The Official Battrick Q&A Thread

[iZeeshan]

For the noobs, if you have any questions on how to play the game, you can always ask here.

Of course, everyone can ask questions on how if your making a good buy, or what you should do with the player (sell him/fire him), bid for him.

So, noobs, ask all your questions here!

[hasbeen]

its a very simple game to understand and you will get to grips with it quickly. pepsi cola started a week ago and already he seems to know what to do, who to buy etc... there are no stupid questions to ask, if u dnt understnd even the simplest of things dnt worry and just ask.

[MCMLXXXII]

Most important thing is, Read the rules. Read them all the way through and they really tell a lot. It will be very stupid if you don't read the rules and waste all your money on hiring 20 coaches and increasing your ground size to be bigger than Eden Garden.

also check out the links on the battrick site. There are a lot of stuff out there that is helpful. Maybe someday Batrick will link to here, who knows?

Yep that is exactly what my advice would be; before you do something stupid, make sure you go through the rules!

How can you search other teams so you can play them in a friendly?

[hasbeen]

How can you search other teams so you can play them in a friendly?

go to main and then search and then write down the teams name you want a friendly against

[Straight Bat]

How can you search other teams so you can play them in a friendly?

following on from Hasbeens reply, you can't make international friendlies on either sunday or monday.

Umm. Not really. You'll probably thump me as I've just started. I've won 3/4 league matches.

[Kamran]

Umm. Not really. You'll probably thump me as I've just started. I've won 3/4 league matches.
Same here its only my first season too,in the league i got 6 wins and 2 defeats and 5 wins and 3 defeats in friendlies.

[iZeeshan]

Anyone wanna schedule a friendly with me for NEXT Sunday, not the 15th, but the Sunday after that?

[Sean]

I have a problem, all of my players batting and bowling form are respectable. None are going up or down. How do I get them up? And their ratings aren't going up. I have 2 players above 5,000, but the rest are about 1,000-2,000.
ANy help?

[Straight Bat]

Have you put the nets on the ones you want to improve?

[Sean]

Same here its only my first season too,in the league i got 6 wins and 2 defeats and 5 wins and 3 defeats in friendlies.
I've played one friendly and was thumped by about 290 runs. I was resting alot of players though.

[Sean]

Have you put the nets on the ones you want to improve?
Yes.

[Sean]

Anyone wanna schedule a friendly with me for NEXT Sunday, not the 15th, but the Sunday after that?
Sure, I'll play ya.

[Straight Bat]

the younger the players who are getting trained, the faster they improve - that's all about I know..

[iZeeshan]

Sure, I'll play ya.
Ok cool. Ill send you an invitation on Tuesday.

[iZeeshan]

I understand that resting players is quite important?

[MCMLXXXII]

the younger the players who are getting trained, the faster they improve - that's all about I know..

Also I think the higher the player's stamina, the faster they regain fitness.

[iZeeshan]

ok PC ima look at your squad now

[hasbeen]

you batting is better than your bowling but that aint saying much. your bowling is weak. you have a lot of money to spend and rather than spending it on one or two players i suggest you spend wisely on about 5-6 good players rather than 2-3 very good players. when i started i invested in a core of 15 new players and i have done very well with just losing one game all season. what i look at in a player is the following:

1 his batting or bowling along with stamina and conc or consistency depending on whether he is a bowler or batsman.

2. i look at his age. as long as he is below 30 that is fine. some of the ppers seem to be obsessed with players under 20. you only need one or two youngsters to train not the whole team as you only have 10 nets neways.

3. most importantly i look at his stats ie averages etc. i dont care if the guy has batting mediocre if he is averaging 50 odd, he must be decent.

with those three things i have built a team that is going places. hope that helps

[iZeeshan]

It does a lot. But realy what do I need. And what qualities should be looking for in the 5-6 player that I should get.

[hasbeen]

It does a lot. But realy what do I need. And what qualities should be looking for in the 5-6 player that I should get.

for a bowler look at three things:

firstly the bowling more than anything. mediocre is the minumum requirement when you first start.

then look at consistency. once again mediocre is the minimum requirement.

then stamina. once again mediocre is the minimum requirement.

those are the base you should be looking at when you look at bowlers. the same is for batsman except batting and conc instead of bowling and consistency.

a batsman with medicore in all three attributes is better than a batsman with respectable batting but woeful conc and stamina.

