Making bold statements like "when I get to the NBBA" is not the same as planning to rise to the top. Planning/hoping and expecting are different. I would say a large number of teams that promote from V to IV, or especially from IV to III arent ready to compete at the next level yet and struggle to stay or tumble right back. Thinking forward and long term is great, but I always recommend to new players to scout and see what it takes to stay in the next league up, not just get there. I have clawed and fought my way into II and am hanging in there and I am still not ready to claim to the community "When I get to the NBBA", but hey that's just me to each their own. Not claiming it wont diminish my efforts one bit

And I soundly disagree completely with your thought process.

Ah I see your stance, you just want everyone to be quiet managers, you don't want new teams to get pumped about their future/hopes. I just think your forgetting the social factors of the game, theres press releases, nation team forums, league forums for a reason. Of course most teams arent ready to compete at the next level, thats why they have to plan and act with a plan appropriately.

Hahaha, yeah that is what I meant, for everyone to shush.


If talking smack pumps you up, smack away.

Yeah, I should have explained a bit more.

You made a blanket statement that I thought was silly...but it wasn't fair to me respond with my own vague one-liner.

When you said:
If you're not planning/hoping to get into NBBA then you're playing the game wrong.


I said:
I disagree completely...


To elaborate a bit, I think that there is room within the game for people with lots of goals...but I was primarily thinking of people who train players for the NT. Some of them never intend to get to the NBBA and countries who have lots of players like this inevitably succeed on the National stage. I don't think they are playing the game wrong?

I should have stated my opinion as how I feel on the subject. To me someone whose only goal is to train an U21 player and/or NTer is just not playing the game to its best. Of course the game is not only limited to getting to the NBBA, but you can still focus on things like the Cup, National Team while trying to advance through the leagues.

To more so clearly state my opinion on the topic I'd rather put it as this: If you're not trying to advance through your league and win games when you need to/its beneficial towards you, then you're not playing the game right in the way I view it.

Exactly. It is how you view it. For me, if you are enjoying what you get from BB, then you are playing it right...regardless of what you are trying to do.

If everyone played the game the way you suggest, you would find it harder to promote and your options would be more constricting. I don't think it would be as enjoyable to play as you imagine.

My view is I play it for the competition. I am a coach by trade and being able to manage a team is a fun thing to do even though it can come with frustrations! lol. I have never once thought in my head, "I can't wait to get to the NBBA!" Am I playing the game wrong? I don't think so. I like winning and I feel like I've been competitive making the playoffs in D3 the last 3 years. My goal is to figure out how to create a team to get to the next level, but if I don't I'm okay as it's fun to play anyway. Lately I've been paying more attention to the NT and U21 teams for fun. I have a prospect that is very borderline for next year's U21 team. It's been fun training him even if he doesn't quite make it. There are so many aspects to the game and so many things to strategize that I feel like I will play this game for a long time regardless if I make the NBBA or not.

Good post Stauder. I am not aware of anyone ever winning games or promoting or making it to NBBA based on claims announced to the general public. As far as I am aware the only way to get to the NBBA is to manage your team well. Bold claims dont factor in.
