Hey heinz! I'm new here too, but I've had help from a friend who's been playing for awhile and I can give you a few tips if they will help at all. When choosing a team, try and find a team with a good prestige (B-C range is fine), look for balance in age (Don't pick a team with 8 Seniors and 4 Juniors, recruiting would be awful), I forget if you can check during team selection, but if you can, try and find a team in a conference that has mostly human-coached teams, it's a lot more fun and the coaches in your conference will help you with any questions you have (At least mine do), and this is just my own opinion, but try and pick a team where there are good recruits near (For example, teams in Illinois, Indiana, Texas, etc). That should help you pick a team, if you have any more questions or anything feel free to message me, I'll be glad to help the best I can.
