No matter what happens in the playoffs you took the wrong route in promoting. I've seen it happen before in my first few seasons and everyone says the same thing in the forums. Buying a full team of old guys to crush the weak opponents in D.V won't last in D.IV+ leagues.

So if you do promote (but you shouldn't) the first step to take should be finding 18-19 year old guards or big men to train. Find 2-3 and get them 48+ minutes a week training them in there core attributes.

Second step should be working on your arena (I haven't looked at it).

Third step should be shedding off those 32+ year old vets you bought.

Definitely work on that arena as much as you can then. Work towards this goal by the end of next season: 6000 Bleachers, 500 Lower Tier, 250 Courtside, 10 Luxury. I'd say that's a reasonable and reachable goal. Hopefully you get lucky in the draft because I never do. Ha. Also don't rely to much on the D.IV TV contract, it's not that much bigger. I went from a 49-51K TV contract in D.V to my now 67K D.IV contract.

Slow and steady wins the race here.

Don't listen to the haterz, you've done a great job so far. For anybody who can get good value of out of the transfer list it is smart to promote out of DV asap as long as you continue to build your arena and your players aren't depreciating too fast. I also went aggressive on the transfer list in my first season and it paid off handsomely for me. Good luck.

You only have 1 "decent" player under the age of 29... I'd love to see you promote into D.III and relegate instantly with a 0-22 record. i.e. "You promoted the wrong way."

No hating, just advising the "smart route" to promoting. Everyone that promotes the oldie vet way usually crashes and burns in D.IV and quits, never makes it out of D.IV and quits, or in the rarest of occasions they promote into D.III while still crashing and burning and inevitably quitting.

So it's in his best interest to change that now or at least ween into buying people to train and keeping his vets on his roster to a minimum.
