Actually, your rank does not look bad in your conference. 2nd, 1 win away from first and two more wins than lisboa city who is a big threat now. So I think u have great chances to finish at the 1st place and secure HCA until the Finals.

As regards the ASG, maybe voters got as puzzled as I am by ur scoring machine. 9k and 37 yo seriously ??! He has nice shooting percentages aswell.

The low salary is more about how effective his skill points are. Low points in high valued skills (Rebounding and passing namely) make him seem less valued than he is. I have no idea how he hasn't diminished in productivity yet though. He's like Kobe, without a ballooned salary. :D

I wonder how sustainable other teams salaries are. Personally I will still be making money and have cash in the bank with my roster. I also know DLR hit the 200k mark on arena income so other teams may have other methods of capturing revenue then simply living and dying in the Cup.

I'm not sure if Kobe has good passing skills, I've never seen him pass the ball (just kidding!).

indeed passing is a great skills to fix shooting %. I love it on big guys. Hope for u he keeps his skills until the end of the season.

Personnally I make like +70k per week with one of the most expensive roster (2nd) but good gate receipts (2nd, behind DLR who is just crazy in this area). I cut on staff (except trainer) and scouting. My 70k are more than the league average (50k) so i'm happy with that. Its enough to expand the arena and buy a new player from time to time.

Actually, looking at your roster, it is a lot more expensive than any other in the league : + 65k in comparison to mine (more than one third) and I am 2nd in the league ! So i guess other teams make money by spending less on salaries than u !

EDIT : I read the opposite to what u meant, sorry. Ur guy has low passing. Makes me wonder even more ! I guess he has good outside and inside shooting. I am very careful with low passing players, they can destroy ur offense sometimes. But it works for u, good for u.

Et oui! Je n'avais pas percuté que c'est ton equipe utopia. La défaite contre toi ici (inattendue) peut me couter cher pour la montée. Et je vois que tu tentes des coups sur la vente des joueurs ici aussi !

Ca va être tendu les PO je pense. Mais j'espère avoir assuré au minimum la montée par "botification"

That's a tough loss. You are taking better than I would. At least you stand a chance to bot promote though cause of your record, it's win or crawl under a rock and cry till next season for me. After nearly beating the 3rd and 4th place team in the final two games by 4 points a piece I suspect that crying will be in my short term future.

Also, am I the only person who hates the playoff split of gate tickets?

Out of frustration i just bought a 96k player ! ;-)

I hope i will bot promote, that was my plan from the beginning because I thought some teams would get a lot better in the PO. But i'm not 100 percent sure i will promote cause i'm not sure how this works actually. If not, I will be very very disappointed ! And maybe i will go in another direction cause i'm not very happy with my team at the moment (oldies, trainees who do not develop, small arena etc.)

PO will be a very tough battle, its amazing. All teams can pretend to the victory.

And I hate the PO split of gate ticket.

Promotion will be given to both teams that makes the league championship and then bot promotion is given to the teams that didn't make it to the finals based on Record with PD being the tie breaker. I haven't looked at any other leagues so I'm not sure how good your record is comparatively but there will be 16 bots falling from Heaven along with the 24 ( 16 automatic and 8 who lost regulations finals).

So there is at least 8 spots for the top 8 teams that didn't make it to the finals.

As far as my happiness with my team, I have to agree to a point. I was working under the guise that DivIII cash would be similiar to USA DivIII and I was sorely mistaken. I am happy with 1 of my trainees but the rest I'm tempted to just flush.
