if i had to guess you blank'd all but the PG and either have a defensive switch (pg on sf) or some kinda of zone. your defensive matchups are all over the place, and its working.

Yeah, guessed right, switch is PG for SF, hoping my trainee's OD wouldn't get shown up with a LI SF. We'll see how it works.

4 fouls at half-time isn't that promising... :)

yeah, wonder what happens if he fouls out. that could be worse for me if LCD responds by putting more of a true PG in.

Update: BMG's PF is 2 blocks away from tying the NBBA record for blocked shots. He's at 7 right now. He's blocking dunks, jumpers, everything. Please stay at 7.

Edit: He just blocked another jump-shot. 8.

Side note: Ive now had 3 times in the game I've "went up for a dunk in a crowd", missed the shot, had no foul called or blocked shot credited...is that weird? Or are my players just that bad at dunking?

Yeah i was kidding, but I agree with your basic point: these days the game is to fit the best possible combo of players in whatever weekly budget you have. Transfer prices are ridiculously low.


Yes....I kind of miss the days of build a team over time. I don't know...maybe that's still true in the lower levels.

i've said it a bunch of times in the past, but it's hilarious how many non-blocked, wide open dunks/layups are missed. I mean it would be one thing if that only applied lucky-fan types. But when even supposed elite inside scorers miss close to half their open layups/dunks some games....

though with "dunk in a crowd" there's a bunch of people around at least. (not wide open, so a little more plausible).

Which is quite the shame. Given that is what people are doing, AKA carrying salary at their salary 'cap,' it really sucks to have one of the smaller arenas. Since I cant spend as much money as others, it is harder for me to stay competitive, thus have to max out my own salary cap, which again, is lower than others. That leaves literally no money to upgrade my arena such that I can then expand my salary, and have a more competitive roster.

Feel like I'll be stuck in this cycle until I inevitably demote, as there is no real way out of it without a lot of breaks. I'll kill myself and my funds each season to stay here, and just have to repeat the process year after year until I truly do have no money.


I'm not a fan of that either. But you can still be competitive without resorting to it. My top 8 make only $652k... (for reference, there's a team at $869k!). King Drive is there with me in that lower tier of spending too & doing just fine. Even before your last pickup, you had enough salary to be competitive IMO. ($35k or so more than me IIRC?)

However if you truly feel that things really are that dire for your team... wouldn't the smart thing to do be completely tanking next season? Not that I think you should. Just the way you paint your future, you pretty much say you're intent on bankrupting your team for nothing basically. *And* in doing so are severely hampering any chance of quickly promoting back up... (Not sure why you'd rather kill yourself & your funds vs. re-promoting free from your cycle.)