[hasbeen]

here is an example of one of the players i might be selling:


Huw Tawanda (963496)
RH Batsman, RM Bowler, superb batting form, superb bowling form, sublime
An attacking player with mediocre leadership skills and worthless experience.

Plays For: class act
Nationality: England
Age: 18 Years Old
Battrick Rating: 3,489
Wages: £378 p/w

Stamina: mediocre Wicket Keeping: worthless
Batting: mediocre Concentration: mediocre
Bowling: worthless Consistency: woeful
Fielding: woeful


Batting M I R n.o. Ave SR HS C st 50s 100s
Season 12 6 111 4 55.50 70.25 44* 5 0 0 0
Career 22 13 659 7 109.83 101.23 156 6 0 5 1


he averages over 100 with a strike rate over a 100 because he has decent enough batting but also the concentration and stamina to make a lot of runs. a batsman with respectable batting but poor stamina or conc will make good runs but wont make big runs because his stamina or conc is poor. hope this helps u.

[iZeeshan]

nice, thanks hasbeen

how much u sellin this kid for?

[iZeeshan]

Yo, hasbeen can you please do me a favor?

can you go to the transfer market and put mediocre minimum for bowling, consist, and stamina, and tell me if any of the guys in the beginning are good?

plz?

and the same for batting...there are just so many, i dont wanna post all of them...

[hasbeen]

nice, thanks hasbeen

how much u sellin this kid for?


not sure yet. the thing is i havent got enough nets to train him. they are all being used up so no point having him. if i sell him to someone else they can at least train him with 3-4 nets to make him even better.

i would only buy him if you got three or 4 nets to train him. i think if you train him for about 5 weeks on one batting, one fielding and one fitness net he can become competent in all 3 in 5 weeks and then hopefully he can average even higher.


how much would u b willing to bid for him?

i would give this guy 1 stamina, 1 fielding and 1 bowling and 1 batting. anymore than that and youd b using too many. how many are you using?? you should train 3 players ideally. one with 4 nets, and two with three nets each

lol this was a poor buy to be honest. it will take you absolutely ages to train this guys stamina :))) it will take about 6 weeks to change his stamina from worthless to abysmal and so on up the ladder. look at his age. 20 yrs old and he will take ages to train. he is an ok bowler but he aint worth training. you should train 17 and 18 yr olds.

this guy has ***** stamina and he is 20. to get to mediocre stamina, you will be waiting a long time my friend. too long. dont waste your nets on him

[hasbeen]

yea i realized that AFTER i bought him, i got him for FOURTY K!!! you think though that he might able to provide me a few wickets?

[iZeeshan]

which guy you interested in ???
i really dunno, after you look at my squad, which ones you think will be good for me

[hasbeen]

i really dunno, after you look at my squad, which ones you think will be good for me

i think you need one perhaps two batsman more to make your batting even stronger and to give support to that nazar guy. he cant always perform so you need insurance. and bowling you need 3 good bowlers more.

[hasbeen]

iv had a look at the batsman going at the moment and even thgh they seem to have mediocre in three aspects they dont seem to have played a game so you wont know how good they r.

remember this: not every player with the same attributes will perform the same way. it is important to buy players who have played in order to see how they performed

make sure you always look at how they performed in thier previous clubs

[iZeeshan]

hanif munaf is amazing! he scored 57/41 and 51/42 in his last two matches. uriah barat recently scored 89 while opening for me, and maisullah ahmed usually gets a really slow 60.

is my bowling really that bad? i know zakaullah is amazing, ghais should be improving, baidar shouldnt be too bad, and i thought ERIC CHAMBERS would be a huge boost? but you think with his crap stamina he will be useless?

[hasbeen]

no im not sure if his stamina will make him perform poorly but i said no point training his stamina because it wont improve so no point wasting valuable nets on him. buy a 17 or 18 yr old and train them up as they will train up quicker. you only hav 10 nets so use them wisely. look at me i have a brilliant 18 yr old but cant spare my nets on him because i used them on other guys and then theres you whos wasting your nets on a guy whos 20 with worthless stamina :))) lol. you will learn as time goes on.

[hasbeen]

my asking price for that kid is going to be 30 000. you think that is cheap?? i dont think he will go up by much though because not many people will notice his 100 average and 100 strike rate.

