My first season in this group was tough. My team was not talented enough to face this division but I stick with the plan and by the second leg my team started performing better and ended in the 5th spot.

So, yes it tough but not impossible. you just have to figure out what to do in a short and long term to make your team competitive.

Do players have some sort of hidden skill, because i was thinking that there should be a hidden strength level for each player that would make then play better against a weaker player and vice versa. Maybe they already have this, but i think it would be a good idea to go along with a hidden creativity skill that was recomended for a dunk contest last season.

Would that mean less touch on a jump shot?

There is a hidden physical skill, and the BB won't really comment on it, or exactly what it does, but the most telling factor of whether a player has a high physical skill is fouls.

I agree w X. That guy should sell off a guy or two and train and hope for a great draft.

Rather than an unknown or hidden variable, I still think this is more of a factor of Stamina. But I also think it is likely the combination of the player's OD/ID, Stamna and Game Shape versus their opponent (on a matchup by matchup basis).

Love the name change!

Season 12 tips off in just over 2 days!

No more divine dragons means no more Bumbul. Who will step up to challenge Jorge Mina for the scoring title?

Who will stop the Hawks from winning it all? Can the Illusion and Gavno continue to dominate the Great 8? Will the Great 8 assert itself as a division to be respected?

I start off at home, on TV against a team that views me as their rival. How much more exciting could opening day get?!?

no more Bumbul no more Paakkolanvaara and no more Braden. those are big shoes to fill.

And a prediction: steppers and flyers survived in their first season. what doesn't kill you makes you stronger. they are stronger and really dangerous!

I have a feeling John Barr may give him a run, 2 season ago Barr had the most points per game excluding Smiley. It'll be a good battle.

to goats: I hate that feeling when you just want to throw away your team and start over, I am in the middle of that same thing in hattrick, and have actually decided on doing it at the end of the hattrick season. Before you do it though, try to figure out a way where you can recover your team quick enough to avoid demotion, because no one wants to see your team demote from this league.

I agree everyone has a horror story from when they first promote to DIII. I came up and my first game in D III after going undefeated in DIV was against the great "Scrap Heap Lowposters" (bows in reverence). I had 35 turnovers and 24 personal fouls and lost by 30. HELLO welcome to DIII. However I stuck with it sold some players bought one main guy who had passing and handling and trained him hard to get somebody to handle the ball. That same season I went 6th place and went relegation and swept my opponent. It looks daunting but you can do it if you put your mind to it. Worst case scenario you get sent back down and you know what you need the next time you come up.
