I made a post a while back about how far fetched it would be for me to promote out of D5. This was considering that I am very out matched by two teams in the other division. I also asked for help on strategies of beating one team or the other. I ended up beating the "better" of the two teams (I CT'd his normal), which leaves me with one loss. I feel that I have a good shot at going undefeated for the rest of the regular season

My questions are:
1. What are my chances of me promoting via playoffs?
2. Is it possible for me to promote via bot cleanup even though I have a loss?
3. Can anyone give me good strategies (Enthusiasm and Tactics) I should use for playoffs?
4. What specifically do I need to do as far as strengthening my roster?

Also is there anything else I should be improving? Stadium etc.

Any and all advice will be considered and appreciated. Thanks!

1: Playoffs? You promote by winning the championship. As far as that goes, you have a decent chance. With high enthusiasms you can go inside on them and possibly pull it it off.

2: Extremely high. There are tons of bots in D4. I promoted with a 16 and 6 record way back when.

3: Just Look Inside and Man to Man should suffice. Until the Finals, play normal because the other teams are terrible and you could use the enthusiasm. I'd also recommend playing normal in your away game in the finals. In the finals, Look Inside 3-2 zone is probably best.

4: Obviously getting better big men. Especially your PF, who is extremely weak. Your Center looks to have strong offense, but I'm willing to wager isn't the best defensively. Improve both positions.

Stadium should go to at least 10k going into D4. You will need the money for sure.

Yeah I meant via Championship.

What do you mean my stadium should go to at least 10k?

I more wanted to know specifically, what seats should I add? Bleachers?

Surely you mean TIE? Playing normal during the season will ensure his enthusiasm will slowly and surely move back to 5.

Also, playing LI all the time will make you very predictable.


In the finals, Look Inside 3-2 zone is probably best.

Playing 3-2 zone in the playoffs is not necessarily better. It depends on your opponents. Going 3-2 against a LI team could be suicide.

I guess he's talking about TIE during the rest of the regular season and Playoff Normal during the playoffs.

I also think LI should only be one option. With offensively limited post players, I'd rather consider outside or balanced tactics.

Jesus. He asked for tips in the PLAYOFFS. Hence, I said play Normal, as in Playoffs Normal until the fnals.

It doesn't matter if he's predictable or not, no one can stop it. The teams in his conference especially are terrible and probably don't even have active managers.

He's likely going to be playing a team that's extremely outside focused with next to no inside game. 3-2 zone is the way to go. He already proved it when he beat them last game.

He should definitely play LI since it is pretty clearly his most effective offense.

Also, train passing. Seriously. You have some great guard, and especially point guard prospects, no reason for your flow to be so poor.

I'd recommend training passing until the end of the season.

No need to get aggressive. He may be asking about playoffs but you were clearly talking about the regular season when you are talking about "until the finals". There is no "Playoff normal" until the finals. Playoff normal is only available DURING the finals.

If you are talking about until the finals, surely you mean TIE.

I admit I didn't scout his team so I'll take your word regarding tatics. Again, it depends on matchups. Whats to say his opponents don't buy super players a week before the finals...

If you get Deathmaple in the finals I would also advise going with a 3-2, other tactics depend on matchups. Really need to build enthusiasm in all your other matches in preperation for the finals. For roster suggestions I'd have to know what you have for finances. And you should promote with a 21-1 record:)