[iZeeshan]

i think 30K is perfectly fine, though you should start the bidding at 20K

thanks for telling me about the stamina thing, i can giv it to ghais now...

[iZeeshan]

yo shud i use my fitness net on this kid or ghais islam (stats above)

i think it take 5-6 weeks for a attribute to change from worthless to ie abysmal if the kid is 17. as the kid gets older by one year it takes a extra week for it to pop. so if the kid is 20 it wil take him 3 weeks longer than a 17 yr old.

PC are you gona make a bid for my player if i put him up??

[hasbeen]

if i was you i would use 4 nets on ghais islam because he is 17 and will improve the fastest and actually has some potential to become a good all rounder. then i would invest in two new players either 17 or 18 and use 3 nets on each.

try to find one batsman with mediocre at least in three attributes and give him 3 nets. ie one batting fielding and stamina.

the same applies for a bowler.

in that way you will have three players who will improve as time goes on and be the core of your team along with other players you buy and the good ones you got already.

there is no point wasting one net on one guy and so on. you need to dedicate the nets to 3 players who are young and have potential to improve and become good players. like that keeper you have, he has respectable keeping already, so why waste a keeping net on him.

I dunno what to do with thim though. He was for 15K. Good buy?

[Straight Bat]

Yep v good buy, all he really needs is work on fielding, or you could even turn him into a keeper because he's stil 17

[iZeeshan]

what should i give him in the nets?

[Straight Bat]

don't ask me about nets man, I'm not that good at judging. I end up either giving too much or too little.

but I'd think 2 fielding and 1 or 2 batting, staminas fine as it is and conc and cons will improvie with the shrinks around the fielding

what are club members ?

[iZeeshan]

Btw, if this: ITS Investment is 0, what's NOT happening

[Straight Bat]

you arent buying intensive trqaining sessions, which are on the club info page

[iZeeshan]

what do they do though?

[Hari Sombar]

what do they do though?

Its like points, so when you produce an academy player, you can use the ITS (points) to make the player as good as can be

[iZeeshan]

So, they have nothing to do with my nets right>?

[Straight Bat]

nope, it just lets you allocate points when you get an academy player and so increases your chances of having a better player when you promote

[MCMLXXXII]

nope, it just lets you allocate points when you get an academy player and so increases your chances of having a better player when you promote

Its like how many lottery tickets you want to buy. Better chances with more tickets, but you still have to win the lottery.

I hate these lottery type youth pulls!

[Caliban]

How can you search other teams so you can play them in a friendly?
You can also make friendly requests in the Sledging boards, if you go to the Pakistan board there is an 'Official Friendly Thread', request a friendly in their or check the last few posts for other teams and challenge them if they haven't arranged a game already.

[iZeeshan]

EDIT

[iZeeshan]

Can ur players stats improve even if they dont get nets?

[Sean]

Can ur players stats improve even if they dont get nets?
Nah, I'm pretty sure they decrease. My players have decreased because they don't have nets.

[Caliban]

Nah, I'm pretty sure they decrease. My players have decreased because they don't have nets.
Player's skills do not decrease if they don't have nets, all that will happen is players' batting and bowling form will drop if they don't have nets or play. The only skill that will decrease is stamina and thats only on players aged 30+, of which there are very few in battrick at the moment so people haven't worked out how much/often this happens yet.

[Caliban]

what does bt rating mean

[MCMLXXXII]

what does bt rating mean

BT rating is an inconsequential number that tries to rate your player's abilities. It is a sum of all the skills of your player. It is inconsequential because it has no effect on the performance of the player. Player's performance is based on his skill rating in which ever skill he is using. The BT rating is an average of all his ratings and does not reflect the true worth of the player properly. Say for example you have excellent batting skills but very crappy bowling, fielding and keeping skills, you will have a lower BT rating then having a mediocre rating in all your scale, but that doesn't really make you good in anything as a player.

BT ratings are only used as a rough guide when trying to assess the overall value of a player. Look at the primary skills of the player and then compare their BT ratings to see which one is slightly better. Most people completly ignore the BT ratings and only look at the skills of a player when choosing them.

how do i search for a player because i was on the sledging board and i i want to buy someone but there is no link how do i search?

