- `bright cyan`View/Edit Team Help
- The View/Edit Team Menu allows coaches to manipulate their players.
- This includes, Viewing, Benching and Training players.
-
- `bright cyan`View a Player
- Viewing a player shows the players vital statistics, such as height,
- weight, age, and college. You also see their skill scores, offense,
- defense, shooting, etc. Finally, you have the players season and
- last game statistics.
-
- `bright cyan`Switch Players Roster Slots
- In Franchise Basketball, substitutions are made according to the
- first valid substitute in your roster list, therefore if you have
- someone in the 16th slot in the roster and you want them to get
- significant playing time, it is best to move them to the 6th, 7th,
- or 8th slot in the roster. This way they will be called upon
- sooner and more often than being later in the roster. The roster
- positions of your players can have a significant effect on your
- teams play!
-
- `bright cyan`Bench a Starter
- During the course of the season, you might find that you wish to
- to change your starting lineup, adding a player while benching
- another. That is what this option is for. First you select the
- player you wish to remove from the starting lineup, then you pick
- the individual to replace him.
-
- `bright cyan`Recalculate the Starting Lineup
- Immediately after you draft your team, the computer calculates your
- starting lineup based upon the players order in your roster. If you
- switch players you may recalculate the starting lineup given the new
- roster order. This is a quick way to pick the first players in your
- roster eligible to start.
-
- `bright cyan`Train a Player
- As the season progresses you will want to improve your players skills
- by choosing Train a Player, you pay an amount of money to send that
- player to an intensive training camp to increase a particular skill.
- You may only increase a players skills to a score of 15. Scores of
- 16 and above are only obtainable by natural talent.
-
- `bright cyan`Quit and Menu options
- The Quit to Main and "?" options exit the View/Edit Players Menu and
- display the View/Edit Menu respectively.
-
- `bright red`Player Injuries
- During the course of a season some of your players will be injured.
- When this happens they will be removed from the lineup for the
- duration of the injury. Injured players may not be added to the
- starting lineup. They may, however, be switched with other players
- on your roster, and released from the team (registered version).
-
- `bright red`Player Retirement
- When age catches up with a player (registered version, Perpetual
- season) that player hangs up their sneakers and retires. When
- players retire, a roster slot will be opened, with the message
- "Player Retired". In these instances, new players may be acquired
- from the free agent pool.
-
- `bright cyan`Trading Players
- In the registered version of Franchise Basketball, teams may offer
- one for one trades to each other. This allows teams to fill roster
- slots with players that they need from other teams.
-
- `bright cyan`Signing Free Agents
- Free agents are players that have not been picked up by another team.
- They are placed in a pool of players and may be signed (for a fee)
- to play on your team. The better a player is, the more money he'll
- cost. In addition, in the Perpetual Season, this is where you may
- add players to your lineup to fill the slots vacated by retired
- players.
