After reading all the Hattrick threads on this site I had to check it out and now I have to say I am quite interested in this thing they call Hattrick. I was given my team the Charlotte Jets today. I will admit that I am completly lost right now. I was wondering if some of you Vets out their could answer a few questions for me.

First dumb qustion? - Can you please tell me what is better/worse, wretched, disastrous, weak, passable, inadequate ?

What's Set Pieces: ??

How often to the games sim? I noticed my first game is not until March 24th but wondering if I can play any games before then.

Right now I only have 18 players on my team. I know I have read a few people keep about 22 guys on their team. I was wondering how I go about signing some more players.

Thanks for any help you may lend.

It goes I think:
disatrous
wretched
poor
weak
inadequate
passable
solid
excellent
and up

Set pieces I think are free kicks, and the such. When the season starts you can play a max of two games a week. League games are Sunday, and friendly is played on Wed. But you need to either challenge or get challeneged to play in one.

You get players by pulling from your youth squad once a week, and by buying players. I strongly recommend reading the beginning of the dynasties to see what people did when they first got their team.

Thanks...

I suggest you read the entire rules document before you go any further. Click on About Hattrick > Rules

I know I learned a lot by reading their stuff.

I've also posted some cue cards that could be of some help. One of them is the complete list of all denominations (wretche, etc)

VISIT THIS THREAD for the cue cards (http://dynamic2.gamespy.com/~fof/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=6467)

Welcome aboard and good luck. Also you should go in the dynasty forum and post your team's name and info on the officialish list thread thingy :)

In spite of the naughtiness of the sig-bigger-than-post bit. :)

hehe, that's only temporary. It'll be back to non-offensive size soon.

No keep it, I feel special. ;)

to Jets80, after posting in the Adu thread about how soccer sucks, and if Brazilians had more money NASCAR would be their favorite sport: Welcome to the Dark Side ;)

to daedalus: give me 24 hours to gloat, then the sig'll be back to non-offensive size.

How about 4,000 hours, then you will change it back? ;)

It's all good. I didn't figure you were keeping it that length for any length of time and it did crack me up (4 out of 5!). Just couldn't resist harassing you. :)