Ok, you point your mouse over teh 'menu' part in the top ticker. Then you will see an option for Search. From there you can search for teams, players, and other things.

[MCMLXXXII]

Is it true that there is a 100 ITS limit. If I reach 100 will I just be wasting my money in the youth academy and not getting any additional ITS?

[iZeeshan]

I am not sure. Some say it is, some say its not. Not 100% sure. Ask on the Noobie board.

But wait, why would you be losing any ITS? You can just use all of them.

[hasbeen]

Is it true that there is a 100 ITS limit. If I reach 100 will I just be wasting my money in the youth academy and not getting any additional ITS?

yes there is a 100 its limit. so you probably would waste your money becasue you cant gt more than a 100.

what you should do is, when you do your first youth pull next season, start again buying its.

[MCMLXXXII]

I have 97 ITS. If there is a max of 100, I would have 100 ITS after this week and will lose the other 7 ITS I spent those precious $20,000 to get. See what I mean?

change your its for this week then to either 4000 quid. you aint lost no money yet as you can change the amount u invest every week. go to club info and change it

[iZeeshan]

change your its for this week then to either 4000 quid. you aint lost no money yet as you can change the amount u invest every week. go to club info and change it
Oh see I didn't know how many you had already.

Invest 2 quid for the next 3 weeks to make a full 100. Then invest another 10 after your first youthpull. That way you have 105.

Btw, I really wanna make a new battrick account JUST to train 2 youth pull for our Pakistan battrick future.

If you really want to risk losing your account/s and being banned for life, then sure, have a go. ;-)

[iZeeshan]

There's gotta be something I can do...

[Caliban]

Do not create multiple accounts for any reason, you will be found and banned. There is no reason why you shouldn't be able to train an U19 player and continue to make good progress with your team. Save up 100 ITS for next season and cross your fingers you'll get a good enough youth pull to train (with 4 or 5 nets for batsmen and bowlers, more for allrounders and keepers)

[iZeeshan]

Well, anyone I pull, I'll only be able to give him 2/3 nets.

But w/e, I was just kidding anyway.

[hindsy]

You can go to -350000 and after that you get 5 logins to rectify the situation. If you cant your account goes bot and you have to wait 7 weeks to make a new account.

[Hari Sombar]

Just make sure you don't go less than 200k in dept, thats my maximum for me

[FAM]

How many coaches would you recommend a new manager to buy straightaway? I joined the game just a day ago, and am quite concerned about the finances, because if I buy 10 coaches, then I don't see myself making much money, since 10 coaches would cost me 25000, plus there is ground maintenance, and salaries too, and with the income coming from sponsors (I got paid 6000 this week), and gate receipts (got paid 16,036), you can see that I will be losing money this way...

So what do you suggest? Shall I slowly buy coaches as I make more money? What have you done when you joined the game?

[iZeeshan]

Arite, you should start with 10 coaches. You WILL need that to train your players. Also, post your squad in the "SHOWS US YOUR SQUAD" THREAD listed by Battrick rating. We can really help you with that and see what coaches you should hire. Post it now, I am online.

[umarbeast]

Since Team Fitness level has been taken out becuase of FC, Why does PAN,GFI,TIE even matter any more for matches??

[iZeeshan]

it affects your OWN players fitnesses

[S_haq]

In first class matches should i set priority 1 and 2 for my best bowlers(both are spinners),because if i set priority 1 and 2 on my 2 fast bowlers they bowl the majority of the overs,so should i set priority according to skill?

[iZeeshan]

No you can make sure how much is alotted. Also, you have to find out where your bowlers' favorite position is...

[S_haq]

at what fitness level should i stop giving fitness nets to my spin bowlers?One has proficient stamina and the other respectable.

[Hari Sombar]

Unless they play both FC and OD games for you every week than they should be enough .... otherwise strong would be my limit

[iZeeshan]

I think that's both good enough...

[MCMLXXXII]

I stopped at respectable. But it is still not enough. It seems impossible to have players recover to be at optimal fitness in both OD and FC in the same week if they are your key players.

[S_haq]

whats the maximum number of sport's phsycologists i should hire?

[Hari Sombar]

whats the maximum number of sport's phsycologists i should hire?

5

[MKR]

whats the maximum number of sport's phsycologists i should hire?

Atleast 5 should be hired.

Depends on the affordability, you can hire as much as 10. I have 10 SP working with my team.

