You dont believe I have a tactical advantage against you, TBG, or both?

Just like you, i research a bit as well. The thing with my team, no one would think I have a chance, because my whole teams salary is $80 000. more than a couple individual players in our league make more than that. But I have really thought out the development of my team, and the fact is my team is so versatile. I can play fast pace or slow pace, inside, out or normal, all just as good. Im also very tricky with my positional defending. I put teams' best defenders on my least offensive player. I put my best defender on teams' best offensive player.

Its not a secret, I dont mind giving that information out. But dont count me out, I can win games.

Look at what happened last season, the 3rd best team in the weaker conference ended up winning the season and qualifying. All he did was make a couple hefty purchases at the end of the year. I have money saved up, If I believe I can qualify this year, I will make those purchases and make this season interesting. If not, I will put the money towards my arena and wait for next year!

Dan Stevens = MVP. Easily.

I believe in tactical advantage no one really has an "advantage" because both my team and the TBG and your team all use alot of tactics. Your current team has a very similar build too my team last season, i am not underestimating your team based on salary because my team at one point was also very low and i still managed to win lots of games, even made the finals just like you might. i also have quite abit of depth on my team allowing me to play many tactics.

If you are think that i am underestimating you, don't worry i am not, i was in a similar situation as you were recently, (low player salary and near the top in my division)

last year with clodhoppers they were an exception, they had about 7mill in the bank and could buy nearly any player they wanted, i researched abit and it looks as if you have had a total of $595,863 income this year (not including $ from last season) but with that money you could still buy a finals team if you make the right purchases.

Also how do you determine who a teams best defensive player is? i know you can determine the best offensive player by fg% and pts avg, for defensive player i look at stats like stl/blk or look at the amount of pts/fg% of the player they were defending in that game? how do you do it?

Hey, sorry if my post had a negative tone in it. I didn't mean it. I didnt think you would be underestimating me. You had a low salary last season, but you continue to have relatively low salaries on your team compared to what you accomplished this season. You dont have 1 80 000 dollar player. You have salary very evenly spread.

How do i determine the best defensive player? combination of salary, ppg + fg%, and opponents points & fg%. But I only analyze this much on important matches. I dont analyze every match, I dont have time for it. But for example. If I see guards on a team, a PG & a SG. one is averaging 20 ppg, one is averaging 12 ppg and there salaries are relatively equal. I look at previous games played. I look at the opposing teams PG & SG and look at the fg% and points scored by those players. This depends on a lot of facors such as style of play of opposition etc... BUT USUALLY, the player with the higher defense can be identified by the following

A) his salary is composed of high outside defense. thus his offense must be low and his offensive output must be low
B) opponents fg% is generally low for that specific position.

congrats to TBG, well deserved.

right. well I ended up drawing the only other div 3 team in the cup. Do i like my odds? Nope. His roster makes mine look like Winners BC.

Winners BC beat you by quite a bit during the season and had a 10 point lead on you in the fourth quarter, a game you won in OT.

So....

you might have a chance

That's all true, you are a good manager even if you do resort to underhanded tactics like asking me for a TIE agreement then dishonoring it.

Oh wow i only saw this today, thanks for the welcome even though its late lol... I'll be hanging for a couple of season ^^ i had 2 big time young big men to train, hopefully my plans goes all well. Goodluck to every1 this season c:

i was just unlucky this season, i know i wont be relegeted because im better than the other teams but not as i woufve liked, btw looking forward 2 the draft

Even if you do loose your elimination game you will probably stay in D111 anyway since i don't think there are any human teams in D4 (i could be wrong)

I would hope to promote this season, but i know my team is nothing compared to D11 teams, just hoping to earn some cash and build up my tiny arena.
