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 great star ratings. Can I be take wins against opponents with lower star ratings for granted?
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 default relation between star rating and player's actual stats?
A: There is no neccesary relation: you should always observe both in order to understand how capable your players are.

A: Because of the aging! EV value is very dependand on player's age, however it will increase again during the season for all players who are making a progress on training.

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.