[MKR]

I stopped at respectable. But it is still not enough. It seems impossible to have players recover to be at optimal fitness in both OD and FC in the same week if they are your key players.

yes Respectable seems to be the best Stamina level one should train. Unless the player you are training is for NT/U19.

From Resp to Superb: There is very little difference to Fitness recovery rate. Resp recovers 1 level in every 2.5 days while Superb recovers approx 1 level in 2.1 Days. Whereas Mediocre recovers 1 level in 3 days.

[usman_ash14]

how many games are their in season and whats the gap(time period) between end of this season and start of next season

[S_haq]

does the stamina level of players remain the same at the start of a new season or is it reset(so its maximum)?

[MCMLXXXII]

I think everyone gets refreshed to fresh?

[iZeeshan]

MKR, 10 is a waste of money. Only the first 5 are fully effective, you never have more then 5.

[Sparhawk]

Is there any indication which players have popped, or do i need to keep track of it myself?

Hmm... Guys, just like batsmen perform well in their favorite positions, does the same applies to bowlers too?

[iZeeshan]

Yes.

[FAM]

Thanks. I thought so, because my mediocre bowler at no.5 bowls excellently against good teams when everyone else better than him gets a beating. Lol.

[S_haq]

does fielding inflate wages,because i have a player with super fielding,do you think i should keep giving him a fielding net?

[Hari Sombar]

Stop giving him a net, I think every ability makes the wages higher.

[Kamran]

does fielding inflate wages,because i have a player with super fielding,do you think i should keep giving him a fielding net?
if you can post the players stats it will give me a better idea of weather its worth it or not also is that a fielding net with a primary net or just a fielding net on its own?

question for u guys...one of my players scores 297* and another scored 170 odd in this weeks FC game. However this isnt showing up in their stats and there averages are not waht they should be either. has anyone else experienced this?? i remember this was also the case last season that any high scores my players get dont seem to show up when i look at their stats...

[iZeeshan]

Wiat for the match to end? or report it.

[iZeeshan]

can someone post a link for me to any battrick match page?

one that has like playerid=xxxxx in the end? or match id?

did you click on the fc button in his stats page? its the third one

[Kamran]

Do you want to know how to do the link or do you just want to get on to the website?

[iZeeshan]

Its arite. I was trying to get on in school to bid for Zeeshan, but oh well.

[Hari Sombar]

for anyone who can answer this :

If a player already has sublime fitness and you TIE in a game he has, will it build up to Sublime +1, there for if you GFI in the next match he will still be sublime ?

Or is sublime the maximum and will go down if you TIE, then GFI ?

[iZeeshan]

Sublime is max, I belive.

[Goldbrain]

Sublime is the max
Playing with PAN and if bowler will bowl 10 overs and batsman will score 100, their PFL goes down 1 level, with TIE half level, GFI 2 levels, I might be wrong but this is the closest one:)

[Hari Sombar]

ok thx Goldbrain

[pakdentist]

quick question for you guys, should u only have as many coaches as there are nets? if more than 10 coaches are employed are the extras wasted?

[Straight Bat]

Ja Ja, only employ 10, the others are wasted money

[pakdentist]

im thinking of buying the membership...anyone else have it? is it worth getting?

[Straight Bat]

I used to have it and am thinking of getting it again myself.

It doesn't really have anything that will garuntee you success but things like extra statistics can help you pick your teams for specific matches with more fact. Also, the alliances and other extra sledging boards are helpful.

All in all it has good extra features but it isn't a neccessity.

[pakdentist]

does it tell u how much battrick ratings go up and down every week and when your players pop etc? what are alliances?

[Straight Bat]

yea it tells you how much they go up and down by but they don't tell you when your players will pop, they just tell you when they have popped.

alliances are just extra sledging forums which are only open for members. you could find different alliances which you want (eg. there are football club alliances, mentoring allianes and other such things)

[pakdentist]

just ordered it, looks pretty decent. i like the shortcut and player notes sections...

[The Godfather]

how does a players concentration and consistency go up?

[Goldbrain]

does it tell u how much battrick ratings go up and down every week and when your players pop etc? what are alliances?

Its depend on your players form, if your players form goes down your players BT rating will effect the same time and if form go up ratings go up as well

[Goldbrain]

how does a players concentration and consistency go up?

