Hey guys, got this game a few days ago, it's really cool. Saw other leagues had a thread where they talked to each other some, so I figured I'd make one. Good luck to all of you the rest of the way out, hope I get to know you guys!

Hey JJR3! Welcome to the league! Hopefully you'll stick around and make a great addition!

How is everybody's seasons going so far?

Planning on it! Looks like a great game, I'm having a lot of fun!

My schedule is brutal. Play the top 3 teams in our conference then the top 2 from your conference. If I somehow avoided relegation I'd be ecstatic. How is yours going?

Yeah, this game is definitely very deep and I'm glad you're enjoying it!

My season is very ehh. I have been heavily investing in my arena and trying to time my training so that I can enter DIII and get a quick promotion from there. It's very slow work though and I don't believe either my arena or my training will be ready this season so I look forward to making a push next season for the league champion.

With that said, after being the second best team in the league last season, I invested in a lot of new players this season with significantly higher salaries and I'm really disappointed with their play. We had two very big upsets where I was up by more than 10 in each game and ended up losing both. My team just isn't performing like I expected them to at all and it's quiet perplexing but again, maybe it's a blessing in disguise since I'm not ready for DIII yet anyhow.

The silver lining is that you can compete with those teams, however, as you were up double digits. Also, you may very well move up a spot or two because the top team in your conference hasn't been on in about a month I think, which means he will be bot-controlled pretty soon, which means he probably will start to drop and take a lot of losses.

I think that team did the same thing at the end of the season last year when they lost in the playoffs. Hopefully they come back because it's more fun with more managers

That's very true. Although, it is nice to have a couple of bot teams so you can play "take it easy" and still annihilate them.

How is everyone doing in the cup?

Yeah. After losing my first three games, my next 3 were against bots.

I have my first human player so I have to try now. Are you still in it?

First human player here as well and funnily enough it's the team that eliminated Galaxie 500 in the first round. The team happens to be a demotee from DI so I really don't think I stand much of a chance but depending on how he manages his player's minutes this week, I may at least make it slightly competitive.

Good luck to you. Always have to hate going against top teams early in the cup. I was fortunate last season where I played a higher rank team than me and I was able to win due to the other teams minutes and he played two crunch time games as well right before mine. That does help tremendously.

I don't think I have much of a shot either unfortunately. Playing a guy that has won all of his league games by 40+ in division IV except for one 2 point loss & has just overall a much more talented squad than I. Dude is just outside of top 300 in country, and I am close to 1100.

Oh well. Would love to scrimmage any of you guys if possible starting next week if any of you guys get knocked out.

Also, anyone investing a lot in the draft? Any recommendations on how much to spend?
