Sid Vicious guide to promoting out of Div II

Could I have that, please?

I have the following problem in my division: team 1 has sensational defenses every game. Team 2 is better than team 1. I'm neither team 1 nor team 2, but I'd really like to promote out of this place...

With the preface that I seem to have been good enough to be the team that would have promoted "if not for that other team" the past few seasons...

The things I always look at are the salaries of the 6th-10th players, turnovers forced and caused, and opponent's shooting percentage. Usually if your team can be near the top in the league in those categories, you're in great position to move on. Or at least come close.

I don't agree. I think it hurts the game.

I remember when I was a new player. I read the tactical guide and all that 19 times. Still couldn't understand what the hell it trying to explain because my team to start didn't have of proper skill to match what's being explained. I said to hell with it after some time.. I bought a few players. I watch a few managers play. I picked up a few things from their games. Won a lot of games ran through leagues easy because of division strength and copy cat approach.. Never had to train in those days.. quit the game, came back just to learn how to do tactics better. After I went through my players I had skill book.

I trained my stating players then and some never got better some already capped with no training at all? came back same dang thing going on now.. . The good ones was to expensive then, the bad one was all I could afford. Same thing going on now. Buying was the way to go then. I feel in like it still the way to go now. I think theres a lot success in training your player to be great. If can understand the methods to the madness of it.1position training is just a start to that madness not a cure for all of it.

But now it somewhat worse. Its tax. hinder. rinse, recycle ,repeat. I think there some thing I like to call "natural tanking". It's just part of the team growth process and the BB game. I think penalizing that element would kill the game fun aspects.. I don't understand why other are upset for someone taking drastic measure to get revenue or help the ball club? It help their ball clubs it just the natural thing to do. I would go limb to say the spurs(nba) did this and are better for it. In the david robinson era.

I think BB should inject some fun in the game. Some easy success to start stop the hindering on the new players.. Me personally I remember blowing my 1st 1 mill and team was no better than a 5 league champion. .Same thing going on today with youth. Im my opinion BB hasn't growed a lot past that. That's my rant on the gloom / doom

I do with agree the manager who said put the app in that web site and please say it for older teen to adults gamers. 16+.. because this game is really not made for 13 ys old or some who want fast fun and fast success.. Its not made for that to be honest to many restrictions. Unless your a hard core basketball lover and like tactical gameplay.

I don't think a restrict on tanking would help BB because you have to lose to start and sometime you lose to get better in the draft .You have to lose to re construct your ball club to get better... Why should that manager be penalized for doing a natural thing?? How do we know a team is not tanking. I can tank and go 10-10 for the season, I can tank and go to playoff.

It really depends on the nation. At any rate, it looks like you all believe forums to be important (so do I): is there any plan to reshape the forums somehow, to make them more appealing/easier to access? I know they work as they are, they are just not the most appealing/user friendly I've seen in games of this kind.

That's the thing and point Manon. Why give them low potential players to start. Why give them capped players to start.? Why give them bad draft picks to start.? In small bb just wasted the managers time. 5 league is about learning the game versus bots what better level to understand things. If you got, feel good players that are good they can get better in training. while the arena is being built. They can get ticket income. they can promote with a solid team. Learn training better be more excited about staying because they have a winner.

They would not have to buy, flip players, day trade. Tank.

Like said there's no real answers to tanking because it a natural thing to do for ball club.BY putting penalty there would not help anybody, if they can not cover the cost. What are they suppose to do , if they have bad players and lose in the league they get hit a with tanking fine?? How it that there fault ,how it their fault or right to dictate them to do rebuild, reconstruct? Its natural thing to do the betterment of your ball club..

I will go even more in depth in my argument. Certain teams can be build for the tactic. which cost money, some more than others. Now look here if reconstruct my team to play a new way, it take around 2-4 season same as building youth. That unless you have the money?? I would say 1-2 seasons. All this fall on if know your stuff, if not you just wasted your money and your time. Ohh and a got new fee to go with it.

I feel BB should be helping injecting fun into the game to start. I understand learning curve.. There driver-ed , training wheel for bikes.. You cant just go to super moto-cross or rally euro championship day 1. Tome BB is putting them in a championship day one, your forced to spend to compete, then restrict them on that and say train with bad players. Look at who they have to start with, more bad potents than good , BB draft same scenario in a lot of cases?. Now some want afine for "natural tanking" to better the ball club regardless of level of play? BB just lost another player regardless of level of play.IMo