When you give your player batting or bowling nets, put fielding and WK nets as well, your players conc and cons pop will be more quicker than usual, I think it will pop 1/3 times quicker:)

[Goldbrain]

im thinking of buying the membership...anyone else have it? is it worth getting?
Its my second year having membership, yes it does make differance as straight bat said, top of that you can arrange your players by numbers etc. and also lot more. I definatelly getting out of it. In 3 seasons I am in Div II and soon I will be back to Div III for my long term plan for my team:D

[The Godfather]

When you give your player batting or bowling nets, put fielding and WK nets as well, your players conc and cons pop will be more quicker than usual, I think it will pop 1/3 times quicker:)


thanks for the reply

[Zaheir]

When you give your player batting or bowling nets, put fielding and WK nets as well, your players conc and cons pop will be more quicker than usual, I think it will pop 1/3 times quicker:)

Yes, thats the way to boost conc and consis but remember that if they are getting a batting or bowling net you must also have employed sports psychologists to get the benefit. Your psycho's will visit the players getting primary training and boost their secondary too. The rules explain this.

Your player will only benefit from the psychologists for every primary net of that type. So a player getting two or three batting nets will not benefit more than a player getting just one batting net in terms of the boost to concentration. How many to employ? Thats debateable. If cash is tight a lot of users just have one psychologist for every one player getting a primary net. So if you have five players on 2 batting nets each then its worth getting five psycho's. However its a good idea to get a few more since it does seem to make a difference at the margin. I have noticed this and so have people like Caliban and some other trainers. I have eight and some others have also regarded this as a good number if its affordable. More than that probably is a waste of money.

Fielding is also a good way of ramping up secondaries. It will help your player collect more catches and save you runs in the field and also accelerate your players secondary pop times as a bonus.

Wicket Keeping will give you even more of a lift. The quickest way to ramp up secondaries is to put a player on at least one net and add a fielding and w/k. Watch his secondaries go skywards! I have a 17yo player getting primary nets and a fielding and w/k. He has popped twice now - every 5 weeks, regular as clockwork. He will be the first player in my team to have a secondary rating higher than his primary! He hit an OD century against good bowling today so its not doing him any harm!

There should be a table around somewhere giving approximate training times for secondaries. However just off the top of my head for a young player getting primary net,fld and wk pop times are approx 5-6 weeks, primary net and only fld get a pop in 7-8 weeks and just relying on training a primary net gets a pop in 12-13 weeks. Thats a rough guide but it won't be far wrong.

Unlike primary skills which increase more slowly with age, and stamina which increases at the same rate for all ages, conc/consis increase a little faster with age. So it can be worthwhile putting a primary net and fld on an older player to improve him, if there is a need. That should be worth about 2.5 pops in a season.

[Goldbrain]

Thanks Zaheir I totally forget about the pyso:D
Yes I have 7 at the moment and I think more than 7 might too much:D

[pakdentist]

i am going to hire some financial advisors, would i be better of hiring them right now (before the weekly financial update) or wait until the update has occurred?
thanks

[Straight Bat]

hire before the update I think... that way you will be able to get the interest on this weeks revenue.

BTw, do you know how many you should hire? Use the gary jones excel sheet, thats helpful inn giving you the right figure/

[pakdentist]

are u sure?? i just tried hiring one and it hs not added anything to this weeks revenue?? i have 4 at the minute and i need 8...

[Straight Bat]

yea it won't add anything untill the update goes through. so at 13:30, you will get the revenue for the amount of FA advisors you had hired at 13:29.

[MCMLXXXII]

How important is it to have Superb stamina? all my players have mediocre stamina and some of the key ones have respectable. I have stopped training stamina after that. Do I need to make them go all the way up to superb?

What does the match engine use to factor in, the stamina or the player's PFL? I play them when they are sublime or energetic. Would having a sublime player with superb stamina perform better than a sublime player on respectable stamina? When should I stop training fitness?

[Goldbrain]

If your players are above strong primaries and secondries and you are playing them so often, means in OD's as well as FC's and their PFL are hitting big time. Yes you need at least Prof or one level up stamina.

As higher stamina players recover their PFl more quickly than low level stamina players. Now its depend on you which players do you want to be higher in stamina. All rounders 100% and should have higher stamina:)

[MCMLXXXII]

So the stamina is all about PFL recovery? As long as I can manage their PFLs I am good? Or is there some performance advantage as well between players of some skill and PFL but different stamina?

