe both in order to understand how capable your players are.

Q: In the start of new season my players have lower Evaluated value as before. Why is this so?
A: This is because of aging. EV is very dependand on player's age. But the value will go up again through the season if player is training well!

Q: Are tactics important in Basketsim?
A: Tactics are important! When you play against a team, that seems to be of a lower quality than yours, you should try to use the qualities of your team to their fullest by using the appropriate tactical orders.

Q: How do substitutions work?
A: When one of the starting players is fouled out (or injured) he is replaced with the most suitable player from the bench.

Q: Which players get training?
A: A player must play in the starting team at least once per week to get training. If he plays twice he will not get extra training, but will train according to the last position played.

Q: My player is old, when will he retire?
A: Players don't retire until they are part of the club. Only clubless players retire, but the better players have tendancy not to retire early.

Q: My medical center / arena should be upgraded today, but after the midnight update still haven't occur. Why?
A: Daily update is completed when the day is already over, two hours after midnight, between 2 AM and 3 AM server time!

Q: Can I send private messages to other users for advertising purposes (election campaing, players for sale etc.)?
A: No! Spamming is not allowed, because it's annoying for other users. If you're found to spam the mailboxes, leagueboards or forums you will face the fine or in worst cases - account deletion.

Q: Can I have more then 1 club?
A: No! Owning or controling or even occasionally controling more then one account is forbidden. Each manager must only control own team.

Q: Can someone play from the same computer as I do? Can my brother play?
A: Yes, but you must not sell any players to each other! And each must only control own account!

Q: Can I sell my player to my friend, he will pay the price according to player's EV?
A: No, that would be the same as cheating. Pre-arranged transfers are not allowed, just put that player on the market and surelly, some manager with no relation to you will buy him at the most fair price.

Q: I am supporter and I'd like to change the statement of my player. Can I do this?
A: Yes, ofcourse! Player's statement can be changed at any time. In case of no statement, just click the cloud icon next to his name to set it and in other case, click the same icon twice to edit it.
