From The Pavilion

[RPetterd15]

Like I said I really enjoy it. I like making my team better, bidding on players, picking my squad for each match.

Just try it if your scared you won't like it. It doesn't cost anything, your not locked in to anything, I think if you don't log on for maybe a month your membership will be cancelled

 

[Footy Fan K]

What is main difference between FTP and Battrick?

and which do you rate better?

 

[RPetterd15]

I haven't actually played BT before because I had never heard of it before

 

[Footy Fan K]

In FTP out of 10 how do you rate the person who made the game and he's commitment to upgrading the game? and why

 

[RPetterd15]

8-9
He works very hard with it and has put a lot of effort into making the game.
and hes updating it a lot always putting new things on and always writing new things on the first page to let players know whats happening

 

[Mr P@H]

I only play FTP due to being stuck in Div 5 in BT for 8 seasons. Cos thats what I call funs!

Least I'm now getting somewhere in FTP.

BT"s better visually, but I think Ash is gonna change the whole interface sooner or later. So maybe it will rival it. Still think FTP pwns in terms of communication. Ash is on the forums all the time and replies to most help and suggestion topics.

Plus theres more upsets in FTP, you don't go into a match knowing whether you're gonna win or lose based on ratings.

So is this thread to compare the two or talk about FTP?

My wages are insane, so Im gonna have to sell off a few capables to get it down from 98k. Interestd in some cheap cap/reas batsman or bowlers, hit us up with a PM.

I suppose 100k is a little on the high side but i've got a glut of Spinners, two aged 20 with Accomplished bowling plus an All rounder who is a good bowler as well

I just got my account activated, now waiting on a team to be assigned to me.

How long does that usually take?

 

[Spikey]

24 hours at the max.

1.3 mill? are you serious? I'm pretty new to this game, but I wouldn'th have guessed that he would be that valuable. he doesn't seem to have any particularly impressive talents.

then again, perhaps I just don't know what I'm talking about...

One guy offered 1.3 for him, and I got him valued and they said "First week 16 yr old reasonable, with secondaries and talent is about as good as it'll get". So hopefully will have a fair bit of interest in him, looks like he could be an amazing player in the future.

that's pretty sweet. why not hang onto him, then?


where did you get him valued??

My academy facilities are poor, hence his development would be wasted. Also, this money will help me improve all facilities, get 2 or 3 very good players (going cheap at the moment) and set me up for a while.

Valued on the forums, by one bloke saying to start the starting price at $700k, and then another saying he would blow right past $700k easily with his stats and age.

Lot of clubs are short on good youth players yet alone good 16yo players. Doesn't surprise me one bit.

And Finsher is a quite nice talent.

yeah, I'm starting to get that impression.


well, good on you, alfy. hope you get a good price for him...

 

[blackhead&boil]

alfy, did you get any takers for that player?



my first game went well. both openers scored tons and the team finished with 2-260. we then bowled the opposition out for 140...

 

[Spikey]

Haven't made more than 230 in 5 seasons of T20

Was playing a bot so it was a easy win, used my 2nd XI.

mine was a bot, too. must have been particularly useless. my team isn't really that strong...

 

[alfy!]

First game, I made 3-169 taking it pretty easy, and bundled them out for 125. This is with a team that is well and truly going to benefit from expensive transfers over the next couple of weeks.

Currently the bidding is at $1,504,912, so there is plenty of interest.

that sort of cash is really going to set you up in the game.

how much longer is he on the market for??

 

[alfy!]

Still got like 2 days of market time left.

Should allow me to buy 3-6 great players for my team, and allow me to develop my others. Exciting stuff.

All bots are pretty weak, sometimes you get the bots that used to have a manager so they're can put up a fight. But not like some of the superbots in BT....

If he/she uses it the right way, if either of youare gonna use the TM be sure to buy players with good tech & exp as they're both pretty important. No point buying a 26yo capable bat with dread tech & exp.....