[Hari Sombar]

Its only about PFL recovery, only the energetic/sublime etc. has any advantage in the performance.

[Kamran]

There is a performance advantage aswell, for example i have found that my opening bats with stamina below mediocre really slow down there scoring rate if they bat longer than 30 overs, whereas my superb stamina bat always maintains his scoring rate even if he bats the whole 50 overs. its the same with bowlers the lower the stamina the more they tend to go for in there final overs of a spell.
I think the minimum level for a batsmen should be comp at worst and minimum for a bowler should be prof, my aim is to achieve this within the next 3 seasons.

I don't really care about that, comp / resp is enough for me :D

[pakdentist]

when will the paleyer aes increase? also when will we be able to do youth pulls for this new season?? my financial update has occurred but its not allowing me to do a YP.

[Hari Sombar]

Players age tomorrow and first YP on tuesday

[S_haq]

Is there a retirement age in Battrick?Also do older players loose skills other than stamina?

[Hari Sombar]

Is there a retirement age in Battrick?Also do older players loose skills other than stamina?


No, there is no retirement age, just lower performance, and no, only stamina I think

[WasimG]

How fast do you see training results? My boys (19 and younger) have been in nets for a month or so yet no results at all.

[Hari Sombar]

Remember that a youngster may take 8 or 9 weeks whatever to pop, but remember it doesn't go in a definite pattern. He might pop in 13 weeks and then pop in 6.

[WasimG]

How much do you have to spend on your academy to get at least a mediocre player?

[iZeeshan]

With 0 ITS? It doesn't matter.

[WasimG]

Uhm ok how much money and how many ITS for a mediocre player?

[iZeeshan]

Well, when you have a superb academy and you spend all 35 ITS, you are guarenteed a mediocre player. Other then that, its sheer luck.

[Salman]

can some have a look and tell me how well my team ( Karachi Rickshaws) is doing in comparison since i took over a month back?


Well, it looks like your winning most of your matches and you should be getting good revenue.
If you haven't already you might want to start investing in the ITS, a very little amount each week from now might get you to 100 ITS next season and 3 YP's. So just start investing 4 - 6k each week if you haven't already.
If you have some money as well, if you see 1 or 2 good CHEAP players, you might want to pick them off the market.

Otherwise your going quite well, just manage your games and your money will manage it self, don't promote too early remember.

Guys i have a question.

About the coaches, how many should i have?

This is what i have:
Bowling Coaches: 3
Batting Coaches: 3
Fielding Coaches: 2
Wicket Keeping Coaches: 1
Stamina Coaches: 1
Sports Psychologists: 3
PR Officers: 1
Financial Advisors: 1



Do i need anymore?

[iZeeshan]

Depends on what you need to train.

Like for me, I have 4 batting, 4 bowling 1 stamina and one 1 fielding.

You don;t need a W/K or Stamina/Fielding coach if you don't want to train someone on it.

Pick your coaches based on your players' needs, not the other way around.

Cheap as chips, good prices, now if you want to make money, put one of them on 2 nets for each primary, and by the end of 2 seasons, you can sell them for a healthy profit, if you want to train then go ahead, they will improve

[Legendary_Sage]

thanks hari.

[Hari Sombar]

U training or selling ?

[Legendary_Sage]

U training or selling ?
I am going to train them.If i sell them now.it will be of no use.

okay guys im quite bored of battrick at the moment so im thinking of selling mot of my good players off and buying a pakistani u19 or international can u guys tell me roughly how much i will get for my best players i have listed my squad above

[Hari Sombar]

okay guys im quite bored of battrick at the moment so im thinking of selling mot of my good players off and buying a pakistani u19 or international can u guys tell me roughly how much i will get for my best players i have listed my squad above


If you sell all the above you probs still wont get enough money for a pakistani who is already an international, unless you get a u19 trainee

BTW - Bad choice, dont do that

[Hari Sombar]

I am going to train them.If i sell them now.it will be of no use.
my team is not to strong and after giving them training i would love to play them to improve my team performance.
Right now i am giving one batting and two bowling nets along with one stamina and one fielding net to Richard.
For Raptula i am giving him one batting net along with one stamina and one fielding net.
do you think its ok?
how many weeks are left in this season?how can i get that information.


If you have a WK net free you might want to put it on Richard to help get his conc up faster, for the end of the season, its until 14 OD and FC games have been played then the t20 games, so I think its about 5 weeks ...

[The Godfather]

If you sell all the above you probs still wont get enough money for a pakistani who is already an international, unless you get a u19 trainee

why is it a bad choice

[The Godfather]

but i need help on how much i would get for the top 5 players

[Hari Sombar]

Your not going to enjoy the game after, im not good at prices, when izee or someone comes he'll tell you

[Goldbrain]

You will get minimum 8.5 millions and max 10 millions of your first 5 players in the list.

[The Godfather]

thats good i have around 1.5 in the bank anyway so i will have about 10 mill and i have seen internationals they are just a bit over that i think

how does the youth pull thing work?
As it is my first season i have not invested anything in Youth academy.
Academy Investment: £0
Intensive Training Sessions: 50 (it is showing 50 training sessions.how this thing works.what is the benefit of have training sessions.)
Should i start investing in 2nd season or not?

[Iqbal'sh]

Academy Investment: £0
Intensive Training Sessions: 50 (it is showing 50 training sessions.how this thing works.what is the benefit of have training sessions.)
Should i start investing in 2nd season or not?

For a new starter the Academy would not be where I would invest at the moment. Improving squad and ground would be higher priorities but here goes:


Youth pulls take place once every week after the financial updates. For England teams this is on Saturday 17:30, I'm not sure about Pakistan based teams.

Check the condition of your Youth Academy. This maybe anywhere from Abysmal to Superb. The condition of your academy will determine how many Intensive Training Sessions (ITS) you can use with each youth pull.

A Superb academy will enable you to use 35 ITS, maximum of 12 on each player skill (batting, bowling, stamina, concentration etc).

12 ITS returns a skill level of Mediocre.

You can upgrade academy condition as many times as you want, it costs £30k. Usually, but not always 30k will move the academy condition up one level ie from Feeble upto Mediocre.

New teams start with 50 ITS, you can also purchase extra ITS every week. £2000 will get you 1 ITS. Maximum ITS you can have is 100.

[Iqbal'sh]

btw Youth pulls are random so make sure you pull a youth every week after the financial update. If your luck is in then you may pull a decent 17 year old to add to your squad.

[Legendary_Sage]

What is the proceedure to take part in youth pulls?

[Iqbal'sh]

What is the proceedure to take part in youth pulls?

Go to Club chose Club Info screen, on the right hand side you will see a message:

Start developing a new Youth Academy player.

Click on this text and you will go to the Youth Pull screen. Here you can use ITS on a specific player attribute (batting, bowling, keeping, fielding, stamina, concentration, consistency). The amount of ITS you can use will be shown (this is dependent of the condition of your Youth Academy).

Put a tick in the box at the bottom to finalise your settings and hit the button and you will be presented with your new player.

You will have option to fire the player, sell him or keep him in your squad.

Youth Pulls are random so if you are lucky you may get a decent player without any ITS.

If you are new to the game I would suggest holding back on investing anything in Youth Academy/ITS for now, instead look at improving your squad and your ground first.

[Hari Sombar]

Also, dont make you YP now, make it at the beginning of the season because you will have the maximum amount of time to train them

[Legendary_Sage]

Thanks to all of u for ur support.

[Iqbal'sh]

Also, dont make you YP now, make it at the beginning of the season because you will have the maximum amount of time to train them

You should make a Youth Pull every week BUT you should make a Youth Pull using ITS as stated by Hari above . Your chances of getting a decent youth are increased by the ITS you invest in that particular youth pull and thus if you get one of these close to the start of the season you will have longer to train them as 17 year olds.

Only upgrade when your ground is maxing out and dont do what I did

[Legendary_Sage]

but what if i only increase the member seats as it will increase the revenue for my team?
Right now only 250 members can come in to ground.where as i have 749 members.

On sat the financial updates are done.so if we want to increase the FA's we should do it on saturday or on monday?
Because Training updates are done on monday and we hire/fire the Psychologists and coaches on monday.
I am really confused about it.

What about firing coaches should it be done after Financial Update and If i have to hire coaches should it be done on monday as training updates are done on monday.
